Assuming rust or other systems language. Linked lists are optimal for head access; not random access. For random access, yes a vector would be better.

I hear you but... I myself, would not be trying to ride the best line, and hit every apex on a descent that I'm not intimately familiar with. I'd take it slow, and exercise caution until I am intimately familiar with the entire ro
