I joined a three-lap race near the Pyramid of the Sun. I started fourth and took the lead fast. I drifted corners, jumped bumps, and played around by letting others pass. I spun out once but recovered. I pushed hard in the final lap and finished first in 4 minutes and 56 seconds very easily.

Today, it's about the Teotihuacan Scramble.

Looping around the mighty Pyramid of the Sun, this route runs along a bumpy dirt trail through the ancient city of Teotihuacan, offering big air on the straights with enough speed.

The race started and I started at number 4th position, and there were 12 racers in the race. It was a three-lap race. There were some cool-looking super jeeps there. They looked modified and speedy. On the other hand, my car looked more traditional. I knew this race was going to be tough for me.

After the race started, I overtook everyone and took a good lead. There were some off-road-friendly cars with good engines. In just 8 seconds of the race time, I bumped a little onto the car that was in the first position and overtook it.

I was going fast, and all the other cars were already really behind me. At that time, I was trying to drift through some hard corners, which caused dust to rise behind me.

After going a little ahead, I faced a bumpy road. My car jumped a few times, and on the second jump, I opened my photo mode to check how my car was looking while making the jump, and it looked cool. The other racers were really behind me.

There were some really hard turns, and I tried to do some drifting there. My car was very drift-friendly. No matter how hard the turn I faced, I did not lose control of my car. In the above picture, you can see that I did a very hard turn and bumped my car into the track border, but I did not lose control of my car.

I then continued driving smoothly for a while and finished my first lap. When I finished the first lap, I noticed that no other racers were near me to be seen.

As I was ahead of them, the race was not spicy enough, so I stopped my car and faced it the other way. I wanted the other cars to cross me, and I would move forward, bumping them to add some twist in the track.

When all the cars were ahead of me, I started driving, and after going a little ahead I saw a lady driving the same car as mine. I bumped into that car to increase that car's speed, but she was too dumb so I gave up and bumped onto some other cars and moved forward.

I was moving forward, bumping into some cars. Then I faced a turn where I tried to do a drift, but my car did a 360-degree turn, and I lost control of my car, unfortunately.

I kept going. I was in second place at that time. I bumped a car that was just beside me into the track border. It was already really slow. I made it slower.

Then I kept moving forward. I was still at second position. I was driving recklessly at that time. I drove my car through a cactus bush, and they were flying in the sky. With that, I finished the second lap in second position.

As I was still behind one racer, I did not want to take any chance in the third lap and started driving really fast and carefully, and overtook the racer who was in the first position.

I drove really fast and smoothly the rest of the road, and at last when I was at the finish line I saw that all the racers were really behind me. They were not even seen on my screen and I finished the race in just 4 minutes and 56 seconds.
