So I went and did the sprints last night. They were good. 18-19 seconds full gas for me, very tough, close to race sprint efforts.

The rest of the course is basically too tough for me, hills are too long, laps too long. As a benchmark it takes me almost 30 minutes to do a lap so for me 30 minutes pedaling before I get to do another sprint.

I figure when the shorter loops go live, whatever they might be, I'll be better.

The one weird thing is the cornering. Full traction in a turn is a bit odd, also full gas pedaling through turns. Not sure how the game could force coasting or whatever though, so I'll live with it.

I have to figure out how to deal with the little dips and the steeper stuff. I figure there's got to be an optimal approach to doing those but I haven't played around to figure anything out or even try different tactics.
