Yanar Mountains Rally

Nikki: Welcome! ... wait, this isn't the usual update time, is it?

Leech: Well, school was canceled and I already had the pictures, so here's Episode 49 ¾. No story for this one, that's coming at the regularly scheduled time.

Nikki: Oh.

Nick: The Yanar Mountains Rally is a part of the Sim City Rally Association, and what is shown here is only stage 1 of the rally.

Nikki: It starts out in the commercial area of Lamranu, weaves though there a bit, before a right turn onto a nice long straightaway.

Nick: Watch out for the bend in the middle, then watch out for the hairpin turn at the end of the second part of the straightaway.

Nikki: No cutting corners allowed there, the park is in the way.

Nick: Then its back into the commercial area with some more weaving though the area, then its onto M-3.

Nikki: Backwards.

Nick: However, the traffic will be temporarily rerouted, so there's no danger of a head on collision... at least not between racers and regular drivers, that is.

Nikki: Then a quick turnaround to go back to the exit that they got on at, and a left turn to the north.

Nick: Another straightaway though the rest of town and past a farm, then there's another left turn, this time onto dirt.

Nikki: Aside from the hairpin turn right after the start of the dirt section, it is relatively straight as it makes its way around the farm.

Nick: At least until it leaves the edge of the farm, then it swerves though the forest, allowing plenty of opportunities to end up going sideways.

Nikki: After a little ways of this, it makes it back to asphalt, and a right turn leads into another long straightaway.

Nick: With a dogleg in it.

Nikki: Then it begins to get hilly.

Nick: The road then begins to snake up the mountain.

Nikki: There is another short, bent, straightaway in there, though, before it has to curve around again.

Nick: Then after a right at the skyscraper... skyscraper? Anyway, after that right, which is followed by another, there's a left turn onto dirt again.

Nikki: Unlike the first dirt section, its curvy all the way though before ending up on asphalt again.

Nick: But only for a little bit, after the right turn back onto the road, theres a quick left back into the dirt, and around a farm.

Nikki: Slightly quicker here, just watch out for the hairpin turns thrown in.

Nick: Then another right onto the road, and a straightaway though the intersection.

Nikki: Then a right into the town, and the finish life for stage 1.

Nick: The parking lot is where the racers will prepare for stage 2, which starts at the same place stage 1 ends.

Nikki: It starts out heading back up to the main road, then left.

Nick: However, instead of heading straight though the intersection, stage 2 turns right to the north, farther into the mountains.

Nikki: However, that is for another time, stage 2's route is still being decided on.

Nick: And the overview of the rest of stage 1, after the track shown in the first picture.

Comments will come in the next update.
