Bypass on the Terrace

Tile traction on the balcony is exceptional. I opened up full throttle along the south-facing rail, tracking straight toward the corner. Right at the turn, two heavy ceramic planter pots blocked the lane, with a fallen dry leaf wedged between them. First attempt to push through failed; the leaf acted as a friction brake against my splitter. I reversed three car lengths, cut sharply starboard, and found a clean two-inch channel between the pot base and the outer railing. Full grip, zero wheel slip. Outer sector circuit fully linked.
