Somerset Dirt-Racing Track was the first racing circuit to be used after the solar apocalypse. Historian Markus Korivak refers to it as he describes the first deathrace, in the summer of 2035: "The violent, the greedy, and the desperate found cars that still ran and guns that still fired and met in the dry river bed outside of Somerset and raced from one end to the other, blasting away the whole distance. And we stood along the edge of the old riverbanks and watched them. And, as much as I was ashamed of it at the time, we cheered. We called out for blood and applauded enthusiastically when it was delivered."
(1) Start/Finish Hill
This fast downhill straight is difficult to take well. It is easy to spin your car, or - worse - to get tipped into the right-hand finishing post by the severely pitched track.
(2) Uphill Straight
This is where a lot of passing maneuvers happen, since the speed you managed to carry through the previous corner has a large effect on how fast you can get up this reasonably steep hill.
(3) Pit #1
The most difficult thing about this pit is that it causes a dangerous choke-point as all cars try to use the narrow road section to its left; many collisions happen here.
(4) Big Bump and Pit #2
This section looks fairly inocuous from the air, but get down low and you will see the wicked bump that lies across almost the whole width of the track. Taking this fast section right, without landing in the pit or rolling after your 90mph+ jump, can often be the difference between winning and losing.

The most experienced drivers attempt to minimise their airtime and land straight into a fast powerslide on the wide corner following. It is virtually impossible to get through this section at high speed without losing some front armour.


(5) Back Straight
The longest straight section on the circuit is fairly flat and level. The small rocky hill that juts out of the track towards the end of the straight is rarely a problem, unless you have made a serious mistake on the previous corner and failed to adjust your line.
(6) Hilltop Corner
Another section that looks easy from the air but is actually very treacherous when taken at racing speeds of 110mph+. A sudden drop followed by a steep, bumpy rise culminating in a hilltop corner is not easy to master. Just as you need to turn hard, you often find your wheels have just left the ground and you can't get any traction.

Take it wrong and you jump and roll or simply slide into the concete barrier on the right. Oversteer and you are into the rocks on the left.

Get it right, and you can point your nose 10 degrees into the apex and powerslide your way right into the finishing straight at speeds in excess of 100mph.
