This track contains over 8 intended shortcuts (see the videos below), making every item that lets players drive through offroad useful. Despite the simplicity of this track, players have to take lots of decisions throughout the race due to the fact that there are a lot of different routes. Therefore [[JorisMKW]] highly recommends playing this track at a normal amount of 3 laps, instead of 2.

Overview

Desert Fort is a custom track created by JorisMKW. The track takes place around a by piantas inhabited fort which is strategically built in a lake located in the desert.

JorisMKW tried to make the track appealing for all players, both beginners and experts. The track route is easy to follow, but players who know the track still have an advantage. This track contains many different routes and shortcuts (see the videos below). JorisMKW spend a lot of time balancing the routes in such a way that there is no fastest way to maneuver through the track in general. Which route is best to take depends on your position, your item, your skill of certain shortcuts, if there is likely to be a shock, if there are players around you, etc. This leads to fun and chaotic races where players have to do a lot of decision making. JorisMKW also nerfed the most broken shortcuts from versions before v3.0, which has resulted in the track not being as shortcut reliant as it used to be.
