Talon's Junction is a racetrack located in the Brecon Beacons region of Wales. It was first introduced in Wipeout Pulse, and reappeared in Wipeout HD as part of the Fury expansion pack. It is also one of the five locations appearing in Wipeout Merge.

Description[]

Talon's Juction was first used as a racetrack as a means of cashflow following a recent incident at this secretive energy plant. It is a very straightforward track with a few banked corners and a mag-strip loop called the Concordia Loop.

Wipeout Pulse[]

White Run[]

The race came to this secretive energy park in the Brecon Beacons when public finances were withdrawn following the grey goo incident. Central to the 5.2 kilometre Talon's Junction circuit are the cathedral-like circuit breakers and the dynamic Concordia loop.

Black Run[]

Hidden at the centre of a Welsh geo-park, Talon's Junction is a hive of government-unapproved activity. 5.2 kilometres of track pass through the clockworks and geometric portals of this dark energy research loop.

Wipeout HD Fury[]

The 5.2 kilometre circuit careers through the classified MNT plant exposing the inner workings of this future industrial superstructure. Central to the Talon's Junction track is the dynamic spiral of Concordia Loop and the sinuous semi-transparent sections that reveal the complex architecture of this dark energy research centre.

Landmarks[]

Turing Straights[]

This is the main grid straight of the course. Possibly named after Alan Turing, the father of computer science and the inventor of the Turing machine.

Concordia Loop[]

The main icon of the whole track, the Concordia Loop is a 360-degree loop located about halfway around the track. It's unknown what role it plays within the research centre, but with a structure like that, it must be a very important one.

Trinity Strata[]

Just off a tacky S-section, Trinity Strata is possibly one of the circuit breakers located around the centre. The S-section nearby may seem tricky for an amateur, but once you've found the ideal line down the middle, it shouldn't be too much trouble...providing you don't hit a weapon.

Trivia[]

  • This is the first racetrack (and the only so far) in the history of Wipeout to be based in the series' country of origin, the United Kingdom.
  • The name of this track is an allusion to Talon's Reach in Wipeout 2097.
  • In Wipeout HD Fury, the setting of the track appears to be an urban setting, suspended above what looks like a major traffic lane, rather than the Brecon Beacons. Realistically, the Brecon Beacons in real life is a mountain range within Wales.
