Mario`s Warehouse : This is a short
track but has lots to offer. It is fast and has many parts which are
hard to
do correctly. Not much to see around the track but you don't get much time to do
some site seeing. I think
this is a good track to practice on as you can
never do the same lap time twice. My fastest time was 32.9 seconds
and this
was in a set of 10 laps which varied between 46+ seconds to low 34 seconds.
Pic 1 : The Start
Hold on for a fast and wild ride!
Pic 2 :
The first turn
You may think that going straight for the ramp
on the right is the best way.
I thought that for the first 50 or so
laps until I had a closer look. My first idea was
to aim for the
black line that leads to the ramp that you would think to take.
Go
wide here and look for the ramp closest to the wall.
Pic 3 :
The ramp !
This here is the best way (I
think) of going into this section. The Toyeca shows where
I aim for.
I enter at the bottom and then turn round to the right going for as long
as
possible on this ramp. I take the line shown by the blue dashes.
Pic 4 : Ramps !!
This shows the
various ramps here.
Pic 5 : Over the Ramps
Try to keep in the middle here as the sides
have repo areas if you hit
the cubes in the wall on the left.
Pic 6 : The repo
If you go too close the
the left wall and hit this cube you will get repo`ed.
Pic 7 :
Hope and pray here as I just try to stay in
the middle.
Pic 8 : Reverse View
This is the reverse view of the last of the
ramps. I have not yet
gone through this area twice the same way. Just
try to keep your
speed up.
Pic 9 : Long Turn
Do not go too wide here, I think I got repo`ed
on the far right once. Try not to
turn too wide as you will need
every mph for the next ramp.
Pic 10 : Up Turn on Metal
Ramp
This is a blind turn as you get near
this ramp. When you get used to this
then you can turn as you go up
the ramp, and bounce off the right side a little,
but do not wall rub
as you will slow down too much.
Pic 11 :
An easy bit at last!
Pic 12 :
Here its easy just to go wide and try to get
through the next section. This will
not work. You need to turn hard
to the left and end up on the left side of the ramp
going just below
top speed. If you come off the edge pointing to the left you will
end
up in a mess and a repo. Go to the right side and you will hit either of
the two
girders or the nasty trap just to the right of the first
girder. you must jump off the
edge going as straight as possible
and just below top speed.
Pic 13 :
This is the nasty trap you
will hit if you go on the right side
Pic 14 : Reverse view
of the steps.
There are two routes you can
take. The blue is a wall rubbing one and the
green one is a hard
right turn and then a longer straighter turn out of it.
Pic 15 :
If you go too fast the back of you car will
hit the edge of a couple of
the steps. This will knock the back end
of your car up so you will be pointing downwards.
Pic 16 :
Top view of the next area.
Pic 17 : More things to hit
Try not to go too wide here as you will hit
the girders on the left.
You need to slow down just enough to avoid
them but not so much you slow down.
Pic 18 : Two ramps one
wood one metal.
Go up this ramp as shown
but you need to make sure you can jump over
the right edge of the
metal ramp.
Pic 19 : Two more ramps ahead.
You need to leave the second ramp on the far
left side as these two ramps
are not aligned.
Pic 20 : U turn
I do this in one
of 2 ways. This first way is to aim for the middle back wall and
turn
just before I leave the ramp. This then makes you car hit the wall in a
glancing
hit. Then you will either miss the last wall on the left or
you will hit it slightly.
Or as you land turn hard until you can
navigate out of the U turn.
Pic 21 :
At first I went up the middle of the ramp and
jump off the next one. I did this
until I saw the space on the right
side of the ramp. Aim for the right hand side at the
end of this
metal ramp.
Pic 22 :
Follow
the blue lines here and go as straight as you can. You will find out
why soon enough.
Pic 23 : Land here
Hopefully you should just miss the ramp on the
left and the mound on the right.
Pic 24 : Last ramp.
This ramp has a stop on it which will stop
your car as you go down it.
Or you may get it just wrong so as you
land you land with you rear wheels
on the ramp which will mess you
up.

This is another place where you will
get a repo. Stay away from this corner by
turning not too hard
towards the start finish bridge.
