Marin Madness

Gates 1–10: Boost a little, but steer right at G1 so you miss (or fly over) the fence before G2. Then use short bursts of boost while accelerating up the hill, easing off before the stone ramp so you land under G9. Dodge the second stone ramp before G10 by steering left of the rock outcrop and zipping under a fallen log. This way you keep your speed up.

Gates 11–26: The entire circular route from G11 to G23 is off the trail. Use intermittent boosting, and steer just right of center each time you pass through an arch checkpoint. Don’t take the stone ramp at G25 too fast or you’ll land farther from G26 at the bottom of the hill and not be able to steer to it in time.

Gates 27–37: Now on the trail, boost through the middle of the checkpoints. Steer right at G34 as you reach the freeway, and avoid the stone ramp, which slows you down. Take the immediate off-ramp, and look for oncoming traffic as you reach G37.

Gates 38–Finish: Boost down the tarmac road, avoiding the bollards just before G38; then boost up the trail to the ramp that launches you onto the Golden Gate Bridge. Steer slightly right and don’t hit the stone ramp too fast or the landing can be problematic. Boost through the finish.
