= Notes = This race course is designed for hovercraft, and so includes features unique to hovercraft race courses such as suspended and sunken race gates.

There is a rare bug where upon closing the buy menu without enough cash, your BB can go into the negative.

Tips:
Collecting this mission from Trading Stations in areas such as the Salt Flats will increase the chance of the mission taking place on gentler terrain, making

the controlling of your Tech easier.

The hover Tech that is provided is quite difficult to control, especially if the mission takes place in rough terrain. It's also unnecessary and expensive, so it may be easier to use a terrestrial Tech to complete the racecourse and abuse the Build Beam to float through the high hoops.
