So, yesterday I was chatting with Emperor about some ideas for this speedrun, and we agreed that the full World Championship is something very boring to run, since it's like 2 hours and half doing the same thing, and nothing new despite G.Ceara and getting down to Dardan.
So, I thought on having a new category for this speedrun based on only "beat one season". That could be splitted in 3 categories:
- Crashless
- Any%
- Minarae% (consists of basically finish the game without changing the car. That could apply to the full WC category, but I guess on just one season would be enough)
I think that way people would try to make this one, since it's way more faster to do it than making 2 seasons.
We also talked about ILs (he posted on the forum about it). That would be amazing to compare each time, and since there's some people who run the Super Monaco GP category, it would be something interesting to try out.
I started a thread on the brazilian community so they could help me about some of the glitches, exploits possible in the game that could help on the speedrun somehow, I may post that later when I have enough stuff.
It has nothing to do about swapping drivers but still is a glitch people from the community found.
For example, there's a grass glitch which basically you don't lose much speed on some tracks turns, you basically let go of the speed button and let it pass outside the track.

So, there's a SMGP brazilian community in Facebook which exists for like, almost 15 years and they found a lot of glitches and other stuffs on the game.
So, I just found a new bug that swaps your championship points, together with another drivers when you change cars.
Explaining the situation: I was making a Crash% run (on a WR pace), and everything was going great and all, until I forced my second retire on a Firenze, forcing me to go to Bestowal on Japan. Then, mine, Picos', and Elssler's Championship points got swapped, and Picos got my points, I got Elssler's points and Elssler got Picos' points, which ruined my attempt at all.

Hi! My name's Gabriel, and I'm beginning my first steps as a speedrunner, starting from Super Monaco GP!
Actually, since 2005/2006 in Brazil, on the Orkut social media, a group of people started a SMGP championship, similar to a speedrun (but separated through different GPs). And it has championships yet (Also we are having a championship using only C Class cars.), and a couple of them (including me) started to stream the game. As to me, that is my first step to speedrun the whole game.
But then, let's back to the subject: Glitches.
Some guys in the Brazilian SMGP community found a glitch on the game that consists of passing through the grass without losing too much speed, instead of turning the car on the hard curves (like this one in Spa: )
So, I'm thinking about using it on the WC No-Crash speedrun. Is it okay?
Another thing I was thinking about is a Monaco GP Discord, would it be a good idea?
Anyway, there'll be probably new speedrunners on SMGP and probably ASMGP on the next few weeks, aside from me! I hope they'll enjoy it!
