I've decided to do some testing since the newest discovery in Pet Racer - 30 FPS strat.
I ran Low Gravity at least twice with every character (yes, I know Fair Play would be much better but I didn't think of that). Haven't tested using multiple pets on one run. These are the results:
Panther - 10:43 - best top speed, great if used well (@dootz_'s run)
Dinosaur - 11:06 - bad
Chicken - 10:52 - mid
Frog - 11:04 - meh
Tortoise - 11:09 - bad
Shark - 10:36 - good overall (improvable)
Bull - 10:15 - surprisingly good
Giraffe - 10:40 - mid
Bear - 10:17 - good
Gorilla - 10:21 - decent
Robot - 10:02 - great because of turning, my choice
Lion - 10:28 - mid
Conclusion: Panther is the best choice because you don't have to mess around in character selection menu, Dinosaur and Tortoise suck, unlockable characters are better than I thought, Robot slaaay.
hey hi On April 14th @DzikuseQ and myself will do a race in PolyTrack - 69 Random Levels on an event called McRaeathon 2024 - a racing games only speedrunning marathon. Available to watch over at their Twitch channel. Just thought some gamers here would like to know? :p

Hey. Can someone update leaderboards? After few game updates there's new Grand Prix and DLC. Here's my run of it: Also you could fix typos :p
Ok, so what do we do with Goals categories? As you can see we didn't think of players changing stadium to a smaller one when making rules XD Do we leave it as it is? Separate categories with stadium variables? Adjust rules to only allow the default stadium? Change timing method?
Why don't we add IGT to leaderboards? We already require runners to show race results after finishing so it'd be easy to calculate total IGT by adding both times to each other. Maybe even make it the main timing method?
Yesterday I've encountered a glitch (or two of them because I don't know if they're connected to each other) where game was not detecting cuts and wasn't giving me warnings or DQ. Tried replicating it for 2 hours with no success and gave up. Here is the VOD of the run that it happened on: The other glitch is being able to skip grid animation that pops up after entering any race. I was able to get it consistently until I quit the game. Today couldn't get it to work either. Since I gave up I'm posting it here because those seem very useful for speedruns. Feel free to figure them out yourself :)
Hello. I'd like to request a new category - All Kills. The goal would be to get rid of all killable characters in the game. Timing starts when player clicks on STORY and ends when player kills the 4th person (the man with a gun) on Rat Poison. All levels must be played.
Here's how many people are killable on every level (1.0 patch): INITIATION - 2 DELIVER US FROM EVIL - 2 UNDER THE RADAR - 40 STRAIGHT TO THE SOURCE - 8 RAT POISON - 4 PAWNS - 16 TRAITOR - I don't know just do the explosion strat 5Head AMICO NOSTRA - 3 THE FAMILY - 11 THE LAST PIECE - 10 JUDAS - 13 LOOSE ENDS - 13
Here's my run:
If you've got any suggestions or questions go ahead.
I have a problem with 1 level from Challenges. It's Deathmatch! As you can see on my older runs: Here I got 999 red ammo: https://www.speedrun.com/glacier_3_the_meltdown/run/ylo0w8ky Same here: https://www.speedrun.com/glacier_3_the_meltdown/run/m78g59wz On this one I got 140: https://www.speedrun.com/glacier_3_the_meltdown/run/y2vd2l5z And now the best part. When I play the game now and load up Deathmatch! I get only 8 red ammo XD Any ideas why is that happening/how to fix it? Can you tell me how much ammo do you get on this level? Cheers
I suggest a few changes:
- Timing individual levels with IGT because that's how game shows the time. I believe that's accurate. Why make our lives harder for no reason?
- Removing milliseconds because of the previous point. You know you can disable milliseconds in game settings (on speedrun.com), right?
- Separating level leaderboards with patches (current patch/old patch just like you did in full-game leaderboards) if you really don't like older versions.
- Changing "Amigo Nostra" level name on level leaderboards to "Amico Nostra" as it is in game (just a little typo).
- Writing properly category names and ILs (please change case of letters, for example: Any% not any%). I hope we can come to an agreement.
I'd like to present my personal tierlist of cars in the compact class. Feel free to post your tierlist here aswell (let's keep it Compact Trophy only). S - Mini Cooper S A - Citroën Saxo Super 1600, Porsche 911 SC Safari, Porsche 911 SC Safari+ B - Ford Racing Puma, Ford Racing Puma+, Ford Escort RS1800 MKII+ C - Peugeot 106 GTI 2000, Ford Escort RS1800 MKII
Hey! Could we please get updated categories (like grand prix idk chceck the game)? It's pretty outdated as it is right now. I don't want to sound mean. I'm just interested in running the game and we don't even have rules written down. Cheers
Hey. I know the game seems a bit dead but I just can't help but ask why there isn't a category for Grand Finals? Cheers
Just like in Forza Horizon 3 categories on here e.g. All Showcase Events with sub categories of Fast Travel% and No Fast Travel%. Could be fun.
Hey I got an idea of adding a new category where you'd need to do all long races (The Colossus, The Gauntlet, The Titan, The Marathon and maybe The Goliath) in the quickest time (no sure about DLCs tho). We could separate the category into Fast Travel% and No Fast Travel% just like the rest. I think it could be fun.
