!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! for the track contest, a rally course located on Isla Nublar, the site of Jurassic Park. I'm adding it here so that I can tag spots on the map with photos in the comment section.

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

Course Description: After InGen left the island, Jurassic Park's infrastructure quickly fell apart. The island is technically off limits to visitors (because velociraptor), but that hasn't stopped a ragtag group of rally enthusiasts from coming to Isla Nublar once a year to race around the service roads that line the perimeter of the old Jurassic Park.

The course is primarily mud and dirt and starts right at the dock. It's really not safe to venture any further inland than that unless you're in a 100 mph rally car. The course generally sticks to the edge of the coastal mountain ranges except near the southern part of the island where it climbs up and a dangerously twisty section of road into the foggy highlands before descending back down into the valley. If drivers are lucky, they will eventually make it back to the finish line at the docks.

A typical vehicle choice for the Isla Nublar Special Stage:

In the comments section, I've added photos taken from various spots around the course (please forgive the hasty 'shops) and tagged their location on the map in the header. Feel free to add any other suitable pictures.

The course often travels through deep gourges.

You don't want to hit a 'raptor at 100 mph.

Seems like this would be a good vehicle for the job too

That giant claw would surely scare aware predators.

Isn't this kind of convenient?

Yeah, that would be the most appropriately named vehicle for the course.

I find it mildly ironic that you used a Forza pic in reference to a Gran Turismo contest. :P

can this race be like ski free? where at the end you just keep driving, escaping from a pack of ever faster raptors. The last person alive wins!

I imagine that if you're the last person alive on an island full of dinosaurs, it probably just means that you're the last one to be eaten.

Oh man that's an awesome idea!

I'll take the bikes from lost world. While looking for this photo I discovered that they used Cagivas, which are pretty much like rare Ducati dual sports.

This is a great idea, so long as there aren't any half dinosaur, half human hybrid drivers.
