The initial amount of time you shall start out with on this track depends on what the arcade operator has set the "Difficulty" setting in the options menu to:

C 60 seconds (1:00)
D 58 seconds
E 57 seconds
F 55 seconds
G 54 seconds
H 53 seconds

Once the screen has faded into a shot of the starting line, the numbers "3", "2", and "1" will appear in the centre of the screen; the text "START" will then appear in the centre of the screen, and you shall have to step upon the gas pedal to accelerate your car, as you pass under a black helicopter, then turn to the right as you pass under a bridge with an electronic sign which is displaying the text of "CHECK POINT" on it, then pass under another (electronic) bridge which is displaying the name of the game with the text "TOP: X'XX"XX" (X'XX"XX being your current lap time) below it. You will then have to turn to the left as you pass under a third (regular) bridge with a (regular) sign for Yokohama C.C. on it then turn to the right as you pass 105 chevrons (which are pointing to the right) upon the left side of the track - and you will then pass under a second black helicopter, along with a fourth bridge which has two more (Japanese) signs for Yokohama C.C. (横浜C.C.) and Mirai-Ken (未来研) on it. You then have to turn to the left as you drive into a tunnel, then turn to the right as you pass a fourth sign that has an arrow pointing to the curved right on it, on the left side of the track; once you've come out of the tunnel, you will have to turn to the right again, as you pass 105 more chevrons (which are, again, pointing to the right) on the left side of the track. You will then pass under a fourth bridge which has two more Japanese signs for Yokohama C.C. (and Mirai-Ken) on it, then pass under two more overpass bridges - and you'll then have to turn to the left, as you pass a seventh (red) sign which has an arrow pointing to the curved left on it, on the right side of the track, then pass under a seventh bridge with another electronic sign which is displaying the text "CHECK POINT" on it, and a giant television that is displaying another arrow that is pointing to the curved left as you drive into a second tunnel. Two more electronic signs hanging from the roof of the tunnel will then display that text "TIME EXTENDED"; once you have come out of the tunnel, you will pass under a third black helicopter. You will then have to turn to the right as you pass under an eighth bridge with two more Japanese signs for Yokohama C.C. (and Mirai-Ken) on it - and you shall then have to turn to the right, as you pass 210 more chevrons (which are pointing to both the right and left) upon both sides of the track, then turn to the left as you pass a tenth (red) sign which has an arrow pointing to the curved left on it and fifty-three more chevrons (which are, again, pointing to the left) on the right side of the track. You will then pass under a fourth black helicopter and have to turn to the right as you drive through a third tunnel going through a building named "Solvalou" (1991); once you have come out of it, you shall have to turn to the left as you pass under a fifth black helicopter, then turn to the right as you pass 105 more chevrons (which are once again pointing to the right) on the left side of the track. You will then pass under a third overpass bridge, then pass under the aforementioned first bridge to complete one full lap of the track - and once you have completed three laps of the track by default (again, the arcade operator can set the required number of laps to be as high as six in this game, and upon the last one, the aforementioned electronic sign on the aforementioned first bridge will display "FINISH" instead of "CHECK POINT"), the screen shall fade out, then fade back in to a cutscene of your car driving around the track for an additional time; the camera will then cut to a shot of the aforementioned giant television displaying the text of "RESULT" on the left side of its screen with your race position (from 1st to 12th) under it along with your lap times on its right side and your total time at its bottom. Once it fades out, the screen shall fade back in to a shot of all eleven of the cars, lined up on top of that aforementioned "Solvalou" building, in position order - and that text "GAME OVER" will then appear on the screen. If your total time was less than 2'57"765, the game will go into "track record" mode, so you should enter your initials for this track's listing upon that "track record" table with pride; once you do so, the game will go back into attract mode.
