^^i beg to differ. i don't use the shortcut that comes before the truck. the thing is, u have to mow down too many trees and fences if u take the short cut. this causes a waste of time.
i agree, u mustn't go from front of the truck unless u have amazing control over the car. example if u use m3, u can easily go from front of the truck.
also, if u hope to break napster007's or my time, u'll have to tune the car and also get a perfect launch. a pefect launch will shave off a couple of (very valuable) seconds
