Most of the TAS is clipping out of bounds and driving around in a circle.

nymx: Dropping. I can't get this to run.

feos: Hello TheTASofBlazingmo6 and welcome to TASVideos!
It's great to see you're interested in TASing! However to be published on our site, your movie will need to meet our MovieRules, which include optimality requirements:
If you're aiming for speed, your submission must match or beat all known records. Check places such as YouTube, NicoVideo, and Speedrun.com for speedruns, as well as the Games section of the forums and our site Userfiles.
Specifically on SpeedRun.com, there's a bunch of per-level records in each mode , including Grand Prix this run uses. Now while they are all on the PC port, they are all faster than in your movie. I checked if it matters and replicated the Reactive Factory record on bizhawk, because its strategy was very different from yours and seemed much more optimal:
I never played this game so it took a few hundred rerecords to replicate the clip, but then after learning how to brake I saved 1 second over the human record in that level. It makes it clear that the engine is largely the same and the RTA strats should be reused or improved to make a decently optimized TAS. People in the submission thread provided some useful tips too.
Rejecting for sub-optimality, but better luck next time!
