Track Overviews and Strategies

Festival Circuit

This is a large 3.63-mile track set in hilly mountains, featuring a tunnel. It's essentially a large circle that incorporates a figure-eight section with a bridge and an underpass.

Strategy:

Start by accelerating gently, as the first turn approaches quickly. You'll only need to brake slightly due to your initial low speed. After this, accelerate through the short straight under an overpass. At the end of this straight, there's a left turn. Slow down a bit and take the inside line to maintain momentum, allowing for a wider arc. Following this is a short downhill straight. At its end, there's a small curve, immediately followed by a major curve. Slow down considerably and hug the inside, as there's limited space to widen your turn. You'll then encounter a short section where you can accelerate, followed by a turn where you should slow down slightly before accelerating significantly towards the tunnel. Just outside the tunnel is a medium-sized turn. You'll likely be at high speed, so take the inside and veer out to maintain momentum on this very wide turn. Next are a mild left and then a right turn; slow down a little for these, but not excessively. A long straightaway follows, leading into a mild S-turn, and then a sharp left turn that requires significant braking. Take this turn from the inside. Finally, another high-speed straightaway leads to the finish line.

Stadplatz

This track is similar in size and shape to the Festival Circuit but winds through a town and crosses over itself. It's 3.08 miles long and includes one large hill.

Strategy:

The strategy for this track differs from the Festival Circuit at the tunnel. Instead of going through it, you will skip it and go straight around. This is the only significant difference in racing line.

Club Circuit

This track resembles a large, misshapen infinity sign and includes a section where it circles inside itself. It is 2.52 miles long.

Reverse Tracks

The following tracks are simply the reverse versions of their counterparts:

• Festival Circuit Reverse: The same track as Festival Circuit, but driven in the opposite direction.
• Stadplatz Reverse: The same track as Stadplatz, but driven in the opposite direction.
• Club Circuit Reverse: The same track as Club Circuit, but driven in the opposite direction.
