Very short map which plays like a UV-Speed. 4shockblast has a UV-Max (normal, no fast monsters) record of 0:35, but he uses a trick that is very difficult to replicate. You can watch it here:

So I decided to have a go at Spring's 0:38 UV-Fast. It took quite a few tries but I found some tactics that worked:

- The cyberdemon's first rocket seems to push you forward a bit faster in the beginning. Obviously, in UV-Fast the cybie fires immediately, so you can rely on that.
- After the first lift to the top floor, the super shotgun does the trick for all of the zombies in one shot, most of the time.
- In UV-Fast, there seems to be a higher chance of the cybie's rockets killing the pinkies downstairs. This is very helpful.
- I encountered a linedef skip in the teleporter very often. So it's necessary to slow down slightly (usually by not straferunning but facing straight forward just before entering).
- The exploding cybie may blind you (so you either fall down the platform or start running again too late by having to turn only when he's already dead)). Turn 180 degrees clockwise while he's dying and don't press forward just yet, only when you're facing the door.

I hit some walls on the way to the teleporter, so probably another second or so can be squeezed out of this (not using 4shockblast's method).

Thanks for watching.
