!Like a Hamster! by tristouf
+ + A very nice way to open the event with a idea I've genuinely never seen before. A series of machinery props (I forget what they're called exactly) make a smooth tube to race through. The route around the stunt is kept simple with the large jump up smooth and landing you (usually) in the correct place.
- - The main issue with this is the entry speed. Going downhill as you do into the tube most people enter full speed and die, but to get through correctly it needs gentle throttle control. Entering it from a less severe downhill section would be better imo.
= = Great idea with a interesting vehicle lock. 

!*V8 - HOTDOG XTREME TSL by ven876
+ + Quick laps, good CPs and a stunt that's almost impossible to fail. Exactly what a TSL should be. Smooth, quick and fun.
+ - CP before the stunt is misleading as it points hard to the left. Add a extra CP just before that point forward to make it clear drivers aren't meant to turn off. It was over very quick with just 3 laps. 
= = Very smooth, all over too quick for me. 

^ Car Wash Bacon Slide by CynicalCreator
+ + The stunt looks great and I've been looking forward to playing this when I saw it in the list. When the stunt works it looks fantastic as you slide between the carwash and complete the small loop up. 
+ - The stunt didn't work very consistent at all in the 2nd lobby. Most of the time it bounced me into the car wash things and plenty of others had the same issue. It just feels a little too precise for it's own good as you need to bounce between the car wash perfectly to carry on. Adding a flip onto the spiral would be a nice touch so if you do slam into the car wash you can still carry on. 
- - The route around the stunt feels very messy. It's full of awkward hairpins around narrow alleys in Supercars. It also goes through lot's of garbage that clutters the street when hit. It's just got no real flow to it imo. CPs are fine though but it felt like the wrong class to race the first half of the race. 
= = Ambitious, likely failed a lot more as it was a full lobby. On the one clean lap I got it felt great. 

{SJ} ¥ Echekems ¥ by IloveSamy_
+ + Good solid stunt race. CPs were early but did the job (better early than late) and when the stunt worked it was fantastic. 
+ - I never like racing these bumpy roads in fast classes. It just feels really awkward. The first flip under flipped me most of the time. I'm not sure if is was a full lobby issue, bad luck or if the stunt needs adjust very slightly. 
- - Osiris recommended but all classes open? I'd be amazed if this worked in SUVs 
= = Coaster's almost perfectly built, but I can't help thinking it needs a few minor tweaks to perfectly work in fuller lobbies as the flips very slightly underflip you. 

¥Grand-Stunt-Wall¥ by LUANvidalokka157
+ + Good route with good CPs around a very good stunt. Smoothly built and worked consistently on all laps. The spiral section is built perfectly, no steering required and flips perfectly into the next wallride. The double flip also works pretty consistently. 
+ - First wallride drags you down quite a bit. Extended lower dummy proofing would be nice as you need a fair bit of counter steer to get level for the flip. 
= = Very good build. No major issues at all. 

°K24-{×ELViTA ADAMS×}° by kaffeefilter24
+ + The flip down the building it just exceptional. Amazing work
+ - The spirals very steep, very narrow and needs to be exited at basically full speed to land correctly. Basically it's beyond my skill level, which is a shame as I only got to see the building flips once. 
= = Great but one for the pro's to enjoy more than the noobs. 

Elgin Park by lancerevowrc
+ + Well I've seen Jimbob rave about it and now I've raced it I can see what all the fuss was about. Exceptional work. Such a lovely flow, especially the red container "bridge" and, as usual, the propping is fantastic. 
+ - Start/ Finish feels in a odd place, particularly in contact. Wouldn't CP 4 or 16 make better start/ finish points? Nudge CP 9 forward so CP 8 is 3 chevrons, almost everyone ran wide here. 
- - Ah c'mon I know there's don't change the default rule but can't we use common sense a tiny bit? We had a mixed lobby and GTA was only on for pitlanes. Anyway most people had a horrible experience thanks to randoms throwing proxies Not the creator's fault imo as the defaults make perfect sense for contact racing. Favourite quote of the night "Where's the G'damn stunt!?". Hehe. The only non-stunt race in tonight
= = Stunningly good track slightly spoiled due to the wrong settings. 

