the
opportunity

their
creative
legs and
design their
very own
race tracks

stylus. The
track editor
allows
players
select and
place track

corners,
long
straights,
chicanes and
even
scenery, to
their liking
to design
unique
circuits.

pieces are
placed,

take to
their track
and

exactly how
it feels in
aggressive
multiple car
races.
