G1 Track Spurt Starts
G1 Track Spurt Starts
This shows where the spurt starts on each G1, which is what Champions Meeting tracks are usually taken from. “Late Final Corner” means it’s too far into the final corner for a final corner acceleration skill like Maruzensky’s or Dober’s to work, “Very Late” means even inherited Taiki doesn’t (after her rework).
