So after watching where some runs start (In particular the WR run on N64) it seems like people are starting their runs on completely different parts, for example on my run and others we start upon clicking start for the Hot Wheels Cup whereas on other runs the timer starts when you hear "Go!" on the first race so where is the real starting point?
Yo, the rules were recently (like, early 2021 i think) rewritten to have timing start when you press the button to begin a race or cup. Old run's time's have yet to be updated with the timing difference between starting the run on "GO!" and starting the run on entering the race. My bad on that, I forgot that those need to be updated at some point!
