send me private messages for feed back so it's easier for other people to find tracks to test.

Platform?

Here's another version of CNLS GP, which is more of a test version. Some of the less-necessary barriers have been omitted in favour of shipping containers that properly shape the track. Visibility is quite poor but the containers will be changed for tyre walls on PS4. Again, any and all criticism is welcome on any aspect of the track.

GUDBEAR RATING 8.05/10

~Visual: 1.5/2 (could be improved)
Not a great looking track, but there's not a lot you can do about scenery downtown. Some variety in props may add to the visual appeal. I understand the draw towards using tires and barriers only, I grew up watching C.A.R.T. And the idea of a temporary street course is very high on my list of appealing track styles, add some flair. Beach flags, or signs, turn markers, pilots, anything.

~Technical: 1.25/2 (could be improved)
I find this track to be a bit confusing. The spacing of the tire stacks and tire lines and striped barriers doesn't really guide the racer around the track. When there are equal sized spaces between barriers, it's only the checkpoints that show the course. (Eg. Checkpoint 32) The course has some nice turns and effort was put into making chicanes and a confluence of two racing paths that use the same barriers. However, the barriers are confusing, and the tire lines are placed in locations that bring the race to a halt not only for the driver who hits them, but for everyone behind that driver. I always like to race a track on morning setting, it gives me an idea of what props will disappear. There is also a turn where the barriers and tire stacks run right into a wall, which to me seems like a trap, but I'm sure it wasn't meant to be.

~Creativity: 2/2
Unique course, not a typical path through the fastest bits, but not too zig zaggy either. A well thought out path. Where I took away points for the look of the barriers, and the confusing layout, I am awarding full points for creativity for 3 reasons.
Creative use of chicanes, creative path, including using 1 barrier to create 2 turns, and the inclusion of the pit lane. I am still trying to develop a good way to use pit lanes, this incarnation is unique and clever, I don't know if I love it but I admire the attempt.

~Speed: 1.8/2
This track seems to have 2 separate sections, tight and technical, wide open and arcade. Some of the corners are hard to carry speed around, e.g. Heading into the ER lane at the hospital.


~Playability: 1.5/2
I have played this track a few times now with ransoms, and it seems like most people are having trouble seeing the props, sometimes they appear out of mirage, which happens with tire lines a lot. With some changes, the playability could be vastly improved. Large groups get a bit hung up on certain corners, but there are still people clicking retry, so it can't be all that bad.
That having been said, this is MY opinion, the humble opinion of a Carpenter who drives a Cinqocento, not a professional race engineer.
I don't do these reviews to insult or discourage anyone, I do them to add to the community, and hopefully receive feedback on my own creations. It can be difficult to be honest about your opinion and still sound polite.

GUDBEAR RATING 9.2/10

~Visual: 1.75/2
Driving under the windmills is not as thrilling as flying under them; but this track does its best! Cohesive prop style, nice setting, cleanly placed barriers and props all combine to make a very well crafted track. Where I have subtracted points is in beautification and variety. The real problem is the washed out colour of the dirt track. It's all the same tone the whole time, it makes the shadows very dark, but also creates shady sections, which are used very well on this track. There are only a few prop styles used, which creates a very clean track and clean look, but I think it could be improved with a few props to try to bring out the earth of the landscape.

~Technical: 1.9/2
I think this track is very technical, I have raced it with coupes, which I usually will do in an off road situation, and man is it a great course. It doesn't restrict any cars, and doesn't give any real advantage to a higher ride height. I'm about 40 seconds off of my brawler time, with my F620, but it doesn't feel like it. Cleanly placed props. Not confusing, not overly complicated. Great use of space, overlap, elevation change, traction and speed. 0.1 lost for not telegraphing how tight some chicanes are. (And because I'm a prick at heart)

~Creativity: 1.8/2
Great use of the natural terrain, great integration of props, great course, great overlap, nice embedded container jump, cohesive style, cohesive look, runaway sentence. I really like this track. It seems weird that it side faulted as 3 laps, but it's not a chore.
Beautification, it matters to me, maybe not to others, but this is not a committee. This is just my stupid opinion, man. I'd like to see more decoration. Maybe signs or corner markings, or flipped over junky cars. It's got such great rally style, I suggest trying it on coupes, or sports. Really great chicanes, but with all the spinning blades, no effort was taken to really incorporate the windmills. Not very quixotic.

~Speed: 2/2
Fats the, slow, in between. Up, down, flat. Speed vs traction is important on this track. Every time that I roll my brawler, I remember that fact. Some sections give you a boost, some sections give you an ulcer. Get in, go fast, get paid.

~Playability: 1.75/2 (could be improved)
Great playability, good for large groups, good for time trails, non contact, and all car classes. Not too tight, not too tough, no tricks, no traps.
No GTA weapons or boosts. -0.25

So, here is my 2nd track showcase. Let me know what you think
