Planet Fern Bay by KiDCoDEa and DoN

The entrance of the famous Fern Bay Green chicane

The first corner of Fern Bay Club/Gold/Black

Fern Bay situated in the sunny outlands of Jamaica contains four road and two rallycross configurations, plus reverse, including the longest S1 road configuation at 4.1 miles (6.6 km).

Fern Bay has been revamped once in the history of LFS, for the release of S2 (0.5P). 0.5Y provided minor fixes and improvements for the environment.

Configurations

Club (FE1)
Length: 1.6 km (1 mi)

A short course, well suited to the smaller cars - but beware of the high kerb at turn 3 as it can flip some cars!
Green (FE2)
Length: 3.1 km (1.9 mi)

This track is famous for its very fast first chicane. There are a lot of good spots to overtake.
Gold (FE3)
Length: 3.5 km (2.2 mi)

The railroad bridge with the previous very fast double right is the thing you will remember first of this track. You will find wonderful combinations here and some hills. As this track has only 3 straights, you will have to time your attacks wisely.
Black (FE4)
Length: 6.6 km (4.1 mi)

Longest track of S1. This track incorporates Gold and Green. Because it's very narrow with only 1 long straight and lots of turns, this one is maybe the most difficult track in LFS.
Rallycross (FE5)
Length: 2.0 km (1.2 mi)

This rallycross track consists of 70% Tarmac and 30% sand/mud. Most of the track is very twisted and narrow. The starting straight on the other hand is very wide and long. This is the only real overtaking spot on this circuit. The straight, the tight hairpin and the big jump (you have way more speed here than in the "Rallycross Green" configuration) in the back are the main characteristics of this track.
Rallycross Green (FE6)
Length: 0.7 km (0.4 mi)

A very short rallycross track. 60% Tarmac, 40% mud/sand. Overtaking is very difficult on this track, because there is only one short straight and there are a lot of bends. A good start is very important here. The only possibilities to overtake are in front of turn 1 and in the long right turn at the end of the mud/sand-part. There is a pit area, but it's only for leaving the pits as you can't repair damage or refuel.
