Canyon Race Track


The Canyon track is the fastest and most wide open of all the Redline tracks. It features gentler turns and bigger straight-a-ways than most of Redline's tracks and is a joy to race on. No wonder it became the favorite track of the Redline beta testers.

Turn By Turn Walkthrough:

1. Your first real turn is one of the sharpest of the entire track, on lap one is a fairly easy turn and depending on which car you are in you can successfully slide around this turn at 100MPH. After lap one this turn gets far more interesting. See those rocks? They'll probably get in your way soon enough. After lap 1 its best to approach this turn with caution so you can try to avoid rocks sitting in the middle of the road.

Watch out for those rocks!

One interesting tactic that you can try is to now slow down on this turn. If you ram the pillars keeping you out of that tunnel you can force your car around the turn at nearly top speed. But you do have to be careful not to flip or lose speed later on because you are in too high a gear.

2. Turn two is another sharp turn to the left. This one is fairly simple though, no rocks to get you stuck. Just judge your speed and power around this turn.

3. Turn three starts out as a nice gentle left turn, but watch out! It quickly tightens up and if you've gotten overconfident in the gentle section your speed will send you straight into a group of rocks. You can take the gentle part of this turn as fast as you want, but you'll need to slow down a bit to dodge the rocks at the end of the turn.

Try to take the curve as straight as possible.

4. Turn four is like a longer version of turns one and two but to the right. Keep your speed in check and this is an easy turn.

5. After the fairly tame S-Curve you'll hit turn five. This turn has caused many races to be won or lost. You have to slow down to at least 100MPH to complete this turn, even slower would be better. If you take this turn too fast you'll find yourself in a nice green cactus. One interesting way to take this turn is to turn too far to the left and cut through the dirt, if you do it right you can take the turn faster and end up back on the track a few seconds ahead of someone who takes the turn the normal way.

Slow down before the curve.

6. Turn six is a long bend to the left, if you do this turn right you can stay on the inside of the track and accelerate all the way, never touching your brakes. I do find that a quick tap of my brakes helps me avoid the rocks on the right at the end of the turn.

7. Turn seven is a high speed turn to the left, again if you do this right you can go through this turn with minimal braking. Be careful though, if you hit the wall on the right you'll go airborne.

Stay to the left side of the road.

8. Turn eight is another one of those left turns that starts gentle but then tightens up. Try staying on the inside of the track and limiting your speed and you can accelerate all the way into the narrow section of the track without needing to slow down, I've managed to complete this turn at over 140MPH. It is difficult to pull this off though so you might consider taking this turn at around 100MPH just to be safe.

Pass just to the right of the first cone.

9. The last turn of the track is a gentle bend to the right down the narrow section of track. Be careful not to hit the dirt on either side of the road, at best you'll be slowed down, at worst you can spin out in the narrow section and be stuck for several seconds as you work your car back and forth until it's pointing forward again.
