New manip discovered that allows you to make the 1st race of the grand prix have only 1 lap, saving over 5 minutes from the old route.

You do the manip by first going into exhibition mode and finding all 4 tracks kras, jungle, sewer and canyon, then setting the lap count to 1 in advanced settings. Then go to the grand prix race in adventure mode and restart the event as soon as it begins, the race will then have only 1 lap.

30:xx is realistic goal and all it would take is one clean run, sub 30 is unrealistic. If one more 30s timesave gets found that should make it doable.