FL57 The Weaver  by freakyleek
+ + Brilliant easy stunt with a fantastic flow. Stunts very easy to do and these roads suite the stunts perfectly with the stunts following the natural curves of the road. The stunts add to the flow of the roads rather than detracting from it. Bookmarked. 
= = Fantastic, excellent, brilliant... 

P40 - Opium Nights Wall by pforty
+ + The routes got a good flow and the stunts very nice. Great decreasing radius long, but easy, wallride. 
+ - Wowee CP 11 is jarring. From a lovely flowing track you suddenly take a rather odd detour over the grass into the stunt area. It just feels messy  
- - The initial barge piece of dummy proofing is actually kinda hard to dodge from the respawn, acting as a brickwall. It's a easy stunt that doesn't need this extra possible obstruction. When you go up above level it's hard to know when you're going to need to be above the red container dummy proofing. I'd extend this to the ground so people can't slam into it (I wasn't the only one who did that). 
= = A few minor nitpicks aside this is a very well built race. 

Shell Sharked #2 by o_ManOfFire_o
+ + Nice changes. This play a lot better now. CP 11 onto the end left a huge grin on my face. One of the best sections of your Seashark races. The parts going over land are fun but it's really the wallride to wallride (x3/4) section that's exceptional in this. Keeps the flow going well. 
+ - The CP 7 jump is really steep, but it is a nice use of the upward slope out of the water. If possible after this add some dummy proofing at the bottom near the next CP that slopes down into the water as it's really easy to get beached here. CP 21 can go as this just feels really odd. A more standard hairpin would be better. 
- - Roll the barges/ drop them down so you can slide along them. You've done that for some areas but not others. It's frustratingly easy to get stuck along them stupid tyres that run along them. 
= = I like these races a lot and this is one of the best you've done. Some fantastic sections in this. 

$111[Nokc]^TubRide2.0^ by NokcyaM_Mayckon
+ + CP'd well and another new style of stunt. Smoothly built stunt around a good route. 
+ - The dummy proofing did not work consistently for me at all. I frequently bricked into the 2nd dummy proofing on the left Quite a few hit it but I was the only one silly enough to do it so often that I only just managed one lap. I'd advise making it a little less tight so whether to skim or slam into the initial dummy proofing it still works. 
= = Another nice idea but dummy proofing too precise for me, for some reason

{d1666} Blade - Storm TSL by destroy1666
+ + I enjoyed this but it's a very busy little stunt. You need to drive up slightly on the initial (very smooth wall) into a increasing height wallride that just seems a little odd. Challenging but if I can do it anyone can. The 2nd half of the stunts great though, works everytime. 
- - CP 5 can go - confused me as I assumed you'd double CP'd to indicate a stunt. CP 8 can go as it't too close to 9 (or pull back at least). 
= = A tricky stunt, quite a lot of precise driving required. It almost feels like the 2nd smoother part of the stunt was built 1st, with the slightly awkward 1st part added in. 

{G50} EXTREME SKYFALL by gilmore50
+ + A simple race built around a well built spiral which you complete multiple times.
+ - It seems quicker to respawn at the half loop rather than properly complete it which spoils the flow of the race. It was just a little repetitive to me to do the same spiral again and again. 
= = Good built, bit repetitive for my liking. 

{$53} *L1 ^Røąd tö Glørÿ* by Leandrinho1972_
+ + CPs around here about as good as I've seen. Stunt works consistently on the whole and is smoothly built and nicely dummy proofed.
+ - Very slightly under-flipped into the initial spiral. 2 wheels land first which meant I bounced off on lap 1. Never going to be a issue normally but in a full lobby this kind of minor issue easily causes major issues. 
= = Great build, wish lag didn't cause so many issues. 

