With all the challenges. All the luck. All the things that could go wrong, and I managed to get a run 19 seconds before hitting 8 hours...

This category is intense, it's just ridiculous and you will go insane at some point. Had some insane luck on some of the most difficult challenges. Struggled with Roach on Way of the Machine, but still managed to get that in one attempt.

Possible to save a lot of time on this, but it's less than an hour. Getting this category under 7 hours is not going to happen. You could optimize the medal route by doing DLC tracks in the middle of base game tracks, but it won't save much time, only the time it takes to do the skill games.
