There’s a freeway entrance located just outside of Picton in the Australian state of New South Wales – about 80 kilometres south of Sydney. It’s a dead straight strip of tarmac that eventually deposits you onto the Hume Highway, headed north.
It’s been my favourite piece of road ever since I got my driver’s licence. A friend of mine calls it The Runway; you slowly taxi on, bury the throttle and take off. It doesn’t matter what you’re driving. All that matters is that for several seconds, before you merge onto the Hume, you get to go from nought to... lots.
For a kid who group up on a steady diet of Stunts and Street Rod it was perfect.
This is the kind of emotion racing games, particularly the open-world kind, tap into. The joy of planting it on a barren stretch of road.
