hey, recently me and TBK have been doing some single segment races of the game. I found it a pretty fun and different way of playing the game. Best example is how you wanna finish 2nd or 3rd rather than 1st in every course because the outro is about 7-8 seconds faster then.
you can find all the races we did here: http://www.twitch.tv/frostbeule/videos - in total we did 7 races.
i also recorded my best time. check it out:
no major mistakes really, just on K3 where i just barely survived in a very clutch way and lost maybe 10 seconds. besides that i drove pretty consistently, doing all shortcuts except the 2nd shortcut on the Q2 opener. there's still room for alot of improvement, but for now i'm satisfied.
