# V2 Racing Tracks And Open World §99 is implemented as a production contract around `V2RaceTracks`. The module continues to own race lines, checkpoints, sector splits, track zones, replay pose tracks, and authoring components. The new layer adds launch inventory, Metro City districts, track-editor requirements, dynamic events, faction state, economy locations, gated quests, hidden areas, and secret mission catalogs. ## Track Categories Launch track types cover circuit, sprint, drift, drag, speed trap, eliminator, time trial, knockout, pursuit/patrol, and open-world cruise. Circuit tracks are closed-loop with sector splits, player racing line, and AI racing line. Sprints are point-to-point. Drift tracks carry drift zones. Drag strips carry start lights and perfect-launch/perfect-shift scoring. Time trials use ghost data. Pursuit and patrol routes support Hot Pursuit and Most Wanted modes. ## Metro City Metro City has eight districts: urban downtown, industrial port, suburb, highway-loop, harbor, canyon-mountain, desert outskirts, and airport. Each district has an aesthetic identity, traffic density, pedestrian density where applicable, marked open-world events, sunrise/sunset data, and time-of-day cop density. The districts are faction-controlled and feed territory map state, gang-war ambushes, blockades, chase-pursuits, and faction garage unlocks. ## Track Production Every production track has a designer-authored racing line, offline-solver AI line override, sector splits for time-trial leaderboards, interactable hazards, 360-degree spectator camera locations, and photo-mode hotspots. The in-engine Track Editor supports racing-line splines, sector triggers, hazard zones, cop spawn points, crowd zones, community sharing, and moderation. Launch inventory commits to 12 circuit tracks, 10 sprint tracks, 6 drift tracks, 4 drag strips, 5 off-road/rally tracks, and 3 futuristic tracks, for 40 committed tracks. ## Open-World Systems Dynamic event scheduling is per district and includes street race challenges, cop-pursuit ambushes, time-trial billboards, drift competitions, cargo escorts, police chase escalation, and Power-Play training. Eligibility checks consider player vehicle, heat level, time of day, weather, and faction state. Spawn-in uses a cinematic beat, NPC voice line, and map-marker ping. Persistent destruction tracks broken barriers, crashed traffic, and debris piles during pursuit and combat racing. Reset rules are configurable per event cycle, ranked start, and free-roam cleanup. ## Economy, Quests, Hidden Areas In-world establishments cover auto-shop, paint shop, vinyl shop, specialty parts vendor, fast-food truck, motorcycle dealership, used-car lot, and player-built crew shop placement. Shops have first-visit cinematics and hours tied to the day/night cycle. Quest gates cover day-only, night-only, rain-only, fog-only, storm-only, snow-only, and time/weather combo conditions. Every gated quest carries a lore reason and reward. Hidden areas exist per district and reward rare cosmetics, hidden parts, lore pages, or collectibles; discovery stamps player profile, reveals minimap fog-of-war, and can be shared by code. Each district has a 5-10 item secret mission roster. Triggers include repeated drive-bys, specific vehicles, speed thresholds, and finding an NPC. Unique rewards include rare cosmetics, unique titles, and hidden cinematics. ## Verification `RaceTracksOpenWorld_V2_Contract.json`, `track-open-world-launch.json`, the `RaceTracks.Module` automation spec, and `check-v2-race-tracks-open-world.py` validate §99.
