Race[]
In Hong Kong 7, Dakars are used to maneuver a rain-soaked track that features the expansive ramp and 1.3-mile sandy stretch. Due to the Dakar's low top speed in comparison to the standard sports car, none of the AI opponents utilize the ramp, opting for the alternative route to bypass it. However, the player has the potential to conquer the ramp by accelerating to their vehicle's maximum speed, narrowly making it across.
While Hong Kong 7 mirrors the final level of Hong Kong, it doesn't stand out as being particularly difficult. The level of difficulty is mitigated due to the slow speed of the AI frontrunners for a significant portion of the race, particularly during Laps 2 and 3. Their relaxed pace allows AI Morgen and Rossi to emerge as the primary contenders, as they maintain consistently high speeds throughout all three laps.
