The Versoa team's mini circuit was a plain circuit in Drift racing terminology. This was a type of track that has no danger zones and is pretty much the same as those on Earth. The Verso team had built this plain circuit to help train drivers and test vehicle performance. So, even though the circuit didn't have any traps, dangerous terrains or the likes, it was quite complicated and windy.

The two Vipers sped from the starting line and flew on the track at insane speeds. Although they were still below the speed of sound, they formed aerodynamic waves that seemed to encase the vehicles as they sped forward without regard. The thirty seconds countdown period was enough for the two engines to be warmed up and transition into the active phase. As for what that is, the active phase of a racing shuttle was the stage where the shuttle could almost instantaneously reach marginal top speed.
