Smoldering Sprint Challenge: Gold

I'm convinced these aren't tested whatsoever. What a joke.

I failed this one for hours upon hours before I finally made it.

Tactic:
Surge forward once at the start, then use the bare minimum to keep yourself above 920% speed until you have a full energy bar.
Use the full energy bar to speed forth until you are out of energy again, then just keep yourself above 920% speed the rest of the way.
If you are a small race (I'm Vulpera), use something like the Gamon toy to become a big race for the bigger hitbox so you can go further below a circle to maintain speed and still hit the circle. This one was the one that allowed me to cut down the last minute and half I was lacking.

LOL same, this one is insanely hard. I've tried SEVERAL different things for about an hour and cannot get anything higher than bronze.
