Dropping claim...
Unable to figure out how to precisely represent Time, Time Left or Speed.

Time: 1 = 0.04s, 25 = 1s, 250 = 10s, etc.
Time Left and Speed are 16-bit values multiplied by 25.6, i.e. 0x467 (1127) displays 44, because 1127 / 25.6 = 44.02, but 0x466 displays 43, because 1126 / 25.6 = 43.98.

Ah I think I see what my main issue was, I was frame advancing and the displayed times don't seem to match up very closely during that but if you pause the game normally then they always seem to match (At least when checking test RP). Your math lines up pretty much perfectly when using in game pause for everything.

For now I've made a leaderboard and RP but already grabbed another VB set so I'll leave this one open for someone else to do given the limited library.

Ideas I had initially for the set were mostly challenges since the game is only one level which takes a little over 2 minutes.

Beat the game
Beat the game in under X time
Beat the game without crashing or alternatively without dropping below a speed of X
Reach top speed of 215
Maintain a speed over X for Y seconds
