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.

And there she is. The original, arcade Testarossa being used on Xbox for demonstration purposes at E3 2004. Look at him (Asam Ahmad) - teasing us with the original design only to take it out before release. The menu buttons are looking quite different too.
Now, the only way we can play with this Ferrari is if it's still somewhere in the game code or else you have an original Outrun 2 cabinet lying around (or emulation develops). I'd love to know why the design was changed. Was it at the request of Sega? The request of Ferrari?
Was it originally designed like this particular 'spider' Testarossa here:

Your guess is as good as mine.

No idea why game audio was not picked up by OBS. But I digress...... 4:06"xxx reached and there are still a few mistakes. 4:05"xxx is on the cards...

Test stream and run (my fastest). Teknoparrot is almost perfect in some ways but still get some sound issues (most notably at the end of this run) and can't get the right FFB "feel" on the controller. Research continues.
Captured at 720P as I am a muppet which apparently isn't HD anymore on Youtube?

Big improvement on my previous time and the current world record. There's a few seconds to trim off this though (sub 13 mins is not off the table I suspect)
