NEON CITY

Neon City is the track Neon Drift is named after: a 12-corner night circuit threading between glowing skyscrapers, with cyan and magenta light lining every edge of the road. The lap dives through a tunnel of pulsing neon rings, runs beneath an elevated monorail and passes giant glowing billboards. It is the default track for Quick Race and the most common stage for the weekly tournament.

The layout flows — medium-speed corners chain into each other with short straights between them, so a clean lap is about rhythm, not bravery. It is the best place to learn how drifting charges your nitro and where to spend the boost.

• Drift the long right-hander after the start to bank early nitro, then boost the back straight.
• The corners link — exit wide from one and you are already lined up for the next.
• Rain makes the painted neon edges slippery; brake a car-length earlier in the wet.
