Goal A (Route 1) after doing the skybox trick. Run is nothing remarkable, this is more just for the beautiful journey in literally, a new light. The low hanging sun makes a cool looking shadow over your car and changes the look in all stages but especially Cloudy Highland though - glorious looking sky which is normally hidden by the cloudiness of that highland. Looks like one of the Aurora's.
This was played on my now older Xbox 360 at 1080p for the best possible image I can capture and, though the emulation is known to be a little poor, really the problem was my 360. After 14 years...... it's dying. You can see it struggling on screen especially at the end of stage 2. Have since grabbed myself a more reliable Xbox 360 E (which still supports my BELOVED 360 HD-DVD player). Handsome machine, reliable, nice and quiet - this is the console we SHOULD have got in 2005.

Not bad for play on the very sensitive Xbox One controller on Teknoparrot. Attempted to stream at 1440p so may look like crap sadly

Doesn't seem to be anywhere on Youtube and naturally, players and managers in it are now retired but the ESL announcement reminded me of this gem from Mario Rosenstock and Gift Grub (of Today FM Ireland fame)

New world record and plenty to shave off it too. Have my sights on a possible 2:41"xxx
Or perhaps even lower?

Original video is only 30fps thanks to youtube not offering 480p60 so had to try and get a 720p up.

I think there's a bit more time to save here. Probably a good 2 seconds if I had a wheel and with some tighter cornering on my part.
Recorded at 480P via component on original Xbox with a complicated setup thanks to this NEC V461 monitor.

Finally into the 4:04 range. And now I will rest. This can be improved substantially but I'll likely not be doing so for a while
