I was watching Jukes' full game run and it looked like he was doing overdrive tapping to the extent that it had before the SRL update?

It's slower, I think Restoration shows it best since it has the most optimized driving of year one. Most missions from year one if I want even a chance of tying them I have to get way more optimized on how I'm driving, positioning and ad clears. I do think quite a few of the old records are beatable but not all of them.

It's doable but quite a bit slower. Still faster than just boosting along normally like the average player does.

I'm confused, are you talking about sparrow boosting or overdrive tapping? Because those are two different things. Theres sparrow boosting, where I made a video about it along with the srl helmet in the forums, and overdrive tapping where you use the raid sparrows. So I'm kinda confused here
