CTR - Hot Air Skyway - 24.25 lap

Played on NTSC-U 16:9 mod on Duckstation emulator.
Save state on the start of lap3, entire lap3 is played in real-time.
Wanted to see what the USF hype was all about so I practiced a little and got this nice lap. Funny how it's only like 1.5sec away from TAS lol.
Song used:
Crush 40 - I Am... All Of Me

Holy god damn. It's been a long time since I kept up with this game, but I heard Hypnoshark say something recently about turn characters having an advantage on this track. What's happening here exactly?

[@MatteoKysely]

speed can't hold USF because of the last hairpin.
turn and max stat characters can keep USF.
for single lap WRs, turn/max stat characters are better
for full course WRs, speed characters are optimal, because you skip the USF pad altogether.
