ARA - Landscape - Midas at Makolea
The Accelerated Racing Association presents the official track map for: Midas at Makolea.
Location: Earth
Type: Multi-Lap
Length: 1.5 miles // 2.4 kilometers
Commissioned in the year 2189
Track Description:
Midas at Makolea is a track that shouldn't exist. The islands of Hawaii have long been strict when it came to industries buying up and paving over the natural beauty of Hawaii. However, the Accelerated Racing Association was still able to grease enough palms to begin building a brand new track in 2189AD. Construction lasted two years, and was built in tandem with a resort that would help bolster tourism both for the ARA's races, as well as for Hawaii's own tourism industry.
The track itself is notoriously short, and infamously dangerous. Large swaths of the bikes on the market today struggle on the Midas, mainly due to its lack of straight lines and repeated tight turns. It is not possible for a modern bike to reach its top speed on this track, which has a habit of frustrating many drivers, as well as luring many more into overestimating their abilities and picking up too much speed, thus leading to accidents.
Wrecks are frequent at Midas at Makolea, turning the track into one of the best known "bloodless" blood sport tracks in the Association. Typically, accident rife tracks like the Midas begin to rack up fatalities, but due to its short length and curvy nature, the low speed intensity actually leads to more accidents with a minimum of fatalities or serious injury. In all the years of it being active, only two people have died at the Midas at Makolea, but the number of injuries, both minor and major, its dished out to drivers numbers in the 10's of thousands.
