The guy who designs our courses makes you think. If you just shoot the course, you'll FTE.
Simplified example.
From position #1, you can see T1, T4, and T5.
From position #2, you can see T1, T2, and T5.
From position #3, you can see T3, T5, and T6.
I can put my mind in the dumper for most stages but not this guy's. (And he sets up almost all of the stages within reasonable driving distances)
