I mean, I have the game guide from prima games and there's written that you start with 55 seconds on the clock and gain +5 seconds for each gate you pass.

I can't complete the mission with only 21 seconds to begin with. The timer runs out somewhere in the middle of the course. And the controls are clumsy...
