LS Speed Challenge Loop

Hey welcome back to this week’s Track, and well… this situation for the next week is difficult, because I’m quite busy for the Civil Servant Exam next Sunday, and then doing another Tryout for that on Tuesday. Moreover, I unknowingly walked into two assignments from two different Workshops because I didn’t know that Homeworks piggybacked Workshops, so… yeah, next week is going to be a busy and potentially stressful one. So as a heads up, there’s not gonna be any post for a week, so Fanfic Recs in next week and the next track is possibly delayed as well.

On the bright side however, the track for this week is quite a simple one, so it’s a perfect timing for me to get something chill through these hard times. Now introducing LS Speed Challenge. This track’s idea is pretty simple, came from uniting the widest and longest roads in Los Santos and uniting into a single fast non-Highway Loop, well, almost perfectly because there’s a bit of surprise somewhere. They consist of Rockford Drive, Dutch London Street, El Rancho Boulevard, Mirror Park Boulevard, Vinewood Boulevard, and finally Eclipse Boulevard. This may not be deadly as Nevada Highway, and you feel like this is better off to be inspired more by Highway Battle in NFS Undercover rather than Speed Challenge in NFS Prostreet, but this track is still a good test for speed with some skills sprinkled in from the bumps and such, and any loss of speed is costly here. Pitlane is through Morningwood Boulevard. Although I realized that I forgot about Pizzamoz Zarella and I guess that track is saved for next week instead. Anyway, after that, the track will be Malaria 69 which somehow didn’t make it to the original batch.

The car to be used here is a Turquoise Buccaneer with the license plate ROBADA, in clear reference t the ‘Speed King’, Nate Denver.

“Don’t worry, this is not the infamous Robada Highway, where the road is so narrow, and you feel claustrophobic enough around these rocks that it scared you into crashing. However, despite the Los Santos Speed Challenge is a lot wider, bumps still exists, and now we get rolling roadblocks in form of traffic. And remember, any loss of speed on this track is very costly, as there’s not many corners where you can catch up on your own. Pitlane is through Morningwood.”

The track started at the crossing from North to South Rockford. After that, the first fast part is the “Shark Marina Corridor” into Dutch London, in which Dutch London also features a corridor on its own, the “Puerta Interchange” where this is the narrowest part of the track and change of crashing into traffic is higher. The next part to be careful of is the “Europort Drift” lefthander followed by the “El Rancho Hill” crossing Elysian Fields Freeway. The “Mirror Park” Section is also to be careful of, with kerbs around as well as more traffics and poles than anywhere else. This is followed by the “Scramject Dam” corner into “Vinewood Boulevard”, where the most intense of traffic are around. Another problem is the section known as “Eclipse Knives” where the drop of elevation is particularly dangerous with traffic around. Then there’s the “Playboy Swing” which is a lefthander filled with poles and generators. Before we’re going to the final corner, the only Chicane here with tight shortest route, the “Morningwood Slope” Alhough the North Rockford Section of “Z-Type Drops” are not to be slouch at as you can lost control here.
