Frankston Touge points with maps and pictures
















This used to be my favourite playground with my Mitsubishi Lancer. I used to deliver pizzas to people living around this area. Basically Pizza Hut is located on Young Street, which is right opposite to Kars Street. Most of the time I would go drive through point 1, point 2, point 3, point 4 and then point 5, which is tecnically a loop. Every night, I pass by that road at least 2-3 times a day, giving me enough practice to control my Mitsubishi Lancer well. It doesn't have too much cops, except the route on Nepean Highway, which has speed limit of 60 km/h at the slopes (as shown on the scenery shot below) and 80 km/h on the highway stretch. Once I hit Baden Powell Drive, The high speed curve between point B and point C is a tough and challenging one. At point C, I could choose to continue either to turn down towards Nepean Highway on Humphries road or just go straight into Baden Powell Drive.
















On the Frankston Touge Tight Roads map, points A and B, B and C, forms uphill and downhill racing points. Point B is the highest and the midpoint for both locations A and C. Route A to B and vice versa would be the toughest and it would be the equilavent of the Genting Sempah route in Malaysia, except better road conditions with lesser potholes, although its a way shorter route, unless you decide to practice up and downhill a couple of times.

Between Routes B to C, although it may seem short, theres a few speed reduction mechanisms built on the road. Drivers are suddenly forced to go through a zig-zag styled one way lane, to actually slow down. One wrong mistake and you could hit on the side pole of the zig-zag crossing.
