For new players it's impossible to tell, where to go in "Reverse All Around San Andreas". The checkpoints point in very weird directions as they are.

That is a quality of that race inherited from the original All Around San Andreas. Some of the checkpoints there are already placed infront of highway junctions pointing towards the exits, and there are about a dozen shortcuts never pointed out either. New players who don't know that AASA is ment to be a highway-only race often leave the track either way.
I think this circumstance is what makes this race interesting.
