Apparently, this track was once a parking lot. It's totally flat, with no banked turns nor inclines. That makes it less challenging than a designed track.

For scooters, though, a runoff is preferable. If a scooter slides or just misses a turn, runoffs allow room to regain control or just decellerate. The tires lining Mega Racing can be a hazard to scooters, because they're likely to stop the scooter's front wheel and send the rider cartwheeling over the handlebars. Not a pretty thought.
