RACEWARS - BEST OF SEASON 7 - 8/6 @ 8PM GMT

[PS4] Z0101 GP by some12hate
+ + Really like this kind of "indoor" track that looks fantastic at night with the bright orange walls illuminating the way around a fun technical circuit. Enough variation in height and corners to keep things interesting and construction wise this seems pretty spot on to me. 
+ - There are a couple of sections with high inside props which make the upcoming sections hard to decipher. Nothing race ruining though but just enough to make lap 1 that bit harder than it should be.
Maze Bank Pantarean by Dirt-Truck
+ + Anytime I get to use my Panto puts a smile on my face and this suited it nicely. Propping was another classic neatly aligned 2 tone arrangement, as functional as it was visually appealing. 
+ - CP 8 would be better 3 chevrons (double CP 9 placing the first CP far down the road is probably the best solution) to better indicate the severity of the turn
- - CP 12 the outer wall would be better-aligned parallel to traffic flow to guide racers onto the track rather than provide an unexpected obstacle after the corner. 
Devil's Junk Circuit by lancerevowrc
+ + Yet another gem to add to the Lancer collection; impeccable neatness coupled with the usual swing of medium to fast corners in the City Centre. What sets this apart from other Lancer tracks is the variation in turns, in particular, the purpose built section in the middle sector adding a extra point of interest. Even I can't nitpick over anything here. 
P-GP: High Planes Drifter by prototypetom
+ + Fastly becoming as predictable as Lancer, in all the right ways with another weaving multi-level track that looks and drives great. 
+ - CP 4 can go (giving longer to prepare for 5). Being ultra critical CP 7 narrows on exit but has the rather frustrating blimp prop as outer propping with it's unpredictable hitbox, a wall parallel to traffic flow would be marginal better (although the blimps so visible there's really no good excuse for hitting it). CP 17 can go (close to 18), 19 can probably go as well. Nit-picking aside this is a great construction in a area that's rarely been used this well. 
Black Forest Circuit by geenopa
+ + The prop porn experience that's become the norm for geenopa's tracks is on full blast around another top notch forest track. The counter-banking of CP 12 to 13 is a particular highlight, as well as the obviously unique lighting structure which looks amazing! Quite possibly my favourite of geenopa's tracks; as fun a driving experience as a visual one.  
+ - CP 6 hairpin is a little too easy to cut for my liking, even if it was mainly me taking advantage of the cut it needs propping off/slow downs adding IMO. 
*Vinewood Circuit by @mahaloka
+ + These short snappy tracks with the perfect juxtaposition of hairpins and fast sections will always rightly go down well with the short circuit meaning anyone can soon get into the flow of hotlapping.
+ - The slow down strips will always be a point of debate but I didn't mind them generally as they were mostly visible and set back far enough. The chicane of CP 4 just doesn't work though as it's too blind with the tree blocking the view on the inside. Removing the high inside trees (which I'm surprised look like they were placed rather than placed) should be enough to make this section much more drivable. 

PLAYLIST 2

Nürburgring GP-Strecke by atheistsw
+ + Nicely improved since when it was in RW originally with the CPs on the straights largely removed and the pesky chicane section now much clearer. Great construction with enough elevation changes to add that all important character coupled with the usual grandstand flourishes. 
+ - enigmatim managed to find a gap in the propping at CP 11 so went from a swim...meh there's always someone 
Senora Circuit by xxR-U-Wxx
Same as last review and not on forums. Neatly made, nice enough to drive but like so many Sandy Shores tracks the onslaught of 90 degree turns gets a tad predictable. 
Terminal 51.1 Revolution Dirt-Truck
+ + Another excuse to use my Panto, yay. Very raceable track with the perfect mix of fast flowing sections to hairpins/more technical sections for my liking. Still the same as the last review though with the jumpy bridge. 
Topanga Circuit by geenopa
+ + CP 3 is done very nicely, a usual choke point smoothed around nicely and the fast chicane on the bridge is a particular highlight too. The track itself drives nicely, a full throttle tour around the hills but it's the picture-card perfect bridge system that drops the jaw here. It's like playing a work of art. 
+ - CPs could be doubled along the finishing straight's wide road to make it slightly more appropriate for contact racing. Outside barriers could be joined with barriers to stop them jutting out on the outside of turns (CP 3 to 4 is the worse offender) but that's obviously far more 's fault than the creators. 
Sharonstone Circuit by lancerevowrc
+ + Distinctively a Lancer track with perfect build quality that adds that little bit extra to a familiar area. Silky smooth as per. 
+ - The CP 7 hairpin is such a pain as the polls rather block the racing line but their doesn't seem to be a good way to avoid them (could block off Left hand side but this would cause obstruction over the previous crest). 
- - CP 14 seems misaligned to me as it points straight but it's an ultra fast chicane to the left. I think the simpliest fix is to nudge the CP forward and to the left to guide racers better (personally I'd place a circular CP but that's not the "cool" way to do it I know). I'd always gain a place here anyway and finished a rather respectful 12th in my little Casco largely as I'd remembered this corner IMHO. 
Tataviam Bay Circuit by geenopa
+ + Beautiful circuit around the bay with the turn in the cove at CP 14 the particular highlight, probably the best section out of any of the races in this high-quality list. 
+ - It's always hard to review this kind of thing, visually it's fantastic but it's a little one pace with bits of cliff on the track means this probably isn't quite at the level, drive experience side, of the other geenopa races here. 
Inner City Sprint 2 by lancerevowrc
+ + Neat, fast flowing...jeez I need a thesaurus. Good stuff and objectively nothing to dislike here with the classic set of city centre turns coupled with the distinctive neat propping style making this a perfectly nice drive around the city.  
+ - CP 8 is a little bit too jumpy for my liking, particularly leading into a turn as it does. The least good Lancer race of the 3 here for me...wish I could have something this good that still could be the "least good" of anything tho   Construction wise this is the usual high quality although it just doesn't quite excite me somehow.

All fantastic races in their own right with an off the charts level of builds on show. Thanks to both hosts for a fantastic season and of course all creators for their tracks.
