RaceWars 21, Sunday 6th September @7.30PM BST

2 hours to get home, make dinner, put the kids to bed, complete my orders for work in the morning - oh crap i am out of time already. Good job i did some laps this morning.

Me neither lol, I just turn up, learn and burn, although sometimes I've tested the track once before to vet it for inclusion! 

I finally made this second character I've been talking of, level 7 atm, as good as stock. (2 race wins)

Kudos to Ath for more top hosting. Some very nice tracks spoiled only by a succession of vicious assaults by poles.

Lovely track on some familiar roads, flows great.

GCCC favourite. Always good fun, although the downhill bit after the second left really fucked me up when I had about 20 cars around me!

Dirty Harmony by Evil_Tuinhek (non GCCC)
Felt like a really fun track while it lasted, aside from one section which felt possibly a little too tight. Ended prematurely as lag reduced me to about 2fps.

Rapid Vapid Circuit by deejayb1874
Really like this, some of the tight curved slip roads can be hair-raising in fast vehicles (flipped my car just brushing the edge of one) but it's still a top track with a lovely flow.

Familiar? by Lewis-R--
Nice track, well routed and flowed well. A few exposed poles though, as I found out to my peril on one occasion (I'm looking at you Boss)...

Downtown Sports Circuit by barfy86
Another nice track with a nice route. Not a big fan of having that tunnel in races as the entry/exit are somewhat perilous but it was still a really enjoyable race, aside from death by pole part 2.

La Mesa Market by NittyDon
One of Nitty's finest creations on next gen, super track in medium-paced vehicles. The wall after the first turn ALWAYS gets me but that's my fault. One issue though - I was desperately clinging onto 5th place ahead of the final turn when I hit what I presume was the same thing Ath hit, i.e. an invisible prop in the middle of the road. Not only did I hit it but my car got completely wedged on it. Get that fixed Nitty!!

(thanks for including this Barf)
Best track ever! In all honesty though, this isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea and although I love it with a small lobby, it's less fun with so many cars around you - it's already hard enough having to concentrate on all the tricky sections. Also after the fallen fence chaos the first time we ran this track, I went in creator and could only find ONE piece of fence that could be smashed in that area, so I blocked it with a barrier. But somehow the exact same thing happened again - multiple pieces of fence strewn across the road in the same place on the final lap! WTF?! Whoever knocked that fence down, PLEASE tell me where it is so I can block it off as that shit is giving me nightmares.

Invisible props have been plaguing my races recently, got something to do with picking em up and replacing them, for some reason one of the barriers on that track is now a dynormal prop also, and a random bush sprouted up in the middle of the road when I attempted to delete it !! think its a newish bug perhaps ? Will rerun the track later this week in the creator and try and work out what the fook has happened !

Farmland Grand Prix North by Jameznash

Starting out with a lap around Grapeseed, made easier with the large knowledge everyone should have of these roads. Clear and consise, the props are chosen well and blend in seamlessly. The corners are tough but with a familiar and straightforward layout. I felt this was a great race to start with.

[PS4] Carousel Technique by wtr190788793

The bumpy nature several corners of the track have, make the medians in road feel in the right place. The first section propped with fruit stalls caught me out on my first few plays of the track. Personally I'd have placed the checkpoint at the top of the hill, in position to funnel racers around the median. Problems going over this median can lead to problems at the next tricky corner. However the nature of the track has led me to like this area after more than a few plays of the job. I like the new barrier which pokes out just before the carousel to lead you to the race line. This may cause significant issue in a contact race however. Overall a superb race.

Dirty Harmony by Evil_Tuinhek (non GCCC)

An off road track with freshness. Trees lining the track let off a strong feeling of a real rally track. A few of the other props behaved slightly odd, particularly the flags. Stacking them on a rock or a red and white barrier could help perhaps, although might ruin the feel of the track. After the first chicane there's a red and white barrier which may benefit from slightly more angling. This might need two barriers though, which may not work out. I thought this track was fantastic and my highlight of the playlist, and possible the night.

Tunnel Run by Opalescentfalcon

The second race new to me I think (poor memory at my end :-). Felt good on bikes, with a great flow, two laps were not enough though. Most of the way through the lap, there's a section with an user separated road. The barriers are blind to view and separated. I found it terrifying trying not to hit these and would love to see them fully joined up. Might be hard as its on a hill but they are blind to view. Although they never damaged me, I'm sure others would not be as lucky.