Endless Roundabout 2 by Dr Krablander
+ + Go around and around and...
+ - I'm dizzy
- - Some of the flips didn't work from the respawns and it wasn't clear to me that you have to stay low otherwise you get bricked. 
= = A endless wallride is a nice enough idea but this didn't really excite me. Frustrating when you fall off as it's hard to get back on. 

Flying Dutchman3-(@) by @kolkrotterdam  
+ + The spiral looks utterly fantastic, and despite being slightly bumpy is easy to do. The route around the stunt is generally OK.
+ - You lose traction on the upside-down part of the spirals. If you power through it you eventually re-stick to the spiral but I took my foot off the accelerator. 
= = Good solid beautiful spiral.

i25} L0v£ Th£ SuMMer/TSL by Ivan.25
+ + Routes good and the spiral's visually great. I'm also starting to prefer to the lack of a flip into a barge wallride as it means there's less chance of failure (or at least moves the failure onto the racer instead of the creator which somehow seems better). 
+ - The spiral has visible bumps on one side and needs re-doing via templates. CCC has a good guide for it, took me a few attempts but it's quite easy to get a smoother spiral. 
- - CP 6 is too hidden. Try to place CPs at apexs, not past them in 90% of cases (particularly when there's a dramatic change of direction like this). 
= = Good, simple and quick - again exactly what I look for in a TSL. Just needs a bit of refinement imo.

K-[PS4] Among B's TSL by KALABANTESH
+ + One of the crews top stunt creators with another masterpiece. I won a stunt race  Somehow going uphill into the half-loop seemed to make it easier. The container loop and wallride after are well built. Simple again but you just can't beat these TSL. 1/2 short easy stunts mixed with wide open roads suited to Supers = Brilliant. 
= = It's nothing we've not seen before but the build quality makes this exceptional imo. 

MS | Tranquilizer by stone_xo3
+ + Great wallride. Smoothly built and despite being quite long pretty hard to mess up. 
+ - The CP before the stunt is misleading as it points hard left and you can't even see the stunt. Just add a extra CP just before this to indicate a incoming stunt ahead. CPs are placed early which is fantastic placement for the corners which are followed by a crest but confusing elsewhere. 
= = Great stunt, quite a hilly track but good outer propping and CPs here make it perfectly race-able. 

R2 101 Rollercoaster #4 by gamer101
+ + The best rollercoaster of the night. The most complex build with quite a bit going on through it but everything worked on every lap for me. The routes super short too, which is a big plus for me in a stunt race (where let's be honest you just want to do the stunt again and again). 
= = Great rollercoaster and highly recommended. 

Votes

1)R2 101 Rollercoaster #4 by gamer101
Best build of the night for me. Complexity working consistently. A rare combo.

2)Shell Sharked #2 by ManOfFire
Something different well built. A few parts may need tweaks but 10/10 for doing something different to the norm and some sections in this are utterly fantastic. 

3)FL57 The Weaver by freakyleek
Smooth, easy about as pure as a stunt race comes. 

4)K-[PS4] Among B's TSL by kalabantesh
Fantastic build. Kalabantesh just makes this kind of quality again and again. 

5) Elgin Park by lancerevowrc
I feel like such a traitor, ssh don't tell anyone but I'm really like stunts 

That's a pretty epic backflip. If I wouldn't of watched the bit just before, when you landed in the water, I would of thought it was the most skilled driving of the night rather than the luckiest driving

1. Elvita Adams by Kaffeefilter - just brilliant, nothing more to add.

2. Car wash bacon slide by Cynical Creator - hats off to you for being one of the most eccentric creators and finding spaces for us to stunt and squeeze through

3. Shell sharked #2 by Hephaestos - another excellent edition to your jet ski collection.

4. P40 opium nights wall by P-Forty - great race and imagine it took some time and adjusting to ensure it was simply R2 and go for the under the map part.

5. Like an hamster by Tristouf - really enjoyable and a sign of things to come with the tube racing I reckon, took a bit of getting used to the hard pull back to avoid death over the white cabin hut, v good all the same.
