Course layout

In the park, the road takes a sharp turn to the left and circles back under the bridge where the racers entered the park. After the bridge, the road continues straight until it turns sharply to the right back into the city. There, the players pass the Rockefeller Center and enter. After this, racers follow a tunnel where they can see the Statue of Liberty. After a light turn to the left, they arrive at the finish line. In New York Minute R, this layout is reversed.
