[TAS] E01-Obstacle in 23.10 (-20.47) by JaV & igntuL & ins

RTA World Record: 43.57 by Hefest
Previous TAS World Record: 40.62 by JaV

After seeing the huge potential that noseboost opened on the Trackmania TAS world, I finally decided it was time to get serious with it, instead of only using it only to improve the last 2 seconds of a run :P
And what better map to experiment on than E01, with its wonderful 600 kmh setup quickly after start, and the long way coming after that.
I've drawn lots of ideas and plans, got the noseboost and started experimenting.

I quickly realized how much work this TAS was gonna be, so I hit JaV and ins up, asking for help with playing around with nosebugs combos to find some useful ones.
After the first day we had the two bug-CPs, on second day we found our way to get the gs launch that went through the rings, and we got the finish first with the quarterpipe bounce, and then with the pole uber strategy.

But we weren't satisfied.

We knew the angle for the direct flight towards the finish road existed for sure, but it was so narrow and we needed a very specific spot to take off to even attempt it.
After hours of attempts ins managed to find a gs launch setup on the perfect spot, and after more hours of bruteforcing and tweaking it, JaV finally found the pixel perfect ring-hit into bugfinish.

This TAS took about 42 hours of almost non-stop working (JaV is from NZL so he was awake while me and ins were sleeping, and vice versa :P)

It was a long ride but needless to say we are very happy with the result :)

As of today, this is the Nadeo TAS with the biggest percentage of RTA WR shaved off, with an incredible 47%.
