1st: Ticket to Elysium by whiteywhite
Clever new route made with super smooth barges.  Great propping and nice flow.  Nice pit lane but could use some markings to indicate the entrance.  Too many wrenches in the pit lane.  Use some floating above the entrance to guide you into the pit lane.

2nd: Los SantosChamps by Most-C-Wanted
That super smooth arch bridge made from barges was impressive.  Your car would stick to the bridge the whole time with no air time.  My Osiris would climb it like a Champ passing slower super cars.  Apparently Osiris's are rockets on steep climbs.  The mountain routes have been done many times and are my favorite.  Lots of high speed and great flow throughout.  The bridge and smoothed out dip on the back section make this track really stand out.

3rd: Deadly Drive by masapy072
The propping was very clean and tidy throughout the track.  the banked turn really made an otherwise tight corner smooth and fast.  Great flow throughout the track and nice route.

4th: Decision Tree by agrajag
Great route for compacts.  Banked turn was well built and really smoothed out a rough area.  Loved the optional decision to take the route next to the dead tree and go off the jump.  I chose that route everytime.  Very enjoyable track.

Honourable Mentions:

Little Seoul, Mate by cuz05
Loved the starting gate made from tankers.  Very original and looked great.  Good route and flowed nicely.  Nice clean propping throughout and pit lane was well placed.

Vespucci Canals Circuit by A-Wes-7
Clean and tidy propping.  Loved the buried tire rumble strips.  Chicanes had to be learned but weren't bad.  Usually after the first lap you learned how to attack them correctly.

Little Seoul, Mate by cuz05
+ + Just a really well made track. Love these roads which always helps but there's a number of really nice sections strung together here. Propping seemed spot on to me, neat and easy to see. Checkpoints were fine and I can't even find anything to nitpick.

Ticket to Elysium by whiteywhite
+ + Another great barge bridge track. Good flow and the bridge after CP 6 is particularly well judged, smooth and going through the bridge supports which somehow makes it feel "right".
+ - The track bump around CP 4 was smoothed out with barges but this almost made it more hazardous at full speed. Ideally I think this should be smoothed out with more barges used creating a less extreme angle.

Vespucci Canals Circuit by awkwardpanda81
+ + Interesting set of artificial chicanes set this track apart from the usual Vespucci circuits. Propping was good and there were lots of close battles around here - a sure sign that it's well made
+ - CP 2 chicane a little hard to see in the non-contact blob and very early for contact racing imo. It's made OK but was just impossible to see on lap 1 - perhaps the start/ finish could be moved to around CP 12 so cars are more spread out by this point?
- - CP 17 is too close to 18. Propping and a early CP necessary to direct in a way that doesn't require lightning reactions.

Deadly Drive by masapy072
+ + The curved banking at CP 13 and road smoothing at CP 20 are really well constructed and add something new to the area. The rest of the track is enjoyable with no major flaws.
+ - Start/ finish close to CP 1 which gives drivers almost no reaction times on lap 2 onwards. CP 23 would be better?

Decision Tree by me
Feedback welcome

Los Santoschamps by Most-C-wanted
+ + Love these roads and the bridge at CP 5 is immaculately built.
- - CPs are hidden all round the track, all at the apex but that only makes sense if they're visible before the corner Ended up ignoring the checkpoints and just driving from memory. Also creator is no longer in crew

Girly Wig by AJ
+ + Just a brilliant route well made. Tree propping is effective to guide and looks "pretty"
+ - CP 17 left tree hard to see. Hit twice in 3(?) laps as I'm just so used to cutting here and the tree's in the shade (I know any excuse ). Doesn't seem necessary to me and I'd avoid using trees as inside props due to their invisible hitbox.

The Vinewood Carousel by LancerEvoWRC
+ + You can tell it was a good night of racing when I'm totally forgetting one of Lancer's tracks. Err...we were in cars right? Beyond that I can't remember any specifics which probably means I enjoyed it and don't have anything to nitpick about either.

Hi-Speed Stadium Ring by xxR-U-Wxx
+ + Full throttle and high octane speed ring around the airport. The carpark chicane was a pain to get right, and the one mistake I made here cost me around 6 places High standard propping with good smoothing and bridge work.
+ - A little too one pace for me to totally fall in love with.

Alien Couch Speedway by kidovey
+ + Very nice. Propping, CPs bang on with a good route. Just enough high speed sections to keep the speed freaks entertained while more technical sections spread out the field. Good combo made well.

FZ/GP by theBees13
+ + Very nicely made. Welcome to the PS4 Good route, good propping generally (including the use of the new tools) and good CPs.
+ - A few areas have high props on the inside which is disconcerting to drive around. I like to see what's coming up next. e.g. around CP 14 Something lower would be much better. Occasionally the track felt a little cluttered, nothing race breaking but just enough to niggle.
- - CP 21 need to use more outer propping here. About half the field ended up the wrong side of the inside propping at CP 22 on lap 1.

GP of Bikini Bottom by Dr Krablander
+ + Absolutely loved this in compacts, would of been a far different (and imho far worse) experience in Supers. In Compacts though the roads suit the class well and the close CPs (necessary due to the tight area) can be judged fine. It's nicely made with good use of the rumble stripes to keep Creator 2.0 fans (like me) happy. Other than the defaults nothing major needs changing imo.

Top 4:
1. ' GP of Bikini Bottom by Dr Krablander - Love these roads in compacts and so many sections to put a smile on your face around here.
2. Ticket to Elysium by whiteywhite - Great bridge work, especially the 1st bridge.
3. Girly Wig by AJ - Other than "that tree" perfect. It's probably a good job I don't have a mic, I quite fancied a tree rant at the time
4. Little Seoul, Mate by cuz05 - Let's be honest could be any of the rest. Just like these roads and this puts them together in a nice neat package.

Very good quality throughout, looking forward to the next one

jimbob what kind of compacts did you try?
