Daytona USA 2: Battle on the Edge - Expert with Secret Hornet Classic

Some more gameplay from Daytona USA 2 Battle on the Edge using the recently discovered Hornet secret car. Weirdly, I actually found it easier getting first place on the Expert track using the Hornet, than on the Advanced. I actually attempted the Expert track first, so I opted for automatic transmission here, whilst I way getting my head around how it handles. I mentioned in my '25 years of Daytona USA: Special Edition' video that I was trying to play it like the original Hornet in Daytona USA 1 (and the Hornet in Daytona USA 2: Power Edition) by doing the 4-2-4 gear drift, and as a result I kept losing loads of speed. I've subsequently realised, thanks to another video on YouTube, trying to play it that way doesn't work. It is it's own animal entirely and doesn't handle anything like any of the other cars in either this game or Daytona 1. Fuck me, this car is like the Shin Akuma of Daytona USA 2, once you start to understand it. With the speed, over steer and suspension all cranked up to the max, you don't actually even need to touch the brakes to initiate a drift; just turn sharply and the drift will initiate on it's own. You just need to drop down to 3rd from 4th afterwards (in most instances) so that you can accelerate away again quickly. How to access the Hornet: "Present in Battle on the Edge is a hidden "Specialist Only" Hornet car with modifiable performance. This car was originally thought to have been unused, but it has since been revealed that it can be accessed via a code on the course selection screen. Multiplayer colors are also available for the car. To unlock the Hornet, perform the following steps when starting a new game: Before starting the game, move the gear stick into first gear. At the course selection screen, move the stick into fourth gear. Finally, before selecting a course, press the view select buttons in the following order: 1, 4, 2, 4, 1, 2, 2+3 (together), and 1. If done correctly, you'll get the Hornet in place of the usual selection of cars. The car's stats can be modified using the view buttons and the steering wheel."
