to test the limit, it is Fast and Furious with a twist.
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.
