I would venture a guess and say that maybe what's going on around the track doesn't reflect any particular event from the game. It could be just a bunch of different themes thrown together that best represent SoA.

Here's another thing to keep in mind; if this game is anything like the Mario Kart series there very well may be more than one track based on each character. We might yet see another part of Arcadia being turned into a race track before this is over with.

That could be true from the looks of it but the last game was far from that. :(
Of the top of my head there where around 7 or so characters who did not get a track at all while others got 3 different tracks to themselfs.

That's why I was so happy to see Vyse got a track as I thought he might of been one of the characters without a track.

Was watching the new trailer for Sonic racing transformed again just to see that great track!
However I have some time on my hands and felt like taking a few shots from the video to share.

Let's see if we can see which ships if any from the game these are?

So the top right looks like the Albatross, what do you think?
Top left I'm not sure, random pirate ship?
Bottom left is a Valuan ship but why type I can't tell from the back.
The bottom right is no question the Delphinus, the part when it flys over was blured because of the video but I think you can see it fine here.

I'm pleased to say the track has all three modes of racing, land, water and air.

It is pretty hard to make out which ship is which. The top left does indeed look like the Albatross.

And if I were a betting man I'd wager that the top right is a Black Pirate ship. The location of its propulsion fins and configuration of its sails matches that kind of ship perfectly. I can't see the rudder on the underside of the ship in that pic but that'd be a dead giveaway if it can be seen at all in the video.

Sorry it was hard to get good pictures from a video. ^^;

However that ship does look alot like the one in the link.

No, I was wrong. I snagged the video and have been watching it frame-by-frame. The top two ships are both the Albatross.

I'm not sure about the lower left one but it might be the Delphinus too. I'm still not really sure about that one.

Well what ever the ships may be all I know is it will be a great track to race on and give us some idea to what a updated version of SoA could look like.

Not the biggest of news but you might like it?
Each track has a name, and a translation of the SoA track comes out as 'Rouges Landing '.

Though there are indeed some trees and greenery, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the location does NOT look like anywhere in Ixa'taka (especially as a number of the treees seem to be conifers). The overall impression the location gives is mid-ocean, and the sight of shrine island in the background/the silver moon/the style of pirate vessels you see adds to this impression.

After all, there's islands in Mid ocean far larger then pirate/windmill island that you just can't land upon within the game itself, I would guess that this location would be on one of these if anywhere.

I agree that it does seem like Mid-Ocean and I do think I just saw something that would say it is.

The four pictures I posted with the ships, If you look at the top left one.
That's Pirate Island isn't it? With the two smaller islands just above it, also I think you can see the long ladder which connects them.
