Rollercoaster by Ariefnm
Passing through Rua de Santa Catarina, one of the most famous street in Porto, this track span for 3 kilometers long, and just like the name implies, driving through this track is like riding a rollercoaster. Drivers would find that driving through this track is quite challenging, since there are so many twist and turn on it. The street is narrow, making overtaking quite difficult. There are slow corners which would force the drivers to reduce their speed significantly, but there are also a few straights that would help them reach full throttle. Drivers still need to be careful though, as not all part of the street were made of asphalt, since some of them were made of cobblestone. So, the journey will sometimes be smooth sailing, but on the other times it will be full of bumps. 4wd would be a great choice here, since it has better abilities at handling shock.
