This closed-circuit speedway is a little bit different from the open-road courses in that you’ll get a chance to learn every inch of track intimately as you power through each lap. The high-banked turns make for intense metal-on-metal racing. The challenge is to consistently pick the best line if you want to bring in the best time.
