Massive dilemma. I'm looking back at LSGP and the only area that hasn't been looked at, tweaked, refined, etc is the LS customs loop. Well I've recently had a look at it and I feel sick. I may have found a much better variation to that part, but it does change the track a bit (there certainly won't be any more 1:35/6/7s or whatever). I need you guys to test that part out for me and let me know if you think it's an improvement. This is how I want you to try it:  Try the "left-right chicane" as a fairly tight prospect and also as more of a "straight line" type prospect. Either way, let me know. Probably best done on own unless there's a few of you who are all going to try it. You can keep repeating that loop by just turning right by the tunnel too. Cheers! |

This is a tough one indeed. The change would make you slow down, but coming back around towards the tunnel would be quicker. On the other hand I really enjoy shooting between the streetlights and the buildings. If I'm going to cast my vote, I'd have to say that if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Keep the original layout.

You tried it though? It feels really nice and less "clunky". I'll sleep on it. I'm pretty tired haha

Definitely smoother if driven correctly. But yeah, sleep on it.

I've not tried it yet, but I like the idea of the new route better, personally. I'll give it a shot in a few solo races later tonight.

Just did some solo hotlaps, and overall I do like the new route better. It's hard to test properly because CP 11 is placed in a way that assumes you're turning right, and it's not clear how close inside you can cut the new corners, but the extra speed entering CP 13 makes that turn much more interesting. For me, the new route added ~7 seconds to my lap time with the Entity.
Would it be too inconvenient to create a new track with the new layout just for crew testing purposes? In particular, knowing how far inside you can cut could make a significant difference..

Though I didn't feel like LSGP needed more tweaking, the new route is really fun IMHO. I occasionally get into trouble in the CP11 turn when close to other drivers, resulting in someone hitting the walls, so I think the extra piece of track could help avoiding crashs and giving you better chances to overtake. I like it. :-)

I've created a track based around that new section on xbox so for those who are online tonight I'll invite people in to check it out, since I'm not going to publish it. I'll also be trying out spectating so I'll leave before the race starts then join back in just after to see how everyone copes with the new corners. Be online at about 9pm uk time and I'll send in game invites

For anyone who couldn't make it here's a vid of the new section. Let me know what you think on first look:

Looking at the video, I'd say it's smoother and less problematic than the current version. Even with a clean lap, when passing Los Santos Customs you could often hit an already broken and lying on the ground lamppost. I'd say that's the most irritating part of the track.

That looks like a really fun, and well fitting addition.
