A slightly modified single player version of Gelocity 1 race map.
This time you don't have to compete against your friend but you have to fight against the clock.
Use your skills to reach the finish line as fast as you can!
You will probably need a few laps until you know all tricks - so give it at least a second try!
Feel free to post your best times!

Please note that this map is really large. That is why it takes a while to download it.

I was waiting for this kind of your map since forever!
Thank you so much for creating a time trial of it! It is awesome!

My 1st lap on the map:

My 2nd lap on the map:

My 3rd lap on the map:

I will keep going and try it harder! I love this map!
Thank you very much - great idea, really good looking map and lots of details.
The Time-Display and the Checkpoints are awesome! Good work!

I really like every piece and every corner of the map. The details are great, man!

Well... I have tried it some more times.

after about 5 to 7 laps later:

3 laps later:

... and after 20 more laps: (most of them 01:02.9x)

-> 13.26 and 41.84

I need a break...
Really good map - this jump in front of the 2nd checkpoint is complicated as hell

I would post my times, but I would rather not have the world see how badly I did. Well over 2 minutes is rather sad. Let's just say it ain't pretty.

@PortalCombat
Really good lap times!
In order to achieve <1.02, you need to know a little trick that you have to use in the last sector.
The <1.02 was intended as "speedrunner medal" anyway.
So don't mind if you don't get it.

Well, the people who tested this map for me are really good at this, so I wasn't sure if the times were too tight.
What do you think?
Would it be better to make it a little easier?
e.g.
1.) <1.03 (was 1.02)
2.) <1.05
3.) <1.08 (was 1.07)
4.) <1.15 (was 1.10)

I don't want it to be frustrating for the not so fast players...

If you really have to change the times, you could make 2 or 3 categories to choose at the start of the map.

1) beginner (01:30, 01:35, 01:40 and 01:45)
2) amateur (01:15, 01:18, 01:21 and 01:24)
3) professional (01:02, 01:04, 01:07 and 01:10)

And if someone gets a time above the last place, you can open the exit for them with
"hey slowpoke, get out!" ^^

Do not change the 01:02.0 ... it is always good to know the goal on a time trial...

That was pretty good fun! I didn't think I would like this map, 'cause I suck at firing portals while moving fast. But you always gave huge expanses of portalable surfaces which made it fairly easy. And the track itself was quite varied in terms of obstacles, techniques, etc., which greatly increases replay value. My best time, though, was just sub 1:10. I'd really like to see a sub 1:00.

I spent more than two hours in this map today. To be honest the little "party sound" is a bit disappointing at the ending. I was hoping for a companion cube as price for beating the best medal time

That would be awesome! Then you could truly brag (to yourself at least) when you are able to increase the difficulty, so to speak. Although, I would recommend times like this:

beginner (2:00, 1:45, 1:30, and 1:15) [This is me. ]
amateur (1:45, 1:30, 1:15, and 1:10)
Professional (1:10, 1:07, 1:04, and 1:02)

You could also make it where the player can "unlock" the next difficulty when they beat the "gold" or "speed run" time.

Fun map! Only managed to get a bronze though
Here's my blindrun:
8OK8-37Ehog

5/5. Excellent.
Thanks for mapping!
Cheers!

Another try on your map, still some things I could do better.

It is a really hard challenge to get everything as good and as fast as possible.
But it is still fun to try it. =)

Got a silver, less than a second too slow for gold.
EDIT: Got a Gold medal!
This map is absolutely amazing

I never got a chance to play this before, so I didn't have any practice, but I couldn't get under 1:07. Maybe next time..
screeny

I didnt get under this time

Great Map

EDIT: Ok, had an perfect run, but i will never get under this time

Heh. Even thought I'm not a speed-run kind of guy, I spent a couple of days whittling down my time on this map (shortly before coming over here to TWP) and have only ever managed to get silver.

I just can't do any of the shortcuts without stopping to place portals, which is costly when there's only a second difference between times.

After testing the Time Trial 2 (beta) I tried to get my new best time on track one: 01:01.98

I did not use the "cheat" solution, where you bypass the faith plate at the end,
because I really wanted that perfect run without cheats, bunny hopping etc.
