Cheesing the Historic Rome GT40 with 142hp Mini (Gran Turismo 2)

Something different this time around, as I revisit the infamous Historic Car Cup race 2 at Rome against the GT40. A few of us were chatting about this race on Discord, and someone jokingly suggested to win using the Mini 1.3. While this race is near-impossible to win by driving normally, it becomes a lot easier with some less-than-respectful racing techniques, hence the video title. Gear setup is similar to the one used for the Beat and Elise in prior challenges: 1st and 2nd gear are sacrificed for closer gears from 3rd to 5th. Its torque curve falls off heavily after 7000 RPM, so it needed to be short-shifted. The car felt mostly fine over bumps with 15.0 rear springs, though some care was needed to not lose grip. Everything else is pretty standard. Music used: Xth Avenue - Yuto Takei Theme of Balrog - Hideyuki Fukasawa (from Street Fighter IV) Journey To The One - MAKOTO I played NTSC-U GT2 on DuckStation with 60 FPS, 16:9 and metric conversion codes.
