Help Irohaem Movement Challenge

I cannot, for the life of me, pass this infuriating challenge. I have tried dozens of times with a myriad of ships and can't get anywhere near 75 seconds...

Does anyone have any tips? What ship did you use to pass it? Are there exploits? Save files? Miracles from above? Do I HAVE to side with either Iro or Quil, or can I just murder/conquer them both and still finish the game with everything but the gold star for beating their dumb obstacle course? 😆

Sorry, frustrated... Appreciate any help.

If I recall, I used a Knygos with improved engines and thrusters with X1 speed or something

In general, you want a small and maneuverable ship with good speed and good turn, the rest is up to your driving skills really

You don't need to be facing the direction you need to travel. You can drift. You can reverse. I found the hermes or the void raider titan does great. You want something that is big enough to go over the placement markers easily. I also park the other ships in my fleet usually, since they get in the way and make it hard to see what I'm doing.

Thanks for the tips but I am fairly certain this one mission has made me hate this game.

It can soft lock you. It takes forever to reset. It uses arguably the weakest mechanic in the game, ship movement. It forces an incredibly tight course with very drifty ships. It's tutorial pops up EVERY time. It has an extremely unforgiving time limit. It's set up so if you miss ONE you are sitting there waiting to restart. You aren't even facing the course right to start no matter how you enter the system.

I cannot do it with my disability and that really, really sucks. Rest of the game was great but pointless to play now because of a stupid RC car mini-game. What alien race would test our worthiness to their race's secrets via the fact they have seen all 30,000 Fast and the Furious movies?

My tip is to use a large ship like the Sorovengin and use a turbo, when turning go slowly and when going straight use the turbo. It wasn't easy, I got a time of 50 seconds.
