Reviews:
Von Crastenburg! By:DeceptiveSmoke
Excellent sports car race set in Vinewood, and the adjacent hills. With elevation-changing corners as well as a lot of hairpins, this technical circuit is all about cornering abilities. Suited best for cars like: Elegy, Jester Race-car, and the Feltzer. Speed isn't an option here, it's all about the corners. Great job DeceptiveSmoke !!! I couldn't find a single issue with this one. Twas a blast to drive in Thirsty For More, as well as Apex Kings!
Do Earwigs Make Chutney? By:theBees13
From Vinewood to Mirror Park, the CPs, props, and race route were all perfect, and expertly crafted. Humongous props on this one theBees13 !!! I absolutely LOVED THIS RACE!!! The up and downhill, sweeping, left-hand corner just past the start/finish line was absolutely orgasmic. Seriously.....try it in an Elegy(be sure to bring a towel for the imminent mess), and tell me it's not your hands down, absolute favorite corner to tackle in the entire map. When you hit that corner at full speed, and properly, it's unlike many other feelings in the world. One general, picky issue:
- Some CPs are too far into the corners, and should be pulled back to the apex of the corner(making the racing line less clumsy, and navigation more easy)
- Add CP after CP 20(make CP 20 face the proper direction)
- Pull CP 22 back(needs advanced warning for approaching tight turn)
- Pull CP 28 back(hardly visible coming around the corner)
AROUND OF GOLF By:@chopndrop2013
Short track great for sports cars racing the perimeter of the golf course, and a dip in and out of the luxurious Richman Hotel. Dash down West Eclipse Boulevard in sports cars, tackle tight, tough turns, and mid-speed sweeping corners. Mostly all poles are blocked off, and it has a nice flow to it. Only issue for me is the entrance of the Richman Hotel; could use props to guide into it, and maybe even force the route to the right side of the road just prior to the hotel entrance. Solid race besides minor issues.
You can suggest me a name By:BlackDaemon82
We raced this one in sedans, and it was a blast. I would suggest a better name, but it's clever as is. Default class is super, but it's open to all classes. Good mix of high-speed sections as well as tough, technical turns. Solid race! Fun race with only a few minor issues:
- Center CP 9 in the hairpin
- Pull CP 15 back
- Block pole near CP 23(to the left)
- Remove CP 27(swiftly approaching, sharp left-hand turn needs advanced warning)
- Remove CP 34(or pull CP 35 back, too cluttered)
Life Invader Grand Prix By:DeceptiveSmoke
Excellent super car race smashing right by the Life Invader building. This circuit is super quick, and features 3 hairpins, a chicane, and a 90-degree turn. Super quick laps in super cars, and tough if you don't perfect your racing line. All problem poles, and most curbs blocked off, well done. Oh... watch your line exiting the final hairpin, and may it be sharp enough to avoid the red barrier on the opposite sidewalk. Great race with no issues, great work DeceptiveSmoke !!!
GRAND SENORA CIRCUIT-FULL By:@chopndrop2013
A van circuit race in the dirt, near Trevor's airfield. This one is different, and pretty damn cool if you ask me. With a couple tight turns, and decent speed sections, I dare you to race it and not have a good time. Vans, in the dirt, yes, you heard right haha. Pretty damn cool race that's definitely unique, and I've found no issues. Great work @chopndrop2013 !!!
Sports classics race(open to all classes) set in Paleto Bay with an even blend of corners and straights. Unique route choice through the gas station that makes for an EXPLOSIVE RACE!!! I almost felt bad for the folks who didn't know about it, haha. It was hilarious when one person hit the gas pumps, exploded, and took out 4 other racers with them. It was absolutely grand. The whole time I was thinking,"someone is going to kill themselves, haha." Solid circuit race with a twist, and very creative. Just a few issues with this one:
- Remove CP 1(approaching sharp turn needs advanced warning)
- Remove CP 3
- Some CPs need to be pulled back(making them more obvious on approach)
Do Spiders Make Gravy? By:theBees13
Super car race(open to all classes) set in Sandy Shores, and featuring some unique route choice. Fast, flowing track in any class. Excellent route choice around the stump, and props on prop work. Another great race made by theBees13 ! Here are the few minor issues I've found with this one:
- Pull CP 2 back into apex of 2nd corner
- Pull CPs 8, 15, & 19 back into apex of their respective corners
- Pull some CPS back(make next direction of travel clear when exiting each corner)
Fantastic injection-locked circuit race set mostly in Vinewood, and winding through some hills nearby. A circuit race locked to an off-road vehicle is sheer genius!!! Good luck curb-boosting here as most sidewalks are blocked off with red-striped barriers. This race has to be one of my hands-down favorites simply because it has a great flow to it, I love the injection, and it's very unique. Amazing job here TwistedShocker (Retired) !!! I see no issues with this one.
Coupe Day By:Tesseractor
Overall a great coupe race incorporating very unorthodox routes, brilliantly chosen might I add. This one is decent in length, and will keep you guessing! Great job on prop work with this one Tesseractor , you really went the extra mile!!! There was one confusing spot entering an off-road section, but other then that it was great, and only had minor issues. (will be included in a future Apex Kings event once revisions are made, route was too confusing to be featured in event.) Here are the issues I've found with this one:
- Pull CP 1 back(not visible until you come up on it)
- Pull CPs 11 & 13 back(make them more visible on approach)
- Block off the road to the left and right leading into the first off-road section(forcing folks to take the intended route)
- Remove CP 25(approaching sharp right needs advanced warning)
- Pull CP 26 back before the corner
- Pull CPs 27 & 28 back to apex of corner
- CP 37 has a major issue: it's not visible, and if the intended route is off-road it should be made clear with props and a CP
- Add CP between CPs 37 & 38
- Pull CP 40 back to a visible spot in the corner
- Add CP in between CPs 42 & 43(in the corner)
- Pull CP 44 back to the top of the hill
- Add CP just before the finish line(to force the road route)
***Remember when placing CPs that they're only needed when the driver is changing their direction of travel, and should be placed within vision of the previous CP.
Apex Kings
Event Info:
Apex Kings is an action-packed, varied-class racing event that will be held every Friday at 1PM PST/9PM GMT, and is hosted by me, mottzilla87 . The event will consist of two 5-race playlists with varying vehicle classes, and is intended for the purest of pure racers. This is for the non-stunt drivers who enjoy the races with little to no ramps. As this is an event mainly centered around the pro drivers, I will be testing and reviewing each submission in order to ensure we have the best-of-the-best circuit races for each event. Variety is the spice of life, so I will try to mix up the vehicle classes when choosing the races for the events.

Race Type:
NO STUNT RACES, NO WALLRIDES, INVERTERS, OR ANY HOT-WHEELS STYLE TRACKS.
