I haven't until yesterday even attempted to beat ZICO, mainly because of the total inconsistent ability to pull off a barrel roll let alone string a few together in one lap.

I've read most if not all of other peoples ways of tackling this challenge,some have done it with 4,3 or two B/R's.

So I thought I'd go into the records and have a look at the global times of Speed lap-Venom, and see how many speed pads that out of the 501 people to date that have used Pirahna, and bettered or equaled ZICO's time, had hit.

Now the strange bit.
I've counted the max number of possible speed pads that you could possibly hit,including the early jump off the overpass,at 17 S/Pads.
1]First 1 at the start
2]You can hit 3 going around the first left
3]The 3 in a row down the straight
4]The 3 between the straight at the sharp left
5]You can hit 2 while turning at the sharp left
6]You have 4 on the overpass.
7] Lastly 1 the early overpass jump off.
Total 17

According to the global records,the average S/Pads hit is 14 the minimum is 12 and then this..at global position 257th at a time of 30.75 neozeo with wait for it ...S/Pads hit..18.
The next highest number hit is 16.

Could somebody have cracked WOHD and invented a cheat?
Is there a explanation to this that I have missed?

It all seems rather strange to me.
I would like to hear what the rest of the forum members might have to say about this abnormally.
