Once you’re on our track, you’ll be speeding around tight bends, chicanes and hair-pins, zooming across straights and maybe flying high across our fly-overs. On each of our experiences, you’ll be sharing the track with other drivers- high speed thrills like this are no fun if you aren’t zooming past other drivers!
