Since my race collection is growing, I'll just keep it in one single thread instead of one per track.
General information
Unless otherwise specified, race is set to Non-Contact by default. The reason for this is simply to make the default settings usable in public lobbies without the insane crashing, backwards driving and catchup/slipstream. Proper racers know how to set them to contact modes anyway.
Also unless otherwise specified, races are 30 car races and lap mode.
All tracks have every vehicle class available, but most of them are (in my mind at least) targetting one or a few classes. I don't plan on putting any ramps, wallrides and other silly stuff in this thread. I don't plan on making such races at all, but if I do, they'll be elsewhere. These tracks are supposed to be reasonably raceable.
There should be an image of the track as shown in the social club, and a video of a single lap. The lap videos are not anywhere near perfect laps, I just made sure I didn't crash into too many things on my way around.
Los Santos City
Rockford GP
Race in Rockford Hills and Burton, near the Los Santos customs, primarily a Muscle car race with both straights and hairpins. Plenty of barriers on the lamp posts and sidewalks.
Video:
Seoul Twist Circuit
Taking place in Little Seoul and Rockford Hills, this is a Sports race in two main sections. One fast section through Rockford, and a twisty one in Little Seoul. A decent combination of speed and traction is highly recommended.
Video:
Vinewood Hills GP
Another Sports race, this time spending most of the time through the Vinewood Hills and around Lake Vinewood. Traction is king here.
Video:
East Vinewood Park
Time for a race for the Coupes class. It should work fine with Muscle as well. Not too many tight corners, and some straights to keep the speed of your Zion up.
Video:
Los Santos Port
LS Port Motorplex
This one is intended for the Compacts. It covers almost all of the Terminal area of the Ports, and has checkpoints deliberately placed to prevent too much corner cutting, so beware.
Video:
Los Santos International Airport
LSIA Classic Raceway
Invading the airport with this race for Sports Classics. It should also work well with Super and Sports, and to be fair, pretty much any class, given how open and flat the airport is.
Video:
Sandy Shores / Grand Senora Desert
Sandy Ring
A shorter and more curvy track that's mostly within Sandy Shores. Mainly for Sports, but should work for Muscle and other classes too.
Video:
East Desert Loop
The desert loops are both high speed tracks. The east loop defaults to Muscle, but you'll need the faster ones. Sports and Super will of course also work. The east one tightens up a lot more through Sandy Shores than the west one does.
Video:
West Desert Loop
The west loop of course covers the west part of the Grand Senora Desert. This is almost entirely a high speed track, so top speed will be very useful.
Video:
Paleto Bay
Paleto Bay Club Circuit
The club circuit is a Compacts race within the town area of Paleto Bay. Few longer straights and quite a bit of cornering on this one.
Video:
Paleto Bay Raceway
The raceway is a Sports race that extends out from the town of Paleto Bay, and has the tightest triple path of all tracks. Running this one with contact racing will require discipline.
