Odawara Pikes Peak

Odawara Pikes Peak (小田原パイクスピーク "Odawara paikusupīku") is MFG's opening round course. The course passes through Hakone Turnpike, Lake Ashi, and the old Route 1 to the finish line. The course is the longest of all the courses in terms of length per lap.

Information
Sector 1 is the ascent from the foot of the turnpike to Lake Ashi, Sector 2 is the flat section by Lake Ashi, Sector 3 is the steep descent on the old national highway, and Sector 4 is the section including the 1.9 km long straight called "Kamaboko Straight" and the entrance to the turnpike.

In the world of MFG, a huge explosion occurred on the north face of Mt. Fuji X years ago, and the hot springs have dried up due to changes in the underground water veins since then. Because of this Sector 3 of the course is considered to be the death zone of the course as visibility is extremely poor due to the haze and accidents are frequent.
