The Great Cross Circuit 2017 with a total length of 200 m with numerous new sections arranged will cycle around 15 venues nationwide. ● New Section “Loose Road” Themiddle three lanes are gentle straight, one end lane and five lanes are a loose straight section made up of outward bulging curves. Wash walls randomly placed on the side of the course and changed to “Rocking Loose Road”. Because the course width is wider than usual, the machine is more likely to shake in the left and right direction and lateral stability is essential. ● New section “Omega Bank” TheΩ (Omega) turn which appeared in “Mini 4WD Grand Prix 2017 Spring” held from February of 2017 further evolved. A composite bank section that turns 90 degrees from the bank approach and then turns 180 degrees in the opposite direction.

Four lanes, four machines traveled in the bank, and the other one lane flat. Unlike so far it is a changer section that requires further speed and power because it passes through the bank every lap. ● Other section”Double Bouncing Straight (Multi)”In the “Mini 4WD Grand Prix 2017 New Year” as a bouncing straight, in the subsequent “Mini 4WD Grand Prix 2017 Spring”, a special section wielding double as a double consisting of two consecutive “double bouncing Straight (multi) appears again.
