Finally broke the 48 minute barrier, so here it is.. with some *new* major time saves:
- "Valdez Alert!": @4:30 Becoming invulnerable when you pass the "gate" to the generator (yellow suit) which normally gets cancelled when you cross it on the way back again. Bypassing that with the elevate/teleport glitch keeps the invulnerable effect even after passing the mission. Note the mission only activates the invulnerability effect after you hit the marker at the lab entrance @4:08. With this you basically don´t have to worry about getting busted/damaged for the rest of the run! Credits to former gta2 speedrunner WordOfWind who found this.
- "Taxi Traitor Test!": @16:26 You can jump from the ramp onto the roof in the middle of the test track and then trigger the new laps driving only a short distance. Saves around 30 seconds! This shortcut was found by Nukular.
- "Operation Z!": @26:31 On the last car you don´t actually need the Cop Car on the trailer where the marker points to. It is sufficient to get any trailer and car since game only checks whether a car was lifted by the crane, so there is no need to even put the car onto the trailer. This saves 80-90 seconds! First part was found by WordOfWind and second by me after looking at the mission script.
