Hello everyone, I'm a new mod around here, hoping to represent the mostly-hidden speedrun community this game has. It actually strongly GREW in activity over the last 12 months due to our dedicated discord for the game: https://discord.gg/gQvj8Vc
The community has spent the last year creating leaderboards and advanced statistics for these game modes in this spreadsheet.

This leaderboard is premised on the PC steam leaderboards, and completely filters out all cheaters. This is not a replacement for speedrun.com, but it gives you more options to measure yourself. I will be attempting to get many of these players to submit their times to speedrun.com. Many times have videos, noted by the times being underlined.
The rules for admission are:
-
World Records must have a video
-
Other times must have a race-able saved ghost on the leaderboard, OR have a video recording.
-
The standard category is "glitchless, no major skips"
-
There is a 2nd, much less popular category of "glitchless, major skips allowed." It is currently missing after a major overhaul and will be re-added soon.
-
Times must be done on PC, however there are plans to allow console times. This is because every single top player across all platforms is a PC player, and the few console top players all converted to PC by 2015. There are uncertainties about consoles performing the same, but after some analysis, it looks like they do, aside from planes on consoles being able to flip without losing speed when not under the influence of a boost, something that was patched out of PC as a glitch.
That's all I can think of for now. I'll be trying to improve things around here as well as can I can.
