Hey Guys,

so basically I tried beating the WR Time of the 'First Credits Run'. I watched the footage of the moderator. First of, when do I actually start the timer? Because I've seen the current WR Holder start it right at the Automatic/Manual Selection Screen. And I did so too. I gave up after the novice tracks, because my Run was already slower. My Time for the tracks:

Ridge Racer Novice: 1'42''360 (faster) Revolution Novice: 2'26''020 (faster) Renegade Novice: 2'34''280 (faster)

WR Holder at this point in the Run: 9'03. Me at this point: 10'30.

I can't explain why my 'run' is much slower. More than a minute behind. Even if I tried I couldnt mess up the navigation in the menu this bad to mess up the time like this.

Is it because Im playing on an original N64 system (PAL) and the PAL version of the game? I also have no expansion pak. I heard about them being much slower. And if so, is there some kind of multiplier for my time to even the odds?
