DERVEN ACOS / ACT I BOSS RACE
At the end of Act I, Kestar Bool arranges a tougher qualifying event by putting Shade against Sebulba. The campaign encounter is described as a four-lap head-to-head race; finishing second does not qualify you. The route atlas lists six checkpoints for its 5.7 km forward route.
01 / Race brief
Return to Hibi and inspect every fitted part and ability before committing. Prefer upgrades that extend safe boost windows or improve corner exits. The independent strategy guide suggests Enhanced Coolant, Lethal Velocity, Burn Protection, Spark Plugs and Overcharged Autopilot if those parts are available. None are guaranteed drops.
If Sebulba beats you, spend persistent tuning resources and start a new Act I tour. The route choices may differ on your next run.
02 / Practical step-by-step
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 01 / 4
Review your fitted parts and look for synergy between acceleration, heat control, survivability and any takedown bonuses. You do not need an exact online build to win.
If you have Overcharged Autopilot, test it on a broad section instead of a tight tunnel.
ROUTE PHASE 02 / 4
Keep Sebulba within reach while learning where your build overheats or loses stability. Save ramjet for clear sections and avoid wall contact.
Do not sacrifice the run with a risky shunt near barriers.
ROUTE PHASE 03 / 4
If you can bump or overtake Sebulba safely, use the advantage on broad course sections. A build with contact bonuses may benefit, but reckless collisions cost time.
Watch your remaining crash allowance.
ROUTE PHASE 04 / 4
Your target is first place at the final line. Preserve boost for safe exits and stay ahead of Sebulba without taking blind cuts.
Winning awards qualification and advances into Act II.

These sourced screenshots help identify game interfaces, track environments and vehicle handling. When a shot was taken on a different circuit or a preview build, it is not presented as a frame from this exact named track. Click to enlarge.
04 / Route selection
1 alternative lines are recorded for this route configuration, and 6 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.
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.
