Fun fact: This game was released before the main transit system of Istanbul was built. But it has the transit system within the game and the website promotes itself with this.

I didn't know the speedrun page was already opened but I did manage to record a speedrun in 2020, i will time and post it here.

It's worth considering that, as far as I understand it, players at that time had access to ghosts of other top players, whereas it's totally unclear to me how a 3:07 is remotely possible. Probably some kind of exploit. Interestingly the same person (or team I guess) has all top four places but they are seconds apart from one another.

I think its impossible as well. It can be bug/exploit about the starting line and the boost at the inaccessible area. The 5th is not part of the same "jexa" team, so they either had access to the exploit or 3:12 is possible.

As long as we only have access to these leaderboards without video-proof we've only got speculations. With our current knowledge of the game these times are impossible to achieve.

At the moment I would guess high 3:17 is the absolute limit for the route Will_Treaty and I used. Otherwise you'd almost certainly need to find new lines or pick up more boosts somehow.
