This 8 move DR is insane bait! There is one unfidable 14 and insanely hard 15s from that.
And this extension to 9 also sucks.
I also tried extending to
F2 R2 F2 D' B2 L //4a2 4e in 10 but no luck there either...
Got way too stuck on this and didn't therefore have any other good DRs...

Optimal from all DRs I looked at.
Had so many promising DRs this attempt including:

(B U' F' , R2 D) F2 B2 D2 L R2 D //4a1 4e in 11, 23opt
(D2 B' U' F') (R' F2 L' R2 U) //0c3 in 9, 24opt :D
And then a bunch of decent subsets in 11 or 2c4 in 10.
This ties cubelib with my settings!

Kind of bad luck that 23 is overall optimal from those 3 DRs... But that is FMC for you.

Also had:

And then million 2c4 from the 3 move EOs. So probably also like 22 in there but no way I can check all of those.

There are variations of this HTR by inverting the last move of DR and/or using the DR variation ending in D2 B2 D L instead.
So noe after DR we have:
U (R L' B2 R' L' U) //HTR 7-2/16
(B2 D2 R2 F2 L2 B2 R2 U2) //solved 8-1/23
The way I found the finish was kind of nice as well since that is hard to see. It doesn't build blocks nor can you get to FR easily. BUT there is this thing I call "pseudo FR" I have been playing around with.
Here we see that when we do (B2 D2) we get a situation where we have all D edges in FR and all U edges NOT in FR. Also it just so happens that corners are also 1 U2 away from FR. This means we have "pseudo FR". Meaning we can solve U/D layers with FR turns only and then do U2 at the end to fix things since all U edges are the ones that are not in FR yet.
So we can do:
(R2 F2 L2 B2 R2) //solve using floppy moves.
(U2) //fix floppy and it even cancels with normal.
Probably would not have seen the finnish normally but these few HTRs in 16 were the only good thing I had so I looked at them longer than I normally would (partly also because they were cool :D)

DR is 21 opt but needs 8 mobe HTR and there were TONS of 6-7 move HTRs from both variations on normal and inverse and with NISS so I didnt even have time to look at any 8 move HTRs.
Only good DRs I had. Next best I had was 2c4 in 11. And this was the last EO I checked.

Bad solve. Messed up some EOs on inverse and wasted a lot of time on that stuff.
DR is 23 opt but quite hard to find in time trouble.