Fever Pitch by Pardonias (non GCCC)

Three races new to me in a row :-) This was ran in muscles and i felt this led to the track feeling somewhat empty. I wished there were more corners, less straights. However I believe its meant for faster cars? And most likely for contact racing? This would have eliminated this feeling and allowed the fantastic propping to shine through. Banked apex was perfect, and the chicane seemed like it would have been a great challenge in a faster vehicle. The space allowed between corners would have been great in contact. From first play and poor memory, I think this is one of the best examples of a contact race I've ever raced. I'll have to play this again.

Inside Out GP by atheistsw

A race designed for customs to be set off. The technicality works great with slower vehicles and the propping felt right throughout. On corner 1, lag left me without brakes and I went very wide. I knew the two trucks were at the outside of the second corner and i was so wide i purposefully went completely around these which led to bigger problems. I'd suggest a third truck, or barrier to prevent going up the wrong side of the road and finding difficult getting back to the track.

Danish Tunnels .62 by stronktank

Another first time race for me. All sorts of problems with lampposts dancing amongst other odd behaviours. I believe the first checkpoint didn't register for the first half of an almost full lobby. Most likely connection issues with players and rockstar. The father away the first checkpoint is, the more likely it is that it will register. I liked the flow and difficulty of the track a lot. I think the final hairpin would feel more in place if there were barriers on the outside. It's so easy to miss the final tunnel.

Lucky Tree Circuit by jimbob-STROUD

Another track new to me. I'm finding it difficult to recall the track, possibly due to several races being in this area tonight. My notes tell me there was a great flow which i can't fault. A great mix of corners and muscles felt like the right vehicle choice. My overall mark for it was one of the higher ones of the night.

Only Prestigiousness by AshtarGalactic

A really nice track layout which would, imo, benefit from some tweaks to define its corners slightly more. The props which are there work fine, as do the checkpoints. I felt that if there was no permanent prop clutter, the race would be brilliant. Said clutter is almost impossible to eradicate and I'm unsure there's anything you could do about this. Change would probably entirely undo the good feel around track.

Feltzer 2.32 by y2jayjayo0853

A difficult track with some propped inside, open outside corners waiting for the over eager to go too wide. A couple of soft barriers to help anyone going very wide might help the downhill sections. I never went too wide myself and the corners were thrilling, really enjoyed hitting the dust occasionally. A great track which is excellent as is and my talk of barriers might be completely wrong.

Rapid Vapid Circuit by deejayb1874

Raced in sports cars, a fast paced track which I don't think would work with the slowest cars. Propping is great but I'd prefer to see the second to last corner changed to eliminate the racing line going straight through two small signs and over the small median. Many people would perhaps disagree, it would then be a prop heavy corner, going into a tight straight which might ruin the lovely flow and feel to the track.

Familiar? by Lewis-R--

Some of the heavy, traffic light poles stand large at the inside of many corners. I'd definitely put any prop near them to protect them from causing grief on the race track. I think these ones are the most destructive. The hairpin felt punishing, due to the lampposts either side. If the hairpin was removed it would leave the corner as a tight turn anyway. Also freeing up a lot of props to allow make a more conveniently positioned hairpin.

Downtown Sports Circuit by barfy86

Probably the fastest race of the night, perhaps my favourite. The high speed of the track leaves propping the right areas a tricky choice. From my first play I can't remember exactly where they were, though a couple may be slightly unneeded. Maybe beneficial in another area and it always depends which car your driving! Definitely want to try it with the other vehicle classes too.

La Mesa Market by NittyDon 

Played this track quite a few times now and its great fun. Usually in muscles, tonight was sports I think? I always feel like it needs a faster vehicle though. I've never done it in supers and my feeling is, maybe it's better suited to the top class?

Militech by AJBrewer

Races around the open areas of the airport runways require carefully placement, to define the corners of track. Without using the right analog stick, its very difficult to find the racing line. This race found a nice bridge between both difficulties. With the barriers placed deep and wide to give every chance of avoiding a large crash. The falling fences were perhaps from someone lagging and taking them out whilst mid air? Around the hangar section. I think most of the props were visible at night, would maybe be better with no black barriers though, just yellow or two tone.

Written on mobile, apologies if parts make no sense.

Fun trying to keep up with evenyone at such a low level with no upgrades

Hey Don, will try it out, but please put the submission in this thread so it doesn't get missed, thanks!
