The active runners have decided to create 2 new categories where the goal is to achieve the fastest 1st lap as possible. The 2 new categories are called "1st lap" and "1st lap (Cheats)." There is a little bit of overlap with the 1 lap category but only on tracks where the 1 lap record is achieved on the 1st lap. For the most part, these new categories will not result in new 1 lap records because the 1st lap is usually slower than all other laps because you have yet to build momentum or your freekout meter. The creation of this category may also help with developing strats that will improve 3 lap runs.
