This is a single player race against an NPC opponent and takes place on the main track running around the lake at the middle of the arena.
The race mission selection is the Breen in the central hub area behind Q, the start point is the gazebo down the steps from the main central hub area with a Breen standing on it.
You must cross the finish line before the NPC opponent, but they move quite slowly so are little threat.
What makes it harder is that it’s on ice; so you slide a lot. Going out of bounds off the track will disqualify you and you need to restart the mission.
In order to stop your slide momentum, you can roll, which stops you dead once exiting the roll, or you can jump and let go of the movement keys at the same time which has the same effect.
Then realign yourself with the route and start running again.
With some practice you can get good quite easily. One good thing is the track is always there so you can practice any time you want.
The route below shows a reasonably simple route to take consisting of mostly straight lines. Section 1, 2 and 3 can be taken almost entirely in straight sections over a long distance with minor steering only; this cuts off a huge amount of time and gives you a big lead.
Items that may help you out for the race include:
• Frosted Boots for extra speed, but less traction.
• Counter Command Reputation Armour which gives a short speed boost on rolling.
• Turing into a snowman via use of a Frigid Lump of Coal which removes all slipping.
Remember to turn in the mission when you complete the race!
