EDIT: There's a problem. The High Scores seem to get lost at times. I've tried several ways to keep them saved, but they don't always seem to be there anymore when reloading your save. Then again, the High Scores were possible to load the first time I've tried.it (and made this post). _ The "Score Skip" let's you consistently skip around 2 seconds after each race. You get straight to the "Bonus Cars" screen and skip the two prior screens & animations.
A little up to a lot of preparation is needed to fully set up the skip for future runs. In order to do so, you'll need to set 3 High Scores that you're very unlikely to beat for each or most of the races in your run. You can then save your Wreckin' Racing / Smash 4 $ Career and it'll be there to reload the next time you turn your game on. Of course you'd have to back off to the Main Menu after loading your "Score Skip Save" so you can start a new Career like always. The High Scores however, won't reset. They'll stay loaded until you turn off the console.
Firstly, all races on PAL begin after the green lights are turned OFF instead of ON, That is around 1 second later than on NTSC. Therefore NTSC saves around one second per race for full runs.
Secondly, PAL load-times seem to be a few seconds longer compared to NTSC.
Now for the real DEALBREAKER... Every single race is one lap longer on PAL! That means PAL runners lose "X" amount of time per lap multiplied by "Y", the number of races in the category!
Tl;dr PAL is not a viable option to speedrun this game competitively, unless you want to do ILs, as the timing starts from the moment where movement is possible.

Heya, I just thought we need a unique design for this game's page. If you like it, feel free to implement it! Here we go...
Site logo based on certain ingame-fonts: Cup Trophies for 1st, 2nd & 3rd place: - - Site background & foreground¤: -
¤: foreground looks best, when turning on fast scrolling
For the actual site colors go with a black, yellow/orange style.
I'm looking forward to run this game soon!
Hey, I've just got back into Driver 3 and I really enjoy the Driving Games. As there are no ILs for these here yet I'm suggesting the addition of them.
As a game moderator myself I know of all the settings and annoying stuff to do on here, so here's my concept: The ingame-timer is gonna be the best way to time the ILs, but as there are some counting up and some counting down, we're gonna need 2 categories for that. I've got some runs ready to submit already.
Also here's my take on a Driver-themed site-logo: If you like it, feel free to add those to all the games. :D
EDIT: Done!
