[XB1] Popolac's Track Creations

My Thoughts

Firstly, if you consider these to be proper racing circuits, I'd recommend making all of the tracks available to all classes. Cycles is obviously not needed, but you are missing Vans which, although they aren't used often, it could mean an event host cannot consider your track for use in his/her event. Plus, I like to do Van races sometimes in my playlists.

Secondly, I like the descriptions for your tracks. No rubbish and none of them are just random symbols, etc. Descriptions always (for me) give a good first impression for a track. A rubbish or no description usually makes me think the track I'm about to play won't be as good. Obviously, that isn't always the case, but it helps to have a good description.

Cascabel Circuit

I really like the layout and the idea behind this track. It flows nicely, you can see other areas of the track which is a nice touch too. I think it has potential, but there is a big issue with it and that is that most of the props you have chosen to use are not the best props to use nowadays. The green and yellow metal barriers have dodgy hitboxes making them not safe to use. Tubes sunk into the ground as apex props aren't great for the same reason. Lastly, sticky tyre props are bad because your car is kinda glued to them if you hit them. Those are fine if you sink the tyre bit into the ground and only show the advert board or arrows or whatever.

If you could use some better props like the stunt target landing zone props found in the 'stunt set-pieces' section as apex props, for example, then this track would make it into the streams, because the idea behind it is good.

Galileo Circuit

Again, you have the right idea and the layout is nice. Another thing I do like is the use of custom-made elevation. You used the stunt props to make us go higher and lower, and the view is very good. The pit-lane is nice and easy to spot and well propped.

There is a tube sunk down as a barrier to block a corner cut and seemingly a tree. However, the prop is half in the tree, half out, so I'd budge that over a bit so it covers the lot. Again, tubes aren't the best, so I'd recommend to use the prop I suggested. You also use the hurdles as an outside barrier for a corner. They are not good as they aren't smooth. There are bits sticking in and out, so if you go wide and need the barrier to support you, you will just hit a part of it that sticks out and stop dead, potentially causing an incident behind you.

Palomino Circuit

Again, a nice layout. Tracks aren't often made in this area, as it isn't easy. My favourite part is that hairpin towards the end of the lap. It is well propped and fun to complete. However, the metal barriers are there again, however they aren't too in your face if you get what I mean, on MOST parts of the track. However, where the metal barriers are used to barrier and apex the 90 degree corners at the start and at the end of the lap need to go. They will just cause many issues. The track piece itself is fine, but not with the outside barriers. There are better props you could use. Therefore, I'd suggest watching some of Broughy's most recent CC streams if not already, as he explains quite a bit why they don't work and what could be a better alternative.

Finally, to answer your question...


If you were to ever to submit one of these, I would Cascabel Circuit down as an event track, Palomino Circuit as an event track and Galileo Circuit (Long) down as a casual track.

I hope you can take my feedback and improve your tracks even more to make them awesome. Please let me know if you have any questions that I can answer or if you update of of these tracks again at some point and I'll be sure to play them.

Firstly, the bolded text is your responses to my original feedback which is not bold and in italics. (Just for easier reading)

Yes, use the stunt track pieces with no barriers and use custom-made barriers instead. The only ones I can recommend to use that don't eat up your prop limit are the big, tall stunt raised pieces. You can flip them over so the top is smooth and sink them down so they are in line with the track. This is time-consuming, but good tracks do take time.

Yes, use the bullseye landing piece. They have much better hitboxes.

Yes, sink the tire part of the prop under the ground, and leave the advert sign so you'll hit that instead. Another option could be using the stunt blocks as they aren't sticky props.

If propped well, then no. If it contains metal barriers, yes.

Stunt track pieces with metal barriers are fine when they aren't 'in your face', hopefully you get what I mean. Basically, just don't use them to barrier ANY type of chicane, hairpin or any other types of corner. Unless say for example, it is a Grapeseed track and you have the road and a big area of grass/dirt either side of the road. You could put those metal barriers on the dirt as that is technically not the racing line or part of the track.

Good stuff!

Hope this helps answer your questions.

Awesome, I look forward to seeing what you can come up with.

I think I have final versions of my three circuits ready, unless there's an issue someone spots.
