Haven City is a race track in the sport Combat Racing in Jak X: Combat Racing.
Overview
Edit
The track starts out with a rugged right turn that will catch you off-guard, so be prepared for the turn before it comes up. The first archway will put you in a stranglehold, as well, as the sides close in, making it tougher to break ahead of the pack if you run into it. The businesses and housing projects along the sides of the road can be jagged, so be careful when riding the wall sides with the power slide. After all of this, you'll find a few curving straight-aways and ride along the upcoming tunnels and under the overpasses to cruise with your boost. More ugly, razor-sharp businesses loom to the sides of you. You'll come across some wickedly high curving rolls to the left and right multiple times. Cut their corners to make the best of the situation. A few rough jerks and twists will occur in the moments after, including a tough 360 degree twist around the track. Use your booster here and get ready for a few sharp turns signaled by the flashing yellow arrows. The finish line resides ahead. This course is tough on ANY of the modes, but particularly Rush Hour and Turbo Dash.
This track is one of the "Big Four" - i.e. the tracks where races are always at least 25 minutes when set to ten laps in Exhibition Mode. (the others are Badland Sanctuary, Glacier Alley, and Beachfront Drive). In line with the other members of this group, races at Haven City tend to be tightly contested at the end, although this track is the best known of the Big Four for leads of larger than five seconds at the end of lap ten. This may be an effect of the large number of tight turns, which tend to catch drivers off-guard and often leave them stalled out or destroyed. For players, numerous deaths (upwards of ten a lap) are inevitable during the early portion of races, although as one gets the layout of track down during a race, completely environmental deaths subside. Oil slicks, however, are deadly for any driver who gets caught in them.
