not a problem on that race, I have felt like doing that a few times.
sebenco F: barrel roll first, off the top of the hill just before the straightaway, and out of the tunnel (with a turbo), or if I can take the turn right and get high enough.

It is a track filled with weapons, so I absorb alot, unless I pick up mines, bombs, or if someone is in my sights. I normally have good shields, except sometimes I get caught up in getting a good time, and try to save the turbo for the right couple of spots, when my shield is already a little low, but about 90% of the time that is not a problem.
