This is part of a project to add a difficulty level indicator aside tracks description, in order to help new users to figure how difficult is driving on a given track.
It is obvious, it's based on a combination of player's experience, as well as character's driving skill.

Send a personal messsage to Groove Champion

The clean asphalt surface of this track is uneven in a few crucial turns, namely the downward slope around the concrete blocks towards the end of the circuit (pictured in the top left area of the circuit picture). I quite enjoy this track!

An enjoyable track that favors acceleration over breakout speed - there's only one straightaway of any real length. However, the wide intermediate turns means that high speeds will be reached. It's mainly the last third of the track that should pose a moderate challenge as the track has it's major obstacle there. A steep slope immediately following a sharp turn can cause inexperienced drivers to lose too much speed or control while inattentive ones will get tripped up on the mostly harmless concrete teeth at the base of the exit slope. The slope ends in a turn that seems sharper than it is; drivers need not take it as sharply as it may seem though the hill opposite the last tooth also means that braking and/or smart turning will probably be necessary.

Should any driver crash on the last tooth, the turn doesn't change to much other than the risk of rebounds for those close to the crash. The major change is mostly to take the turn a little slower and wider than before but otherwise, it can usually be navigated with mostly the same ease.
