it feels a bit cheap, but a lot of the current txr ai is overly cautious while cornering. a lot of them will brake hard when all they need to do is gently let off the throttle; not to mention the wanderer/boss cars have ridiculous handling so this *should* be doubly the case. there's no way to beat ユウウツな天使 with top speed, but acceleration and cornering should be enough to compete with her corner exit takeoff
honestly, i bet hard tires with short gear ratios and a 2way lsd would be enough to get around her at the jump unless there is a *long* straightaway when the race starts
