Grass Root OffRoad Racing by @bellyfluff1
Off-Road, Night, Raining, Locked to Brawler
RallyX - Kuruma vs. Sultan by barfy86
Sports, Noon, Raining, Customs Off (Kuruma vs. Sultan)
Mixed surface rally locked to the Bifta. Going along the Zancudo River and the Great Chaparral. featuring a big jump over Route 68 and a bridge across the River.
++ Good track title and description
++ Good route & Check pointing that works well in the Bifta
+ - Nice starting gates made from red/white airport huts placed throughout the course. The right inside wall is invincible though. Which is noticeable on a few of them. Would look better if all visible sides are showing.
+ - Crossover jump over route 68 was nicely done. A barrier could be helpful at the end of the road after landing to prevent from going into the river.
+ - A barrier between CP-12 & 13 to prevent from sliding off the road here would be helpful.
+ - Nice bridge over the river. Though I think it could be rebuilt so there is no drop off at the end. Perhaps angle the previous barges down more to make a smooth route all the way across.
= = 4/5. Fun rally track in the Bifta. Just needs a little prop work to make it perfect.
Stage 9 San Andreas WRC (PS4) by theicide
Stage 9 of this point-to-point world rally championship starts outside Davis quarry where Stage 8 ended. Heads through the Senora desert and Sandy Shores and ends on the Sandy Shores Airfield. Set and propped for night. Features two optional jumps over the train tracks. A bypass is included for oversize vehicles that can’t fit through the low culvert under the train tracks. Open to all classes. When customs are turned off, some classes are restricted to recommended rally cars. Turn GTA on for a death rally.
* Heisenberg’s MethlaP * by sushibapau040
An Epic Off-Road Lap race going around Mount Josiah and through Raton Canyon. A mix of high speed and technical sections. Featuring some natural jumps and one built jump and 2 built banked turns. Best suited for high speed off-roaders or Sanchez if you can handle it through the technical bits.
++ Good track title and description.
+ - Decent route and checkpointing. The route over the train tracks is rough and I think would have been better more to the left. Or make it smoother with props. Same goes for the 2 ditches along the backside of Fort Zancudo the catch you by surprise.
+ - Propping is descent but could use an update. Airport huts in the trailer park look out of place. I suggest using wreckage instead. Also the tire barriers in the trailer park hurt more than help. Use smoother barriers. the Benches used in some locations was a odd choice and are intrusive when hit. Again, I suggest smoother barriers instead.
++ The Jump built to launch you off the highway was nicely done and the banked turns worked well
= = 3/5. Fun and challenging off-road track that could use some route and prop tweaking.
Rons Wind Farm Rallycross by Y2J_2264
Quick rallycross track located in the Wind Farm with a joker lap. Featuring some built bridges to make a new and smooth route. Open to all Compacts, Sports restricted to Sultan and Kuruma and Supers locked to Sultan RS.
++ Good track title and description
++ Great Route that is smooth and works well in the suggested classes. Nice Joker lap.
++ Great propping. The Bridges are beautifully built and smooth. Additional trees look good. Joker lap clearly visible and easy to navigate.
+ - Good class choices. But Supers is only locked to stock Sultan RS. Add a dummy super to allow the use of Custom Sultan RS. Also, I think all other classes would work well too.
== 5/5. Top notch rallycross track. Just needs less class and vehicle restrictions.
[PS4] Harmony in Harmony by some12hate
Highly voted track from the end of season 1 returns for season 2. This time in the rain for a new experience.
+ - I think the chicane before the jump needs to be made more visible. It is also easy to just drive around the left side of it and bypass it completely.
See round 8 for further review.
The Scandinavian Flick by Frezyys
Another highly voted track from round 8 returns for season 2. This time we did it in the rain. The added slickness really made the stock Warrener a handful on this track. I don’t recommend the rain. Works much better in the dry.
See round 8 for further review.
YouTool .62 by stronktank
A short .62 mile mixed surface rally around the YouTool Store. Designed for the Feltzer.
++ Good track title and description
+ - Good route and check pointing. though the natural jump at CP-8 was a little tricky to cleanly go over because of the bushes catching you and spinning you out.
+ - Interesting trigger placed inside the YouTool store. I never knew the YouTool actually had an interior. though the car selection was invisible.
+ - Good propping but would like to see something interesting to make it stand out. I liked how the gas pumps were discreetly blocked off. And the lumber outside the store fit the theme of the location.
