Is this World Record legit ? Because it said "Glitchless" but a time glitch is used (A glitch that reduce the time on the host's screen, like a visual bug). In the video, they did it in 2min50 (with external timer) but the IGT say 2m16. I think it's a glitch abuse, and I would like to know if it is legit or not. Thank you!

It's not a glitch, it's a death mechanic abuse (pretty much a requirement in co-op runs) - every time you get downed it slows down time a bit for you (it's client side, so for everyone else time runs normally). And because it's the host's time that counts for the run, he kept on killing himself, while someone else drove the car, to shave off as much time as possible.

Just to clarify, this is an acceptable technique that exploits the fact that host's in-game time is used for these boards, and not a game glitch per se (hence the glitchless label). Considering it requires coordination and has drawbacks (being downed), and that using it sometimes doesn't shave off extra time (during timers for example), tactical down slow-motion is tolerated. Similarly, mask-up slow-motion is also allowed since it's a one-time slow-mo that requires you to mask up near a guard.

WHAT IS BANNED (including in glitched category) is using the infinite slow-motion glitch, for many reasons:

• it has to be activated prior to the run, so technically this activation time should be taken in account
• it has basically no drawback and there's no timing to have. Host only has to never go down again for the glitch not to reset, which is particularly easy since...
• Enemy AI is affected by slow-motion and becomes brain-dead, so there no longer is any threat. It's basically playing god mode (and remember that the actual god mode glitch that used Kingpin was banned at the time, same for April's Fools ricochets).
• It is neither fun to run or watch

All of this could be fixed by using real time timers like for Crime Spree, but I personally wouldn't want to sacrifice interesting techniques.
