Author's notes

Introduction

I like Porsches. My favourite is the 911 (996) Turbo. I used to play this game back then on the PC, which is a vastly different (better) port than the PSX one.

This movie runs the "test driver" career that brings you from junior / delivery driver to professional test driver. It consists of 12 circuits.

Emulator

  • EmuHawk 2.9.1 (Core: Nymashock)

Routing Bot

None. This is a manual TAS.

Strategy

The time limits for every circuit are so lax for a TAS that I can often run over cones or incur penalties without consequences. In race 10 I take a small hit against the fence, but this seems actually optimal since I couldn't drive around it any faster without slowing down considerably.
