Phew. I wanted sub 2:30 but this was seriously difficult. I'm so bad at missing the stickies on the sharp turn by the houses and also the NPCs are a nightmare on this level. I switched to simplistic difficulty for an easier time on lap 1 after finding it no easier to avoid the NPC cycle on easy.

This run has TINY slowdowns like picking up the two boosts a bit slow on lap 1 and a messy turn at the start of lap 3, but that's it. You can see even with my sum of best 2:28:xx is not possible. I don't anticipate running GW any time soon unless some miracle OOB timesave is discovered.
