Well, I have to say that the fastest I have been able to finish the Agrilat Circuit in a swoop is 320 seconds. I usually have the overhead map on, so I can see when the waypoint is coming up, and I try and cut the corner as much as possible. The waypoints update when you are about 15 meters from them, so knowing exactly where the waypoint is helps a lot. It also helps if you know the approximate angle of the turn beforehand, so you can *just* hit the edge of the update area. After a few practice runs, you should be able to run the track pretty well.
I can't wait to craft myself another AV-21 so I can try the track out with it.
(minor nitpick) I wish the "attacked" music didn't have to overrun all the music in the game... I love the racing music. (/minor nitpick)

Haha, thanks... here's the best advice I can give...
Start off as fast as you can - have a toolbar button for "mount" set so as soon as you hit GO! on the droid dialogue you can hit your autorun button and the mount key to get off to the fastest start you can.
Instead of aiming right for an obstacle in your path and then turning at the last minute, you want to aim for the edge of it as soon as you know it's there.... the straighter the route you take between waypoints, the faster.
You can get away with being a little ways away from a waypoint and still have it acknowledge you passed it... use this knowledge to make sharp turns and reduce the course as much as possible.
Some obstacles you can pass through. Take a test spin through the course to check it out and see what you can learn.
Good luck!

Hehe, it's kind of ironic. The racing music used to be the battlefield combat music.

The Mos Espa track (or Keren) isn't live yet.

Was wondering if that wasn't the case, takes me a bit to put two and two together sometimes, but I usually get there.
Thanks for spelling it out for me though
