Below is an excellent example of what to write, although it by no means has to be as long, but, if you can manage it, it should be equally creative and original:

Switzerstan is a large island nation in the southern hemisphere with a warm, semi-tropical climate. It has a variety of environments - a tall mountain range divides the hotter northern half of the island into a rainforest/jungle to the west and an arid desert to the east. This desert progresses to a wide open grassland towards the southeast of the island, and west of the grassland is a wider but lower mountain range of rolling hills. The southwest portion of the island, between the two mountain ranges, features many temperate river valleys and some of Switzerstan's largest population centers.

Great Landing is Switzerstan's largest city, its capital, and according to legend the site where the nation's 14 founders first made landfall. Situated on the mouth of Life River, it is a bustling port metropolis that oversees a dizzying amount of commerce. The two-wheeler part of the race in and around the city will be on the high-speed commercial lanes where the limit is 280kph and the minimum allowed cruising speed is 150kph. It will be in traffic, but this will not be normal traffic. The Swiss Marmaduke League has reached a deal with the Truckers' Association: On the day of the race, many of the semis that will be in the area at race time will be fitted with advertisement-covered ramps. The expected profits will be considerable, and will be split between the Association and the drivers whose ramps are featured in the most popular replay clips. This means that drivers will fiercely compete to get into position for the two-wheelers to make spectacular jumps off their ramps. Already, coalitions are forming to work together to block lanes, set up double or triple jumps, or perhaps go into even more advanced configurations.

The Mobius Strip is an intense, mindbending course built specifically for FMR, but has also become a highly popular and lucrative recreational course for amateur drivers during the off-season. Almost all drivers either absolutely love it or absolutely hate it, and there are far more of the latter. The general layout, loosely, is of two long, intersecting figure eights with a skewed vertical loop at the center. The Mobius Strip is most famous for its huge drive-through house of mirrors (which are made of durable and shock-absorbent materials, capable of taking a 100kph impact from a 4-wheeler without even denting, and up to 200kph without cracking). The mazelike setup of the mirrors is modular and changed to a new configuration before every race. The Strip is also famous for its rotating bridge, its "slalom course", and the hairpin turns where the road slopes downward at the edges rather than up. At the central loop, an automatic mechanism latches the car to the track so it doesn't fall if it isn't going fast enough to make it all the way around. It also puts a resilient bumper-car-like frame around the front and back, so drivers can thwart those immediately behind them by stopping on the loop, using the energy from the collision to go all the way around, and the then-slowed opponent has to peel out onto a side track, turn around, and get up speed to try again.

The tumblebeetle desert is named for its entomological inhabitants that latch together to form ball-like colonies that roll across the dry scrublands until they encounter suitable vegetation or other food, which they promptly devour. The 0-wheel segment of the race will start in these craggy scrublands of rock and dried dirt. There is no set course here, only checkpoints, and the drivers will have to navigate through or around the interlaced network of shallow ravines and canyons, and even the rare steep cliff face or mesa. As the race progresses into the central desert, the terrain will become smoother and sandier until rolling dunes stretch across the horizon in every direction. Here the checkpoints will be further apart, and it would be easy to get lost. The dunes appear to form wind-blown lines, but these can imperceptibly curve over long distances. Cars going over the sand will create an easily visible plume behind them, but if the cars in front get lost it is quite likely that the entire pack could be led astray.

Mount Higgs is an incredible place. Not because of the sight of a lone, colossal mountain in the middle of the desert, but because it houses the central depository of the First Bank of Switzerstan. It's an ultra-high security facility, and the League had to make quite a few unfavorable deals with the Bank before being allowed access. Switzerstan's currency is still called the atom, but this is no longer meant only in the sense of elements like hydrogen or helium. Instead it is used in the sense of the smallest possible unit, the fundamental particles of mass or energy. The depository inside Mount Higgs stores unbelievable amounts of these particles in a series of hyperdense quantum condensates kept near a temperature of absolute zero. A portion of this material was gained from taking in vast quantities of water from the ocean - despite melting glaciers and icecaps, global sea level has remained relatively
constant almost solely because of this activity. With a noticeable amount of the earth's mass stored in such a relatively small place, unusual gravitational effects begin to occur. Several tunnels go through the mountain, and at these close distances the percieved gravity can change by up to 8 m/s^2 (normal surface gravity is 9.8 m/s^2). The gravity well also attracts air pollutants and particulates from the surrounding areas, and has a similar weak effect on rain clouds. This combination results is a greasy sludge frequently coating the roads outside the facility. One of the most famous tunnels inside the mountain drops almost straight down near the summit, goes all the way down beneath the facility, and then uses the gravitational well to whip around, going almost straight up before leveling out on the opposite side.
