"Welcome to the newest member to the Mudpool family, Mudbowl. We're not entirely sure how much oil is still in those pipes but it'd certainly be one hell of a way for the Festival to go. One moment someone has overcharged their boost right by one of the pipes and then suddenly the entire complex can be seen from space. Just to be safe, and I'm well aware that's a blasphemous thought around here, DON'T do that."

AI Difficulty: Medium

Vehicle used: Lunar-Tec Foreman

Music used: 'Tree Top Rumble' by Chuck E. Myers and Michael A. Reagan
'Holland - Field of Screams' by Chuck E. Myers, Tommy Hopkins, and Lance Lenhart
'Asphalt Assault' by Chuck E. Myers, Tommy Hopkins, and Lance Lenhart

My thoughts: A track where the heavy vehicles reign supreme while anything lighter than a Snowplugger slips and slides around. There are stretches of track where this isn't the case and obviously those the best places to pass the heavy weights... providing they don't just ram you into a wall.

Regardless of the routes you choose, there's one chokepoint just after the first fork where you have no choice but to contend with the AI. This is a problem because the AI in this game are especially sticky on their chosen paths. Ramming into them, depending on the vehicle, will rarely shove them aside.
