Yes, I have been aware of that it can one barrel in the end when I started to practice Fertilizer. I use to warm up myself a few times by playing and then check the replays of the other top players. At that time I saw someone else also had one barrel in the end. When I managed to reach 1st place I saw that it was only one barrel in the end I started to compare my attempt with PiotrMista to see how much time I gained with one barrel instead of two. The second reason was also that I wanted to compare my leadingtime with PiotrMistas time by dividing the track into 3 parts. I will show you here:
Light blue barrel after right turn in the beginning:
PiotrMista: 0:21:39
TYZX999: 0:20.61 - 0:20.64
Leading with ~ 0.75 seconds
Attaching the trailer:
PiotrMista: 0:57.78
TYZX999: 0:56.86
Leading with 0.92 seconds
Dark blue barrel in the end:
PiotrMista: 1:16.32
TYZX999: 1:15.44
Leading with 0.88 seconds
Finish:
PiotrMista: 1:27.62
TYZX999: 1:25.74
Won with 1.88 seconds
The part when attaching the trailer I was counting when the trailers "legs" (I don´t know the english word for it) in the front started to move up from the ground. The times above may not be exact because I checked it from a mediaplayer.
Well, what can be seen is that I was in the lead all the time from the beginning. It seems that you will gain about 1 second if there is only barrel there in the end instead of two. I don´t know if I could have kept my leading time if there would have been two barrels there in the end.
