Welcome to Galleria! Once it was the shopping mall of New Colombus. Now it's a suitable place to make some street racing with Io's last inhabitants.

11th track of the game, Galleria is loved by many players, thanks to its diversity and its artwork. The route isn't so difficult, it's quite fast overall although with some technical sections. The last part is the hardest one in my opinion. It's very bumpy, so keeping the grip there is really tricky. Turn too hard and whoosh! You'll lose control and spin (like me at 4:00).

Shortcut? Yup: at 0:40, after the hangar, jump right into it. However, that's not so simple: if you aren't fast enough, you'll end up into the pit. And if you go too fast, you'll hit the rooftop... or even worse, land on it and get completely lost :)

Because of the various styles of Galleria, choosing a good setup can be enigmatic. Grip or top speed? Grip is fine for the slippy sections but the lack of speed will slow you down in the straight lines. In this case, the best thing to do is progressively decreasing the handling. And when you feel you reached your limit, set the grip and top speed values with the remaining points.

Setup: 100-0-92-21-87

Final time: 5'07"64

Lap record: 1'00"07

Enjoy!
