N. Gin Labs

N. Gin Labs is a track in Crash Team Racing. It is part of Citadel City and is based upon the levels The Lab and Toxic Waste from Crash Bandicoot. The unlockable battle arena, Lab Basement, is very similar to this track. As its name may suggest, it is N. Gin's home track. The track features many small jumps, as well as one large one, a giant rolling barrel which can squash racers, possibly knocking them off the track, and a very long tunnel full of turbos.

It features in the Crash Cup and the Blue Gem Cup (with Sewer Speedway, Tiger Temple and Dragon Mines), where it is the final race there. It's also one of the first races available to race on in Citadel City, the other being Cortex Castle. Generally, it is considered to be the most difficult Platinum Relic to obtain in the game.
