If you survived the mountain and the speed track, your body is empty. Now comes Punching in a Dream by The Naked and Famous. This track is anxiety set to a synth beat. The Race segment in RPM 56 is a series of "attack sprints"—15 seconds on, 15 seconds off, repeated four times, followed by a seated climb. The song’s ethereal falsetto versus the chaotic, distorted chorus mirrors the ride perfectly: "I am punching in a dream..." (sprinting). "...Nothing is what it seems." (struggling to breathe). This is the make-or-break track. Finishing this means you have earned the cooldown.
