BTW all my sent replays will be public this month.
Let's all play in open GNU competition mode this month, it's allowed by the rules: "You may override this behavior to a positive direction (e.g. make your PUBLISHED even when sent during quiet days.)"
I might be focusing on the wrong things for optimization. I'm curious who the mysterious driver is, my wild guess is last year’s champion!
Thanks @MiDiaN! It's a well-optimized replay but not excessively so; if a driver of your level has issues matching it there is probably some trick that is missing from your run. I will add: I have deliberately avoided practicing on this track before its publication (kept on ice after some 1:45 validation replays), so even if the timing of some acrobatics is very tight my lap does not contain one-in-a-million miracles. I could rebuild a similar replay from scratch in about 90 minutes. If nobody beats my time during this week I will drop some hints, or maybe publish a lap made by a mysterious driver I had asked to test this track (Don Matrelli? Mika Häkkinen? The Stig?)
Did I miss something or are there any hidden roads somewhere?
That's a great time @HerrNove!
@dreadnaut : thanks for finding the time to be here; all the best for your fatherhood and don't forget to install an infant car seat on your Jaguar! @RCBandit : congrats for making it to the end, it's a though track and if you manage it you are ready for everything
@AresUII : when I designed the track that piece of ice was meant to be used, but it seems to be faster to avoid it. I used it in my original track validation lap (1:45), but now no more.

Poll time: who actually used the first bit of ice road?
Finally I got the lap right. Guess I can die in peace now
