It's all one big mass of hills and you're not sure where to go.
Path looks clear to me, you follow one loop, make a jump, then are back onto the same loop. The direction would be obvious when the vehicles were lined up prior to the race starting.
will think it's good because of terrain bricks even though it might not be; no clear path, all one color, etc.
Simplicity makes sense in this case. I don't believe that multiple colors makes a race track better. More distracting if anything. This track here is built for purpose.
