Charge straight ahead

I'm thinking that might send you to the medium track. The rest of us are turning.  :P

Edit: Did you say you had physical maps of these? I'm trying to make a paint picture of the maps from the descriptions, but since many of the turns don't say left or right (and the ones that say left actually say 270 degree), and much of the track for the short version is shared by the other two versions, I can't quite figure out what it looks like. Just doing this for fun, mind, but a picture tells a story of a thousand words.

Edit: Got it. The Angular Turn is a 45 degree angle left, the right angle right turn is obvious, the first gentle curve is 180 degrees left, there's the straight of way, a right angle left turn, the jump (same length, more or less, as the straight of way), and the last turn is 135 degrees, left. Resulting in a sideways heart shape.  :D Now on to filling in the medium and long tracks around it.

Actually, you're from the Kunai company, I'm from Davis Motors.  :P

Edit: NOOOO! My first WORKING illustration of the short track conflicts with the medium track! I will have to turn around the "unknown direction" turns, see if that works.

Alright, this is amultiple poor estimate(s) at what the track we are currently on looks like, as close as I can figure from the brief descriptions:

Because we are not doing multiple laps the end doesn't have to connect to anything so that might help a little bit.

Close, and the medium branch is almost spot-on, but the short track intersects with itself, kinda like a figure 8. The medium turn-off is in the correct place, is immediately followed by a ramp and a turn that leads the track under the ramp. From there, it just connects back to the next turn on the Short track.

The long variant goes straight after the medium ramp instead of turning, has a slight left that immediately turns into a right right-angle (from driver's perspective) leading to a straight section next to fan bleachers- this points straight up and down on the map. Another slight turn puts you in a vicious chicane and throws you out on a track split: going forward puts you on a raised, curvy bit, turning left (driver's perspective) lets you take a straight path directly under it, it looks a little like DNA. They join together on a right turn (driver's perspective) and joins back right before the original starting line after a long straight.

I'll do a similar track soon, for all the tracks. I haven't yet because I'm planning others while finding time to work on this turn, as right now I can't sit down for very long and doing it bits at a time always confuses me to no end.

((Most results are flavor text, though later I may include bonuses for overshooting control by double the amount needed. That won't be until -at least- this race is over, so don't fret.))

DAF (3+2.5) (5.5 v 8)
DarkArtemisFowl attempted to take the turn at full speed, but was unable to keep away from the wall! (-3 speed, -1 Armor)
Speed is unable to be negative.
EP (4 +2 +2) (8v8)
Elephant Parade is able to stick to the turn, but just barely! His bike comes out of the turn unscathed, but slower than before.
Rem (6 +2.5 +2) (10.5 v 8)
Remthura manages the turn well, but not without losing speed around the bend!
flabort (2+2.5) (4.5 v 8)
Flabort turns much too late, resulting in a heavy loss in speed and a fairly nasty collision! He's out of the turn looking worse for wear! (-4 speed, -2 armor)
Tiruin (5+4) (9v8)
Tiruin easily manages the turn, even having to dodge those who collided with the wall.
SBC (1+4.5) (5.5 v 8)
Superblackcat relies on the Wakizashi's handling a little too much, unable to dodge the chaos ahead! (-3 Speed, -1 Armor)
Speed is unable to be negative.
DP109 (5+3) (8v8)
Darkpaladin109 is able to take the turn and dodge a near-pileup of other contestants.
Monkey (3+4+1) (8v8)
MonkeyHead slows slightly, just enough to avoid collision.

There's a Gentle Curve ahead. Shouldn't be too hard.

Gun the engine and ram flabort, if possible.
