I have just patched in a fun new track made by Tez. It's currently still in 'test mode' hence only available for custom events, not as part of the leagues.

It's long and demanding, I'm thinking perfect for 1-lap deathraces or rally style events.

This is Evan's 35th racetrack/arena

Thanks Tez!

In SS? Please, Please, Dudes... make some other maps in other towns so people will actually move South, east, west. Having said that, Tez, glad to see your into making maps and I am looking forward to trying it out.

Longo, racetracks wont make people move out of SS, if they want their tracks to actually be played it has to be up north really.

When was the last time you saw someone race on the FL or Sars tracks? Hell, they're nice but I'm not going to run race crews there even back when I was playing, it was to much to bother with and nobody races there.

What sars track?

I race the FL track every chance I get.

I dont race the GW tracks because they are no fun solo.  Fun with other players to mess with though.  Whirlwind is the worst.  That one I think is just a rush-job.  Race in circles around a pole?  worse than Nascar.

I would love to see more tracks in BL.  Those RARELY come up in the randomly spawned events in Lobby.

MORE PED arenas would draw me out more too.  I have people in every town but mostly concentrated where Ped events occur or where I haul goods.  GW and FL would be logical for Ped vs Ped or Ped Vs Critter (make Glad pay $$$ to non-slaves or better yet, parts to fir our cars.  FL Scav town?)

and as always...  Morgan Ped...  Morgan Ped...  Morgan ped...

yup, that works.

Ace!

In addition:

to mind this is a really fun track; challenging, lots of fun, different, dangerous.

Not sure what the dev of the track thinks, but I would not change anything.

Ran it a few times & aside from both jumps needing a little fixing & the AI in low grip cars not making the first turn, it's pretty much good to go.

Anyone notices anything that might need fixing lemme know.

Just change the start so that the AI can actually make it onto the track with a packed field, and make the paths the AI take smoother and easier for them.

I was thinking about the start too at one point, but... it could be part of this track allure, the fight to get onto it.

+1
this is jockeying for position from the word go. knocking people off, down holes, into walls/poles, etc is what this track is about. why not right from the start...

I have not looked at this map yet, but is there a way to avoid the jumps?

Have all the current stock race chassis been tested on the jumps?

The picture is small, but it looks like some of the stock race chassis would not make it across.

Would be fine if AI wasn't involved. Most races involve a majority field of AI. If most of the cars spend the time stuck at the start, there's no challenge involved.

I don't think most chassis, if any, could make it across. However they are just shortcuts, you can go around. And I think he's also shortening them...

Maybe if they had longer run ups, couldn't get fast enough on that last one in a stock moray ever.

Falls into the slow I'm fighting the terrain more then actually racing cat. It's interesting, but I can't seem to get fast enough to have any fun, to busy puttering around objects to get any speed. And that puttering removes a lot of the risk.
