Switzerland 6 is the sixth and final level of the Switzerland track featuring the rally car. Set in the same direction as Switzerland 1 and 3, this level is defined by extreme snowfall and the absence of barriers. The barriers are missing in three sections of the track, creating the risk of cars plummeting into the icy waters below.

A shortcut presents itself before the U-turn, allowing the player to bypass the two-mile serpentine route. This shortcut is the largest in the game, yet it carries substantial risk as attempting to rejoin the track can easily lead to falling Out.

This race is also available in Split-Screen mode where it is referred to as Switzerland B and contains only two laps instead of three.

Race

Switzerland 6 features open Out Zones surrounding the track, setting it apart from preceding levels. The heightened difficulty of this level arises from the combination of heavy snowfall and faster AI opponents. High speeds and poor handling are obvious liabilities due to the absent barriers, where a single mistake can instantly end the player's race.

The AI opponents in this level display greater aggression, which sometimes results in them eliminating each other from the race. Weaker drivers, notably AI Baptiste, are particularly susceptible to self-elimination, often crashing Out on the first stretch of Lap 1. Ivanov and Xu emerge as dominant AI due to their exceptional driving accuracy, aided by their vehicles' superior handling.

By exercising caution during the open stretches, the player maintains a favorable chance of victory, supported by a two-mile shortcut that bypasses the serpentine path from the previous two levels. The shortcut mirrors the original route employed in Switzerland's first three levels, and the player can access it by driving past the U-turn from the right side of the track. Rejoining the track at the shortcut's end requires skillful maneuvering between the barrier and warning sign, as a single misstep could result in a fatal plunge into the water.

Given the abundance of Out Zones, the player also has the option to strategically eliminate opponents from the race.
