oh my god you're right, but only for one of the tracks sometimes?? that's so strange

so yeah, even if the tracks are in great condition they're still so squiggly that you're not going to be able to go particularly fast, like a lot of these curves are 300 meters in radius! that's going to force down speeds to below highway speed..