= = 4/5. Fun little track. Just needs something to make it stand out.
Broke Bridge Mountain by nittydon
A mixed surface race through Paleto Bay utilizing the broken bridge along the beach. Featuring a ramp along Bayview lodge and chicanes on the highway. Defaulted to Muscles and propped for night.
++ Great track title and description
++ Default muscles works well and nicely propped for night.
+ - Great route with a mix of fast straights, corners, chicanes, jumps and dirt sections. Chicanes on highway are too open and not really effective. You can pretty much drive down the middle of the road a barely have to turn. Close off more of the road so you are forced to switch back and forth.
+ - Good propping. Liked all the hay bales placed throughout. Generator lamps added to light up barriers and jumps. I think more propping is needed to define the the line of the broken bridge better. Perhaps a couple of vertical airport signs each side of the bridge entrance. I liked the trees added on the off-road section to avoid hitting rocks.
= = 4/5. Great track for muscles that works well at night. Just needs a more defined chicane and clearer route over bridge.
Peak Performance (PS4) by @athiestsw
A grueling off-road point-to-point SUV course starting in Vinewood and ending at the Land Act Dam. Featuring punishing climbs and dizzying falls where precise car control is the difference between life and death! Also can be played with Off-roads and Motorcycles. Beware of the gas pumps at the beginning. they explode easily when hit.
++ Great track title and very detailed description.
+- Descent route that could use some route tweaks to improve the flow better.
- - I think at CP 30 the route should stay to the left instead of heading over to the right ridge at CP-31. Instead head down to the ravine and go through the culvert under the road and connect to the the winding dirt road and turn right and back up the road towards CP-33.
- - Utilize the natural jump over the freeway at CP-45 and use barges to make a smooth route across to the wind farm.
- - Move CP-51 more to the right. It is currently behind a tree and the route to the right side has much better flow.
- - CP-60 move up the road a little further. the route around the right side of the tree has much better flow.
+ - Okay propping that needs some updating.
- - Black tire barriers placed throughout are hard to see in the morning light and I saw many crash into them. Use kinder more visible barriers.
- - I suggest replacing the Red/White tire stacks defining the route along the ridges with trees.
- - The finish line was very tricky to line up for. Some better barriers are needed to help navigate a safe route to the finish line.
= = 3/5. Interesting challenging route for SUV’s. Has potential to be a great track with some route and prop changes.
Rally [Rocky Knocks] by jamiejohnward
Rally track though Raton Canyon featuring a cool looking bridge connecting the high road to the low road. Designed for the Warrener and propped for night.
++ Good track title and description
++ Good technical route that suits the Warrener well.
++ Sedans is locked to Warrener and Glendale when customs turned off. Great choice and allows the ability to turn customs on and use a custom Warrener.
++ Good propping throughout
++ Great looking and well built bridge. Wrecked vans placed throughout with generator lamps sticking out looked great. Neat looking starting gate buried low in the ground.
= = 5/5. Great overall track with a bridge that puts the icing on the cake. Well done.

Go Kart Rally #2 davidjames2013
Fun Bifta rally, -I enjoyed this even more than the Rally #1. Good layout, the big jump was fun, and the checked gates are cool. The only fix needed is with the start grid: The right lane is pointing directly at the upright of the gate. The grid either needs to be move left a little, or the gate needs to be wider.

I liked the route. It could use some updating with the props, particularly replacing the black tire barriers at CP 19. You can’t see them until you hit them, and the CP makes it seem as though you’ll just be following the curve of the road. The black tire barrier before CP 45 was also problematic, again using something more visible would be helpful. The other thing that really caught me out was the lack of the Huntley as a stock vehicle. Since I don’t own an SUV this killed me, and guaranteed my DNF.

Dat bridge! Holy sh*t, my stomach dropped the first time I drove over it. It was more like a roller coaster drop. Really cool build.
Ron’s Windfarm Rallycross Y2J_2264
This was also a cool build. I’m digging all of the neat bridges I’ve been seeing from everyone lately. Paired a fun layout makes this stand out from other tracks at this location.

To be honest, the original route was the opposite way round, its a great downhill route the opposite way round, but it was a choice between that downhill route and that rollercoaster effect from the bridge.
