Jun Senoue on Team Sonic Racing Original Soundtrack:

Wisp Circuit

Wisp Circuit, the first course in this game, is a race stadium built on Planet Wisp, which first appeared in Sonic Colors. It’s a circuit where a standard F1 circuit-like course and a natural course are mixed together. Basically, I wanted to prepare a natural, original song, but did you notice this nostalgic melody incorporates the opening phrase of Planet Wisp? The stage’s main music is a combination of the intro fly-by and normal lap music. Both the theme song and this first course song use the single coil strat sound, which is a bit unusual for me. As a finishing touch, the tempo increases on the final lap. The instrumental band that was formed for Sonic’s 25th anniversary, Sonic Adventure Music Experience (herein referred to as S.A.M.E.) was the core band, and we welcomed Alexander Mathias on saxophone to our team.
