I improved this ring attack by getting all 8 rings in the free fall section. (6 more than before)
I grab these rings by backtracking to the top and going through the free fall section again and again until I have all the rings.
To backtrack, all you need to do is boost toward the vertical tunnel and jump to avoid the boost pad at the end of the tunnel. If you jump at the right time (very easy to do) you just fly up into the vertical tunnel and you can get back on the rail and backtrack to the start of the free fall section.
The only tricky thing about this is backtracking the second time and beyond because the camera changes position. I play it safe and hold down after the camera change and hit the booster so that I may turn around after the camera is behind Sonic but, you can probably just go toward the tunnel and land on the rail such that you start grinding toward the tunnel and proceed to backtrack.
