Hao’s Eclipse Redux

Okay, because I have a family gathering today, I think I get a great timing to go for something simple this time. So, what is it? A combination and remake of two of the tracks from the original Street Races in GTA V Single Player, South Los Santos and Airport Circuits. From there, the track Hao’s Eclipse Redux came from. Eclipse here is an obvious reference to Mitsubishi Eclipse, which is the car the Penumbra is based on. Yes, this track is quite simple and it’s also one of my earlier ones, and I admit that I feel it’s a bit too late for me to brought this up before I realize that this is a really nice track despite the simplicity. So about the track, this is based on the combination of those two circuit, but after that, it get butchered and made to be more complicated to give an entirely new experience. The Pitlane is meanwhile at the Arena’s Parking Area, while the route continues through Autopia. The next track will be Hillcrest Ridge – Azure Crimson.

Now the car here is of course, an orange Penumbra, which is Hao’s car and I feel that this car is always perfect on orange. Also, the License Plate is HAO HAO, which is a bit of a play on Chinese for Hello, Ni Hao.

“Remember Hao? Well, of course you don’t, you rarely go to the LS Customs at the Airport and instead busying yourself in getting fancy with the Benny’s or griefing any car meet shows up at Burton. Anyway, after years of disappearance, Hao returns with a challenge of a track around the South Central and Airport Area, so get there and beat that outrunning Penumbra… Don’t worry, it’s not the Quicker Penumbra of the Project Homecoming Fame. Pit lane is at the Arena’s Parking”

This track is started on the narrow Forum Drive, so be careful. After that, you’re immediately faced by the Twin Corners of “CoTM” and “Taco Farmer”, before going to a dash through Davis that ends in the “Panache” Hairpin. This is followed by the Little Bighorn section that ends at infamously bumpy “Mere Taco” followed by the “Rustic Rails”. Now you have the Roy Lowestein section, which has the Outrun Hairpin near the Impound which could end badly if there’s a train around. This Section continues at the “Follow the Train” followed by the righthander of “Unity”. This continues into a dash into “Northwestern Interchange” before going to the Upper-Lower Loop of the Airport. This ends in a very scary chicane of “Opium Nights” that gone to the “Rocoto” Turn before going into Autopia. After a not-so-simple “Utopia Bridge” back to South Central and eventually back to Grove Street. This ends at the Cul-de-Sac Hairpin into an alleyway, before ending at the last difficult part of the track, “Verdant Sabre” Chicane.
