The time trial rules would apply so any cutting corners would void the result from being sent We could do that on the wiki but that is basically just the fastest time (as that would give the highest average speed). I'm sure there is a good idea in this, just not sure how it would work.

I don't know if highest average speed necessarily equates to the fastest time. On Furai Rising 8.2, on one run I beat the time ME7 set by almost a second, but did not reach the average speed required. Discounting the possibility that the event is fiddled in some way, one explanation would be that I covered a shorter distance in a shorter time, giving a lower average speed. This could be due to not using the absolute limits of the track like ME7 does. I was suprised it would make that much difference though.

Or is there some rounding issue when using mph vs kph? That could also explain it.
