This is another Speed Trial mission requiring you to gather eleven flags and deliver them to a number of predetermined bases. However, this map presents some unique challenges. The Fortress consists of lower and upper pathways. Precision driving is required while racing along the narrow upper-level path. I
f you fall off, you can always get back to the upper level by using one of the many ramps. However, such mistakes are costly and can make the difference between attaining a gold and silver star.
Watch your speed while racing along the upper-level pathways, as there are no guardrails to keep you from dropping off.
A Speed Boost pick-up is available at the top of the map not long after depositing the third flag. While the extra speed is welcome, it also makes the EDF Scout a bit harder to control, particularly when driving along the upper-level pathways.
Watch your speed and plan your turns carefully to avoid falling to the lower level. With eleven flags to deliver in under a minute and twenty seconds, it takes a nearly flawless round to achieve a gold star on this map. Play it a few times until you get comfortable with the layout.
The flag and base positions don’t change with each new round, so memorize their locations to better plan your path through this map.
