Test Drive the Track

Below are 5 images of track. Each section is to the right of the previous section from the perspective of the racer. Described below the images is how the track runs. Since there's so much back and forth on the track, the test drive will reference the images by number.

Section 1

Section 2

Section 3

Section 4

Section 5

OK. Remember there is a lot of back and forth, so just follow along. I'll start from the beginning of the main straight. It simply runs in the bottom section of track from Section 1 all the way to Section 5. At the end of the straight is a nice easy curve seen in Section 5. There's a chicane at the end that get you in the blue lane if you exit too hot. Then into another long straight that runs almost the entire length of the table from Section 5 back to Section 1. You see where it passes under the overpass in Section 3, over cobblestone tracks in Section 2, and finally into a hairpin in Section 1. And now we start back across the table again. Section 2 is where you hit one side of the 8-lane chicane. Section 3 takes you under the overpass again, and quickly into the S-curves in Section 4. You need you car to stay on track at decent speed here, which can be tricky to do since you loose site of your car until it clears the overpass. But you have to slow down while you can't see it, or you may hit the S's too fast. Once through there, there's a big hook that takes you into the bridge in Section 5. The yellow lane has it very tight at the curve exit there. Up and over (like it's that easy) and onto the overpass in Section 4, down the overpass in Section 3, and then short descending straight in Section 2. This takes you into the big horseshoe in Section 1 (the middle tracks). Quickly you're back in the chicanes in Section 2 (the outer section of the 8-lane chicane). SLOW DOWN when entering Section 3. Your eyes and trigger finger may want to keep going straight, but as you can see, that will put you in the wall. The yellow lane has it tough again with the tightest line in the hairpin. You're almost done as you hit the far straight in Section 2, then into the final corners in Section 1... and it starts all over again! Hopefully you can do that more than 10 times in 3 minutes. If you can, you've got a good shot at the finals. Good luck!
