This game is hilariously bad and gllitchy, but I think the infinite speed in reverse would be interesting TASd. Though you need to avoid the game thinking you've won when you start the race >_<.

And... what would the end goal be? There's already videos of infinite hyperspeed reverse on YouTube. An actual TAS run wouldn't really provide anything those videos don't already do. (Though if you can think of some way to make it interesting, you can always submit a humor run on April 1st!)
First a movie gets submitted, and ends up accepted despite breaking rules other runs have been rejected for. And when I vote less than spectacularly on this movie, I become the victim of harassment and threats. Yay, favoritism.

How to TAS this game: 1) At the start, turn the rear of the car so it's directly pointing towards the finish line 2) Hold the reverse button, keep moving in a straight line 3) A WINNER IS YOU Would probably not be interesting TAS material.

In Star trek, I killed helpless comrades in escape pods to save time. Here, I kill my allies to save time. I think I need help.

If you manage to make a published TAS for this game, you might qualify.

true. I forgot about the whole going through walls thing >_<. The idea of navigation at potentially infinite speeds screamed TAS to me, but I didn't think about how you can just point at the end and hold down.

I already thought about this ame, but i cant get it to work-.- Like mothrayas said, it would be pretty boring And you keep your horizontal speed even while going up hills so you just have to drive straight without caring about obstacles I could see an entertainment run getting published
How should I know what I think before I read what I post?

YOU'RE WINNER! seriously i think an attempt at driving the track as intended in reverse might be entertaining. MAYBE.
