This run is now obsolete. I beat it another 13 seconds. Start here instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0rxui-Kofw&list=PLSsR_HurxPhDyW-DU1hlNRNDaYe6Xdlo2 Beats the fastest ghost lap by 8.43 seconds! Track: Beltane Car: Deuch Settings: 100-0-30-70-100 Lap time: 1'01"31 This is an old racing game I played way back in the late 90's when I was like 10. And this is a shortcut I discovered back then which exploited this car's ability to turn while airborne. If you tilt this car on its side and then steer upwards, it will start to fly, which you can see after the fast lap. Flight maneuverability is limited so you have to aim your car in the right direction before taking off. I'm racing against the fastest ghost (played by VIENNA) so you can see how much faster the shortcut is. The ghost has an opening lap of 1'09"74 and a fast lap of 1'09"65. I did a really sloppy run with this shortcut back in the day using a keyboard and submitted it to QBall's leaderboards. It topped the rankings for a very brief period, then Leadbest, iirc, beat it with my strat. Eventually all of the times for this track using this car were removed from the leaderboards. This run could probably be a bit faster because I forgot to downshift to first gear in preparation for the second landing in order to make a quicker U-turn. Also I didn't back up all the way to get more speed before starting the lap. I unintentionally had both the "Record Win7 sound" and "Record external input" boxes checked in FRAPS which caused the weird phasing effect you hear in the video.
