Alright, maybe the most awaited cut idea of TM Nadeo TAS finally became a reality :P
The original idea was posted by Jordy on the Trackmania TAS Discord in June: https://i.imgur.com/EWvAgIL.png
Since then, a lot of tasers gave it a try, but the conditions to match are so precise that it made most of the people give up, or think it was impossible...

But not us.

The uber needed for this idea to work had to be:
a) a very fast uber
b) hit the top of the bluewall block to redirect and keep the line very low
c) get the correct amount of rotation from the same hit to be able to land on your nose early enough

Of course standard bruteforce couldn't help with getting all these conditions at the same time, so I made a small discord group with Na'Guul, Shweetz and Alex B and explained them my idea of a custom bruteforcing script that could be helpful.
After discussing and improving my initial idea, Na'Guul programmed a beautiful script to find low and fast ubers.
After preparing 58 different base runs, finding 35 low ubers with the script, and trying to manually adjust them one by one to get the right rotation, I finally found the nosebug setup and added the noseboost.

At this point we knew we had it, but we still needed the rest of the run to be worthy of A01 TAS WR :P
So me and Na'Guul continued working on it for one entire day to reach the CP in a nosebug fiesta, and we were ready to get a gs launch to the ring.
But then we quickly found out that gs launch on platform is not even close to be as powerful as on grass, and could give us a maximum height of 3 blocks... and we needed 10.
By using the ramp normally we would have needed to slow down from 1000 km/h to 550 km/h to avoid overjumping the finish, but imagine slowing down in A01 TAS.
We definitely had to find a way to hit the top of the ring to lower the trajectory, and after trying a million different strategies we came up with this jump from the top of the bluewalls on the side and found this magic ring hit that made us land very early and in nose position on the next platform, to be able to noseboost again and zoom into the finish line with 983 km/h.

All in all, a solid -5.44 (22,8%) improvement in one of the simplest Nadeo Campaign tracks (:

never give up
