Track 2
Track 2

Difficulty: Advanced

Noon

Noon is the second track in Rush 2049. It serves as the first of three Advanced tracks, and is generally a beginner-friendly track with a few course elements that make it just a bit more difficult than Morning. Noon (like other Advanced tracks) is medium in course length, with laps taking around eighty seconds to complete. Along the way, Drivers will likely find themselves in patches of grass or dirt due to the trickier turns in the first third of the race. Toward the end, they will also drive down Interstate 280; a long stretch of Highway that forks into two different shortcuts. This track would later be altered and repurposed for the Home ports of Rush 2049, under the new name 'Haight.' As a result, several coin areas were outright removed, but this also brought about the addition of two new shortcuts for standard races, and two additional shortcuts for backward races.

Track Layout

Noon starts on Haight-Ashbury; one of the most detailed roads spanning across all tracks. The end of Haight-Ashbury leads to a long road section in Golden Gate Park. About halfway in the left bend turns into a sharper right bend, which often send inexperienced drivers or the computer drivers into the grass. Golden Gate Park ends with an large inclined left bend leading to Sunset Boulevard; A huge stretch of road with a grass divider in the middle and several opportunities for air. Afterward, Drivers will race through Sloat Boulevard and Ocean Avenue; a windy road with many restaurants and other commercial buildings. Interstate 280 has several entrances at the end of Ocean Avenue, a proper freeway entrance and a much faster jump that sends the Driver over the freeway momentarily. In the middle of 280 lies a fork with 3 entrances: A tunnel for regular routing, and a left and right exit leading to shortcuts. Regardless of the path chosen, the lap comes to an end with a bottleneck at the beginning of Haight-Ashbury.

On Subsequent laps a ramp on a building's ledge gets raised, allowing access to a shortcut that was not available in lap 1. This shortcut begins in the middle of Golden Gate Park and requires drivers to take a yellow ramp on top of a building's ledge. That ledge leads to another ramp that takes the driver to a dirt road, allowing them to save time in the latter half of Golden Gate Park. The end of the dirt road takes the driver to a side road along Sunset Boulevard, and ends after a body of water at the start of Ocean Avenue.

Fast Times Strategy

Special Edition

On lap 1 only, follow the main road until you get to the large left turn at the end of Golden Gate Park. Once the space is clear, downshift to 3rd gear and drive onto the dirt road and continue driving along the left side of Sunset Blvd. Continue driving down Ocean avenue and at the end, take the ledge shortcut that leads to Northbound 280. Take the right fork at the entrance of the I-280 tunnel, and drive on top of a ledge on the right side that leads to a parking garage. Exit the parking garage by driving left after the second to last pillar, and finish the lap.

On laps 2 and 3, drive along the sidewalk in front of the Conservatory of Flowers, and take the series of ramps to drive onto the dirt road. From here, take the same shortcuts as done in lap 1 to complete the lap.

The current record run in Team Rush, by Cobra427:


Coin Locations

Haight - 30 Coins

  • 30 coins in a circle at the top of the "Cone of Death." Activate the timed STV logo located on the top right of the grassy hill, then drive down the hill and through the tunnel and turn right into the opened secret entrance. Drive down that path, and maneuver so that you can fall into the cone's side and ascend while driving around.

Golden Gate Park - 27 Coins

  • 6 coins in a rectangular formation can be found underground by driving to the entrance in the middle of the Golden Gate Park.
  • 14 coins inside of the Conservatory of Flowers. To access, drive around to the building's left side, and drive up the grass ramp to ascend and land into the building.
  • 5 coins in a line along a dirt road across from the orange building. Either cut across the grass and turn left, or take the ramp shortcut on lap 2 or 3.
  • 2 coins behind the orange building on the right side of the main road.

Sunset Blvd. - 2 Coins

  • 1 coin in the corner between apartment buildings and a large building. Drive off Sunset Blvd. to the left into the first of two small roads. The coin is at the end on the right.
  • 1 coin in between walls of the large building. Follow the walls of the large building until you get to the center alcove to find a coin on the right side toward the back.

Sloat - 1 Coin

  • 1 coin in a corner near apartment buildings. Turn left onto the small ascending road before the body of water. Turn left again to find a coin at the end on the right side.

Ocean Ave. - 3 Coins

  • 1 coin on concrete to the right. Shortly after the jump near the two yellow rectangular barriers, make a sharp left to find a coin in front of the windmill.
  • 1 coin tucked behind the right wall of a round, tan colored building found after the yellow, staircase-shaped building.
  • 1 coin in a corner near apartment buildings. Turn left onto the road right before the gas stations. Make a slight right turn to find a coin on the left.

Northbound 280 - 37 Coins

  • 4 coins in a line along a barricade. As soon as the Interstate 280 entrance is over, turn left and follow the highway until reaching the barricade.
  • 4 coins in a line above the Interstate 280 tunnel. Drive up one of the forks, turn left at the intersection up top, and turn right behind a building.
  • 5 coins in a line tucked behind a concrete ledge passed the left yellow arrow ramp after the intersection above the I280. Right corner coin is stacked with 2 coins.
  • 10 coins in a bowling-pin formation at the end of the shortcut that starts at the left elevating fork beside the entrance to the I280 Tunnel.
  • 5 coins in a line tucked behind a concrete ledge, on the lower left side of the grassy hill.
  • 1 coin inside the red parking structure, behind the second to last pillar. Reach this by taking the right side fork shortcut, or driving across an adjacent upper platform.
  • 8 coins in a staggered line inside of the tunnel at the base of the grassy hill.

Ocean Ave. - Unobtainable Coin

Behind a fence attached to the last building on the left, after a left turn onto the brick pavement above the Interstate 280.

Timed/Toggle Events

  • A ramp in Golden Gate Park will be raised starting on Lap 2. It is unknown what exactly triggers this.
  • An STV logo found at the top of the grassy hill at the end of the I280 will open the gate to the Cone of Death for 20 seconds, then will slowly close for another 8 seconds.
