Sooo,
Jsap recently did a really nice TAS but with an unoptimal route as the jump to 2nd cp into nose turned out to be too hard. A week ago I've tried the jump and in 2 hours or so it paid out with a brand new approach ! But then, the nose position... After like 5 hours I asked to the one and only threadd to help me with getting a nose and we both struggled a looot to get it (10-15 hours). Once we got it, hmm... Noseboost was a pain to get right as the car just landed with a lot of "momentum" and "steering forces". But I had it after one evening of trying it with many speed bruteforce different setups... Then there's this magnificient border tp to the 3rd cp that came relatively fast. We're now at the end and this was again a pain to get to the nosepos right, I tried like 5-6 fin different approaches... Then the final setup appeared and threadd got a great nosepos out of it but we had the same problem as with 2nd cp, the momentum. Out of despair I tried to make the car turn so as to brake and boom, perfect nose setup with perfect end noseboost. This tas is the longest in my career and it's a bit disappointing to see that the tas is overall maybe not that good for the time spent... Time will tell it for sure. Anyway it's still a great visual experience in my opinion to see it in 1x speed.
In conclusion this track is a real life lesson that hard work always pays off :)
