ROUTE PHASE 01 / 4
START / ORIENTATION
Observe your first acceleration and the handling feedback. The ice conditions require more early planning than dry desert terrain.
How to recognize it
Choose a view that lets you anticipate long corners.
ANDO PRIME / ICE AND RAMJET MANAGEMENT
Ice Field Circuit
Ice Field Circuit is a two-lap main forward route on Ando Prime. The track atlas lists twenty-five alternate lines and four checkpoints. Those numbers reveal a complex layout rather than a single obvious racing line, so prioritize mastering one clean path before chasing shortcut gains.

01 / Race brief
What to do before the start
Test your vehicle's turning response while freezing builds. Ando Prime cold can extend boost opportunities but weaken handling; heaters counter freezing in supported course locations. A clean, repeatable lap is an excellent baseline.
PRIMARY DANGER · Freezing effects that compromise steering
Compare a lap with conservative boosts against one that uses cold-assisted ramjet on the same straight. Keep whichever produces a clean finish.
02 / Practical step-by-step
Follow the route
Select a stage to read the corresponding driving plan. These stages follow the progression of a race, not undocumented geographic checkpoint coordinates. Use the mapped course link above for the actual road and gates.
ROUTE PHASE 02 / 4
FOUR CHECKPOINTS
Follow the four checkpoint sequence visible in the atlas's route map. Practice holding the same corner exits on each lap.
How to recognize it
Do not transpose checkpoint counts from the reverse or special layout.
ROUTE PHASE 03 / 4
FREEZE VS BOOST
Watch the freeze status. Consider a heater if one is on your current line; take advantage of extended ramjet only when a safe straight follows.
How to recognize it
Long boost duration is not useful if handling has already deteriorated.
ROUTE PHASE 04 / 4
SECOND LAP / FINISH
Use the first lap's landmarks to brake sooner and avoid overcorrection on ice. Save aggressive boosts for predictable exits.
How to recognize it
The goal is the required race placing without a reset from an uncontrolled slide.

Shortcuts, forks and checkpoints
25 alternative lines are recorded for this route configuration, and 4 checkpoints are documented in the course database. That does not mean each branch is faster, marked in-game as a shortcut or safe for every vehicle. The atlas has top-down and 3D geometry; inspect it before committing to a fork.
- Open the matching main-forward route in the atlas and identify the checkpoint sequence.
- Find any alternate branch and verify its rejoin before making a speed comparison.
- Run the same version in Arcade, where possible, and complete two clean attempts on the normal line.
- Test one alternative at a time, using finish time and crash count to judge the trade-off.
IDS has not personally driven this game or extracted checkpoint coordinates. We do not claim a specific left-right turn or shortest line without matching gameplay/map evidence.
