It is a double-sized track, making it extra long.
I quite dislike the graphics: they reuse the default graphics, and everything being green the track looks very bland.
The main track layout isn’t anything special either, except that this is not a plain Lego: looping instances were added. Unfortunately, they aren’t very smooth, which makes them rather inconsistent. It is not caused by me using a slow car, as I tried the track with Toyeca as well and had a similar experience: sometimes you go through the looping fine, and other times you get stuck on seemingly nothing.
The AI works pretty well with the loopings, I’ve got to say. For the rest of the track though, the default track editor export AI seems to have been retained, which is quite bad for double-sized Lego tracks (the cars drive too carefully). Moreover, the AI always takes the loopings, even the ones that can obviously be skipped. Interestingly, even the double loopings, that cannot obviously be skipped, can be easily skipped. In my video, I attempted to take all loopings in the first lap, skipped most in the second lap, and skipped all in the third lap. It can be a fun challenge to try to skip the looping but still take the speed-up, which is possible on some of the single loopings.
This track might be worth a play for the novelty of the loopings, but it really doesn’t hold up for more races. The graphics are poor, the race is long and not challenging, and the main gimmick of the track can be completely avoided.
