Mountain Pass Ascent

Mountain Pass Ascent

Uphill mountain circuit that starts in the valley and climbs to the summit. Tight switchbacks, elevation changes, and zero margin for error. This is the track where driver skill matters more than car choice.

Track Guide

Uphill all the way, which means your car is going to feel slower than on flat circuits. Turbo cars maintain power better at altitude. The middle section has three consecutive hairpins that are the key overtaking spots — brake late, rotate, and use the inside line. The summit straight is short and doesn't offer passing opportunities. Qualifying position matters more here than on most tracks.
