Azure Coast

Azure Coast is a race track in Asphalt 8: Airborne. In real life, the Azure Coast is based on the Côte d'Azur (French Riviera), which includes the independent microstate of Monaco, a small city-state that borders France, famous for Formula One races that take place inside.

Asphalt 8: Airborne
Azure Coast has two race tracks variants:
 * Azure Coast: regular track
 * Azure Coast Reverse: with the same starting point as in the regular track.

Azure Coast is notorious for its long straights where high speeds are reached, and for the total absence of ramps, perhaps due to being based on a Formula One race track. The track is 6.06 mi (9.75 km) long. In the middle of the track, a set of hairpin curves similar to those found at the beginning of Iceland appear. The track's layout is partially based on real life Formula One race track Circuit de Monaco, complete with a lack of ramps, although air time is still possible, usually with a very fast car or via a glitch.

The following vehicles have their banners depicted in Azure Coast:
 * Porsche 959
 * Ferrari 308 GTS
 * BMW M1
 * Mercedes-Benz CLA 45 AMG Racing Series
 * Sbarro Sparta
 * Nissan GT-R (R35)
 * Ferrari F40
 * Shelby Cobra 427
 * Ford 2006 GT
 * BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage
 * Pagani Huayra
 * Ferrari Enzo Ferrari


 * Recommendations:
 * Cars with high top speed/nitro efficiency excel here, due to the track's long straights and lack of nitro pickups on the main route. This makes cars like the Aston Martin Vulcan, BMW 3.0 CSL Hommage, McLaren MP4/8, McLaren P1™ GTR, and Sbarro Sparta perfect for this track.
 * Cars with superb handling are also a formidable choice because of the series of hairpin curves in the middle of the track. As such, cars with very poor handling like the Cadillac 16 Concept and nanoFlowcell QUANT FE are highly discouraged. Despite the Devel Sixteen Prototype also having very poor handling, this can be compensated by setting the handling sensitivity to 100% and giving the car a suitable elite tuning or by being very skilled.
