Cocoon, a huge and strange forest area. Like the Amazon rainforest on Earth, but "slightly" larger.

Don't be misled by its simplicity: Cocoon features a lot of slippery surfaces, which make the track much harder than it looks. I must admit, I spent more time recording a proper run on this track than on Sewer or on any other track so far.

So the track itself is pretty fast. No sharp turns, no narrow roads, no shortcuts. Nothing that could ruin your run at first sight... but the track designers at Ubi planned everything to make things more exciting :)

The result? Three slippery turns (0:29 - 0:58 - 1:14) that will make you eat your gamepad! Simple, the only way to take those turns properly is to anticipate them by steering earlier. If you steer into the turn, you will lose control and spin. And if you steer into the turn WHILE going too fast, you will fly off the track.

The setup isn't very significant here, as long as you put 100 in acceleration and high values in grip and speed. But remember: if you don't anticipate, you'll spin, regardless of your setup.

Setup: 100-0-97-13-90

Final time: 5'14"26

Lap record: 1'17"49

Enjoy!
