Cutting Corners is pretty much seen as the official test track of the crew, but where do you guys go to test out a new car and your skills or to get ammped up for a racing session?
My main two are my own creations in my sig: Lap Vinewood and Easy Corners
EC for testing cars since it's easy to be consistent there (hence the name) Lap Vinewood is just a joy to drive, it's an easy blast with curves there provide enough technicality to wake me up for an upcoming racing
I do occasionally practice on Cutting Corners and Inner Loop though when I feel I need test something I know or have learned or to not get used to my own creations that much. That said, I usually create my own races and put them in a playlist for a lesiurely solo drive and practice the roads there within.

For power testing I will use either my own Devil's Playground GP, Hipster Happy Hour, or LSGP.

I personally don't think CC is the best track to test on. When the game came out and Broughy started doing his tests it was probably the best therefore he has to carry on testing there. Since the creator came out I think there is better out there. For me it's LSGP because it has a good mix of slower, technical corners and long fast straights so it is a pretty good all round track. I also use on of my own creations, Sandy Shores Grand Prix, for the exact same reason but also because the roads aren't as wide so you can't just floor it round a corner and have to brake to stay on track. Interesting topic by the way

For the past few weeks I've been using The North Loop, but the problem with it is it doesn't punish mistakes as there's no posts or anything to hit.

I usually test cars in freeroam. Maybe LSGP but i know my reference times only for sports and super. Speaking of getting amped up I always want to start a race when i hear this, great intro song for F1.

I don't really practice much.I find driving around a track by myself to be too boring and I usually end up leaving to play something else.I should probably try doing noncontact races with others and trying there.

North Loop has been since I found out I was in the endurance race, but my lap times aren't great, could do with someone showing me how the hell people get under 5 minute laps because I can't get near that...

I can do it on a bike, but don't have a quick enough custom car for it. Soon though but I imagine it'll be a struggle.

Got to be "Drift King", It was one of the first Rockstar Verified tracks. Although it is not verified anymore, due to space on R* servers, I think. So now you have to Bookmark it. It's a nice tight track around the Docks, nice lines can be achieved, with little lamp posts in the way, Yay.

I usually run a variety of my own tracks, Underdogs tracks, Bekjenets tracks and some crew tracks when breaking in new cars. I think using the same track over and over runs a big risk of getting too accustomed to that one track, and is more track practice then car practice.
