Temtesh Bay is a race location in Wipeout Fusion. Taking place in the mines in a rocky desert region of Australia, this is one of the four unlockable locations in the game.
The medium variation of this track is also notable for the scene of the 2164 Temtesh Bay disaster (see below).
Description[]
With its fast straights and smooth bends, the inner circuit at Temtesh Bay is one of the League's simplest tracks; however, the two extensions which form the whole circuit add the fiendish curves of Beehive Rock and the confined mining tunnels recently vacated by ShellTec Extraction. Bruce Bloomer, the charismatic business tycoon who masterminded the track's construction, runs the circuit with a populist touch; "Remember folks, it's HALF PRICE before 10am, with a free lollipop for the kids and a flaggon of foaming ale for pa in 'The Convict's Welcome'. Plus, it's FREE to pensioners who buy their daily provisions from Bloomer's Bring And Buy convenience stores. Just tell 'em Bruce sent ya!"
Variations[]
Short Course[]
Fairly easy, albeit with some tighter corners, this course works around the main hub of the Temtesh Bay mines. You start to notice that is is a narrower track compared to the likes of Mandrashee and others, so airbraking and some accel-off may be vital here.
Medium Course[]
This is by far one of the most loathed courses in the game, and for good reason. This track winds though the old mining tunnels that make up the upper most part of the circuit. Whilst the darker interior, two simultaneous tracks and two open sections may be tricky, the most annoying aspect are the bulkheads which DO NOT OPEN until you are VIRTUALLY ON TOP OF IT. Therefore, it is quite difficult to accurately gauge the corners after these bulkheads, unless you're following someone, in which case you do know where to run.
Long Course[]
Winding its way around Beehive Rock, this is a tight and windy course. There are a few jumps you must navigate, as well as an open section littered with boulders. Extra caution is needed here.

2164 Temtesh Bay Disaster[]

On the first lap of the Temtesh Bay round of the 2164 season, the mine section of the medium course collapsed, killing six pilots and entombing others for several days. Three pilots would later withdraw as a result, including Daniel Johnson, who was paralyzed from the neck down following the disaster. The alleged cause of the disaster was the use of high-powered missiles that had recently passed the F9000 approval (It's a possibility that the development of the Super Missiles may have been the cause).
