I dont think i can really help you, coz i am slower with a dive, could you explain your strat to me
i must be missing sumthin, and one other question, who are you? just curious coz your name doesnt give it away.

Hmm... there seems to be only one person with 2:02 Pal on Rainbow Road. Are you Mark Hua?
As for the dives, well you can slide of the track right at the begining and come right back with double tap R or Z (Depending on which side you took off from, don't forget to lower the front of your car on your way back)
There is also the mini-dive after the harpin like you said.
Hope it helps ^^

yup tried that, i have serious trouble landing! wherebouts i land?
as for my strat, its kinda str8 forward, ordinary dive (stay as tight to track as possible) slide right (going wide at the end to maximise speed) then slide left around that long spiral kinda thing (staying tight to wall) then go into hairpin wide to come off at high speed, think im around 0.3 or 0.4 secs ahead of comp) then slide into refiller pits staying close to wall at all tyms)
and 2/3 laps i just boost twice on first turn, twice on long spiral thingy, once on hair pin, once on turn after that and boost slide after first strip of refillers
so as for mini dive i just go of the course and come back on? if it helps my ntsc tym is 1'42"483

Where you do the dive at the begining it is hard to land without falling off the track right after. Of course you can try Air Control into Double Tap Dive as well if you want. Might be harder to do but it's easier to land in my opinion.
And the spots where you boost are quite good if you ask me. That's prertty much where I boost. ^^

My regular no special is 1'39"8 NTSC with dives i go about 6 seconds faster.
you just have to use the super fast DTD's if you want sub 2 min. guess its easy to be said than done.
the strat i used is the same as my clip but instead no DTD's, just hold up and turn off the side of the track heh
but with dive added i get 1'52 PAL
PAL
these are my results but nothing too good or special heh
at least it sub 2 min
00'44"164
00'38"120
00'37"503
01'59"787
usually i focus on the opener more but most of the time i go all out on 2nd and 3rd laps.
well cya around
