Hi arejay,

Here's how to beat Hovis. It took me a few tries as well.

1. Buy the ship that's on sale at the dealership on the Battleship.
2. Get ready to press Shift+W as soon as the 3 count is done
3. Use the nav points as your guide instead of looking at the rings
4. Use A and D to strafe when you have troubles turning.
5. Practice
6. Practice some more ;-)

I got it on the 2nd go

I think i was playing on easy though.

And he did run into somthing, i overtook him on the third last ring or
so and then it wasy gravy.

Keep trying.
