The TrackMania Open goes into its next tournament, this time based on the dirt style! This is a solo competition that has been going on for the past month going through a double elimination bracket.
With me being a somewhat competitive dirt player I thought I'd give this tournament a fair chance and aim for a spot in the grand finals.
Who will take home the crown and the victory in this high level dirt cup?

This is my personal best time and current world record at the time of upload on Stadium A13.
Former WR: 25.523 by Hefest (+0.009)
A map where Ive always had an entry at the top of the leaderboard since its a mostly precision-based track, however at this point it is getting annoyingly precise. There isnt a lot of time left to be gained so the slightest error basically means a restart already.
Already the nojump zigzag in the very beginning can heavily vary in speed outcome, depending on the timing of the steering movements. Time discrepancies range between 0.01 to 0.03 if youre really unlucky, so the start is already decisive.
Coming up to the ramp cut, you want to slightly hit the ramp with your front left tire, resulting in gravity pulling the left side of the car downwards right after leaving the road. This will cause an early landing on your left set of tires which is required for the nojump setup at the downhill.
Steer left before landing, opt for a diagonal approach whilst facing the downhill and stop steering as soon as the right front wheel touches the ground. Restart steering as soon as all four wheels have ground contact again. Its a stupidly precise line but it works once you developed a feel for it.
For the next small jump, perform a small right steer before the jump and airbrake early to land on your back tires first. This will give you a speedboost.
Another decisive section is the meme bounce on the last downhill. The goal here is to land in a way that you have at least two wheels touching the ground throughout the entire landing process. You want to land on your back wheels first, meaning you need an early and very precise airbrake again. The further right you jump, the earlier you need to airbrake. There are no real visual cues here so this is also something that you will just pick up after time.
A proper landing will result in a hefty handstand sort of movement down the hill which gives you a significant speed boost if executed properly. Generally, the more extreme of a handstand you get, the more speed you get out of it. Since you are in freewheel mode here, every little speed advantage is very helpful.
For the end, pick the tightest possible line around the corner and try to hit the finish as far right as you can.
Understanding this track seems like rocket science in the beginning but it does make sense once you go further into detail.
If this text wasnt enough, perhaps a spoken video tutorial might help you a bit further:

I think theres not a lot left to be gained on this track. I can see something like a .48 or .49 being doable here since I lost a little bit of time at the back wheel landing after the first platform. Anything faster is either ridiculously lucky or requires new strats/approaches.
