Hey what's up road rash buddies, for some reason I got into a road rash mood and started playing again. I tested almost all the tracks for speedier runs (as I'm sure many others have as well) I thought maybe we should have a new thread compiling all of them in order for anyone in the future willing to try to find new 'Skips' in the races to save everyone's time experimenting and thusly save time for everyone :)
So I made this little guide, I tried making it easy to understand. I made a legend to explain some of the expressions but hopefully it's easy to follow along, it details which turns to take and how to take them in order to 'skip' to 1st place and finish the race faster.
I'm posting this very late night and plan to edit it in the morning, I also hope to edit this later with all the info everyone else in the future would discover and experimentations and maybe this would be good enough to consider it a thorough guide. Cheers.
Legend: < means left , > means right , 'over the patch' means riding over a patch of land at a corner of an intersection to reset the position marker; and 'backwards' means to turn around and ride the wrong way.

oh that sounds great, I was trying to figure out some strats on how to make the cars spawn in the lane you'd want since I noticed they kinda have a set point in the races to spawn depending on how far you are in the race aswell (?) & knowing that would make races easier. so I'm all ears.
