i don't expect this record to stand for very long, but it's a HUGE time cut due to me skipping races in the championships, something im surprised no one else had tried before.

i used the road car route as i am not skilled enough to do all golds in the time trials or a licenses, but someone told me that the road route might be faster with skips seeing as there's less time to make up if you use a route that detours from the beginner league, not sure how true that is though, it would need to be worked out.

in total there are 12 races skipped which is almost perfect. i was planning on also skipping seattle in the gt world championship but the points didn't work out. didn't matter either way as i screwed up badly at the end of trial mountain reverse which would've caused the run to die had i done the seattle skip. im not sure if any more races can be skipped due to money, but maybe it's doable.

sub 5 is absolutely possible with the 13th skip, better driving, better menuing and also no resets on spider & roadster, but i won't be the one to achieve it.

i will add my notes to the guide section so that others can have a look and make adjustments if they are needed.
