Track Overview 5
This is the view from the far step-up, looking back toward the rostrum
The Main Straight
This is the start/finish straight and the fastest part of the track.
The Big Berm
Located at the end of the main straight, this is a huge feature and allows you to carry a lot of speed.
The Triple
Immediately after the berm, can either be done as a triple jump or double then single.
The Step-Up
The furthest point from the drivers, show this feature respect or you'll be off the back!
The Big Double
This feature comes immediately after a tight 'Z' section, if your car can't accelerate well you won't make this spectacular jump.
The Mini Double
A quick blip of the throttle should see you safely over this one, but be careful of the 90 degree turn straight after.
The Washboard
Also known as the 'whoops'. This really sorts the men from the boys, the boys will limp over each bump but the men do it as two doubles :-)
The U Bend
Very tight turn back on yourself, can be very slippy in the wet here
The Spine Approach
At this corner you need to assess the other cars and decide how to do the spine.
The Spine
This is a big feature with two distinct ways of tackling it, either launch of it and land hard, or brake just before the summit, landing quickly on the other side throttling hard.
The Small Berm
Hit this right and you will end with a perfect line to get apex right on the last step up, do it wrong and you will lose time or worse end up in the car park.
The Mini Step-Up
If you get this right you can fly, the best can take this with no brakes.
The Bombhole
You can't plant the loud pedal for the straight until you have negotiated this, be brave here!
