Emulator Settings

I use similar settings for GT1 and GT2:

There's so many settings in DuckStation and throughout the PC platform. We probably can't compare times from one emulated game to another.

I use the pre-patched A-Spec v1.2 from their Discord to ensure compatibility.

About the recording:

Windows Capture via Game Bar Win+G then Win+Alt+R.
Monitor is 2560x1440 @ 144Hz in Windows so Capture is set to "Standard" quality and "30fps" with RegEdit changes for 720p 4000kbps target. (2GB per hour.)
Uploaded the resulting MP4 from "Videos\Captures" folder to YouTube.
GT2 USA v1.1 running in DuckStation with lots of custom config, including the GT Hi-Fi cheat code for 60fps.
Camera in Options: "Chase 2" with "Standard" view angle.
Xbox 1 Wireless Controller over BlueTooth. RC car controls: Left stick steering with right stick throttle and shoulder button (L1 R1) gear change, set as a "NeGcon" in DuckStation to reduce deadzone.
