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.▷ 1:13.82 Jaguar XJR9 IMSA

Poll time: who actually used the first bit of ice road?

Finally I got the lap right. Guess I can die in peace now

I want to apologize to @AresUII. I made a rushed assumption that he had broken the rules, but after looking into it properly, he hadn't done anything wrong. That was my mistake, and I'm sorry for that, especially as someone new to the competition. Respect to him, and sorry again.

On the topic raised the other day: There is no significant overlap between the beginnings of any GAR replays from anyone in this race so far. (As an arbitrary example out of many, forwarding the 2:50.05 and the 2:48.80 Silverado laps from @AresUII to 17.00 shows they clearly differ from each other.)
