XF Extreme Formula - Tristar Fata GT - Outer Cup (Beyond)

The last cup I'll be doing for this series (the others aren't counted for Arcade Mode), and my personal favorite. Might be a basic choice to call this one the best, but all the courses here are bangers, even if there's only four of them. Thunder Heights is probably the closest track I've seen to Jet Moto 2's Nebulous, what with the heavenly segments above the clouds mixing with the hellish storms within. Frozen Giant has one of the best songs in the game, and is probably the only off-road track that doesn't feel awful to drive if your vehicle has a low off-road stat. The set dressing greatly resembles the "Haze" tracks on Saturn, but there's no long-fall sections for the CPUs to mysteriously catch up. Twelve Minutes is the final no-atmo track, and one that's great fun once you learn it, though you'll probably bonk the walls many times in those tight chicanes in the process. Hit the dash panels, especially the rings in the flight sections, and you'll get a huge lead. And finally, Hawkland. Best track in the game; absolute roller coaster. Great soundtrack. There's ludicrous shortcut potential, but I have so much fun driving on the main route that I don't bother taking advantage of it; I use it in this run mainly to recover. Honestly, I really like long tracks in racing games, so long as they aren't monotonous, and Hawkland certainly isn't.
