Already beaten hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The fight for the world record on TMNFs E03 between Norwegian soldier Wirtual and German officer riolu is continuing!
While were still finding ourselves very far away from whats theoretically possible on this track, the level of obnoxiousness raises with every tiny record improvement.
In this run, I was able to combine one of my fastest opener laps with a sub-par lap 2 and an ok-ish lap 3. The bugs and slowdowns in lap 2 sure oversalted my salad but at least I was able to clutch out this small improvement over the former 4:38.01 WR by Wirtual.
Theoretically, a 4:34 could be doable here, especially considering the possibility of an extra shortcut in the first quarter of a track which includes a small re-route around the respawn checkpoint.
However, I do believe anything in the 4:36 range will already be incredibly difficult to beat due to the nature of the track.
GL!

This is my personal best time and current world record at the time of upload on Stadium B15.
Former WR: 1:04.773 by CarlJr (+0.130)
I played this one randomly out of curiosity and found myself beating the old WR rather quickly. Guess noone bothered to really hunt this xD
Its a pretty basic track, very precision-based and with one crucial part - that being the uphill after the upwards ramp jump. In all three laps you slam right into the uphill which requires a very specific setup in order to maintain ground contact after the landing.
In lap 1 you need to land slightly rotated to the left to achieve a diagonal approach over the hill to keep the wheels grounded. Another important thing is to remain in the higher gear, meaning that the cars rotation needs to be on point. Too little of a rotation and you wont get the nojump, too big of a rotation and you will slide too much and lose your gear. Its about finding the perfect balance. The higher gear needs to be kept especially due to the freewheel block coming up after the left hander. That one seperates the players keeping the higher gear and those who shift down.
In the flying laps, the approach for that uphill landing-to-nojump combination is a bit different due to the higher entry speed. I am pretty sure there is a more optimal approach to what I (and the former WR) used here but this seems to do the job so far. The goal is to land straight, time the airbrake accordingly and release shortly just before the landing. Then you hope for the wheels to stick to the ground xD The faster you approach the jump, the earlier you need to airbrake.
The remaining turns are fullspeed precision, surely satisfying to nail those!
I kinda enjoyed hunting this one for as long as it lasted, even though the nojumps (especially in the flying laps) really burnt my bacon since theyre really precise and really punishing. I think a .4 is doable here with the current strategies, both of my flying lap nojumps were ok but not super optimized. Anyway, a WR is a WR, right? :)
