It's a short dash to the beach with the Baja Piccolina but you need to stay close to an AI driver. Pushing him (there's a damage limit) and overtaking him (there's gap you must stay in) are viable options to go quicker. It's a decently fine balance to strike and I find it fun as hell.

Feel free to use this run for the first benchmark time (premiering in five minutes):

Hello lads, I recently picked up the game just for fun and immediately noticed it's very "runable".

I've also noticed that there are no rules in place at the moment and was wondering if anybody is working on them. I'm talking about a full-game here. I'd like to know stuff like when does the timer start, when does it end, etc.

Have a good day.

Hello, nostalgic RC drivers!

I've recently stumbled across Nerd3's "Complete" series of Re-Volt and I instantly asked myself if this game is speedran to this day. Apparently it is, so glad to see a thread here about it.

I want to start speedrunning this beauty but I wanted to ask you a few questions so here goes:

1. What version is more suitable for a speedrun and are you aware of some minor/major differences between certain patches?

2. Is it a good idea to always pick the fastest car of the pack? Since everybody's playing on Arcade I think that helps a lot with handling so I see no reason why you shouldn't always go for the speed demon.

3. Has anyone timed differences between the difficulty/handling settings? It would be amazing to discover that Simulation makes certain cars faster. Just a thought.

4. A really interesting target would be a sub-1h run. Are there any lap skips possible by damage-boosting over walls or by clipping through barriers?

5. Where I can get a copy of the game that would be considered a legit one to run? I believe pirated versions are a no-go here.

6. What is a good practice plan? Just practicing one cup at a time or just one race a time?

7. How well optimized are the routes so far? Are there any races that can be significantly faster? I haven't got time yet to sit down and watch a complete run but I can imagine you people have been racing on the almost-ideal line for a while.

Thanks a bunch, hope to battle some of you on the leaderboards soon. Have a good one!
