Sadly no. Not that I'm making excuses (I totally am) but I just didn't have the time to invest to accomplish a better lap. There was still progress to be made I felt but achieving a faster time would have required time I simply don't have while raising a family.
I suspect most people that set times in the top 100 probably spent many hours on the track as I did. In total I probably spent about 8 hours over 4 days which is only 2 hours a day and overall probably half of that time is spent on loading screens so in roughly 4 hours of playing I managed to beat roughly 79,900 other players and got within throwing distance of 1st.
In comparison when I got good at quake 3 I spent roughly 4 hours practicing on custom maps I created at 1.3 x the normal speed and 4+ hours playing pubs online followed up by a few hours playing on LAN's.
I thought I'd get a top 20 time though because I was looking at the wrong clock. I was looking at my lap time vs my total time. Since the contest was for a fastest lap I thought lap time was the one being measured but I was incorrect, it was total time which was about a second slower since I started a few meters behind the start line.
