Badrock Geophysical Observatory

Badrock is an observatory on Highway 142, near Fortuna. It can be found between the exits to Fortuna Heights and Hillsborough on one of the corners. Despite being in a different location, Badrock is part of Palmont University.

The facility is made up mostly of offices and laboratories, whilst also having a dead-end alleyway and a car park. There are some great views to be found here looking in many directions.

The car park is a very effective shortcut in events. The Outlaws Team Escape and the unreleased Twist Road circuit event both pass through it. This observatory did not exist in Need for Speed: Carbon.
