Fatal Racing - Premier Cup

Premier Cup

The Reaper This course is packed to the gills with jumps. Similar to Tsunami Twister, a lot of competitors end up getting eliminated due to taking damage at the multitude of dangerous jumps and getting taken out by more healthy opponents at the fast final section. Widest, but one of the longest. The pit area is located on the seventh turn, off to the right (and like Tsunami Twister), it is very narrow and short. This course is one of the few courses where destroying all the competitors before going the full race distance is possible, but it is extremely rare.

Free Fall has a course shape similar to Gateway, except there is a huge "forked" curl which merges into a single road about midway into it. This track feature is basically a loop with a corkscrew at the top. It is not possible to fall off, but the sharp downhill bank may require some braking to avoid a collision with the wall. The course also features a small jump that is bugged and may sometimes cause the car to drop like a stone and crash into the ravine. This course features four turns, not including the loop.

The Crab has a completely unique feature, making a half loop before leading into a barrel rolling drop which may sometimes cause cars to land on their roof provided they go too fast or going too far off to the left of the track. the pits are located just before the starting line to the right, and due to its dangerous location and lack of a dividing wall make for some nasty side-on collisions. Driving this track in the reverse direction straight to the half-loop will cause a divide-by-zero-jump, which, if jumping too high, can crash the game, but otherwise fatalities, especially the less durable cars, instantly on hitting ground.

The Switchback utilizes 2 corkscrews and a balcony on a lower part of the circuit, which can cause cars to fall off at the end of the lap and end up on the track below back at the start of the lap. One of the longest tracks, it takes about 45 to 50 seconds to lap the circuit. The pits are located off the left after the first corkscrew. Though it seems like falling off the balcony near the end of the lap is a bad idea, it can shave off valuable time and seconds on the final lap because the finish line is below. Colliding with the balcony wall from below may cause a divide-by-zero jump, sending the car miles into the air; computer opponents occasionally make this fatal mistake.

Fly By is a figure of eight which has a similar jump to Tsunami Twister in the middle of it after the first turn. It also features a fork with gaps in the middle and along the sides, similar to what can be encountered in The Bridge. This course is nowhere nearly as difficult as its Gremlin Cup counterpart Tsunami Twister due to the track being far wider in many areas, and is also easier to make a pit stop on. Here, the pits are before the first of four turns. Note that the manual mentions two twister jumps, even though there is only one such jump; the second jump seems to have been replaced with a narrow catwalk.

The Coffin Run is a circuit which features a corkscrew followed up by a small jump as well as several narrow bends. The start of this course is the same as the Bridge, except it is much more extreme. After that section comes an area with a left-hander which leads into a long right-hand turn with 'pinball walls' that bounce cars away at high speed, occasionally leading to a disastrous series of bounces back and forth. The pits are located off to the left on the starting grid.

Devil's Hairpin is a circuit which features a small balcony where it is possible to land on another part of the course, and end up falling behind in the process. This course consists of two ovals side by side, with the first oval leading to a fall-off section above the starting line and the second oval going back down. Falling off returns you to the start of the lap. The pit lane is located to the left along the starting line. The long straights, very long and wide pitlane and lack of difficult obstacles make this one of the easier tracks to survive.

Nemesis shares similarities to Gateway, but are now taken to a much higher extreme. The large jump of Gateway's is now gone, but the zigzag section is now a series of angled bumps which can cause a car to flip if taken wrong.

Famous quotes containing the word cup:

    In poorer lands
    No one touches the water of life.
    It has no taste
    And though it refreshes absolutely
    It is a cup that must also pass
    Until everybody
    Gets some advantage....
    John Ashbery (b. 1927)
