Hold your horses, I've not driven it yet plus there's two tricky transitions to sort. I may be able to have a quick route test ready in about 15 mins

 

Haha you're trying tho, would be a really cool track if done right as you describe, besides if it's mainly on the road you should have the props you need to get the couple of tricky spots right! I believe in you!  

[JuniorChubb 3,360]

Just done 10 laps on No Tranlsation Spa...

I got lost in the barren greenlands and forgot what corner was coming up way to often and nearly fell asleep too. Can we get a pit stop and coffee break after every 5 laps please?

Also guys any feedback for Monza would be cool, I am sure Squizzel will want to confirm its use after Spa tonight.

Mah has mentioned he is not a fan of the landing target curbs. If there is an overwhelming consensus these may change. However driving over them is optional, if you want to risk it for a smother line do so, the safe line is to avoid them.

DJ mentioned the cones that mark out the slow down strips. They are prone to get knocked down, however we should all know the track by the time we race it and know not to cut the corners, the cones are for your first few laps after that you should be fine. However if there is an overwhelming consensus that they need to change we will look at changing them.

@JuniorChubb Monaco?

[MAHALOKA 61]

@JuniorChubb the 'monaco'-link leads to 'retro arms race' lol, im guessing u mean 'monza'?

I hate dynamic props, they always seem to get knocked over and can end up in the middle of the road where someone skids on them. Personally I don't think you need any props marking where the slow down strips are. We should all have practiced the race and know where they are.

Monaco, Monza, what's the bloody difference... 

@djw180 no dynamic props could be a viable option.

[Crawford1872 2,587]

Not driven the track yet, but the target props are pretty much the only ones that don't have hidden bits that can catch the cars. Raise them up a little bit if people can drive over them. 

[JuniorChubb 3,360]

People are supposed to drive over them Ally, they are there too replace the stunt track curbs if they chose to do so. 

Thanks for pointing out the mistakes Mah and Squizzel, all updated now... Sorry to ask now but the track was 'ready' well over a week ago, just a little concerned that I will get a list of last minute changes to cram in on Game of Thrones Night 

Edited August 21, 2017 by JuniorChubb

[Squirrel 5,180]

As far as I'm concerned the track is good enough. The dynamic poles don't cause the same issues as the destructible barriers. I don't think I've ever seen one lying around on track after it's been hit, if you're still going over the part of track where they were then you're going offline too much anyway.

Ahh cool so you're using them for a different way than I first thought, look forward to giving it a go. 

As we have established I have much still  to learn in the creatorsphere

We gotta try out that Shareplay in Creator thing, tips and tricks can save you hours of trial and error.

Well that was depressing. I saw like five cars all race. And kind of shameful as I managed to hit at least two of them.

[Squirrel 5,180]

Safe and boring but it was the track we chose out of the two available. Won't be featuring again, it's already off my list along with other tracks from the same creator. 

[MAHALOKA 61]

@Clydicalitypls. remove that annoying horn from your car.

it f**ked up my race-concentration at silverstone, slightly less at hungaroring and today it really was very annoying

would have finished in front of u on both silverstone and tonight at spa.

thank you.

My POV below!

Start at the beginning of the video : I suggest watching the first two laps, some great battles once again with @Mythaga, a lot of action, untill @MAHALOKA binned it in the chicane and went for a beer in my grandstand

On lap three I had my fastest lap of the race. Perfect timing, this allowed me to get close to P2 and P3 and get some breathing space behind me

@Potato and @Fido_le_muet were battling for second, managed to get closer to them each lap and at 11:45 i was able to get past Fido due to a mistake in the chicane. I thought I could drive away from him and catch up on Potato, but he stayed right behind me and at 15:10, I lost some time on the curbs and he got me again. After that, I didn't manage to get closer anymore and brought my car to a respectable 4th place. The third time in a row... I really need a podium next race...

After seeing the video, I realise that I went wide a few times on the exit of the chicane. Fido also did it and I guess a lot of others as well. In our defence, that happens irl too on that spot

seriously, i feel heartbroken after all the shit-talk and downvoting u guys did, why use the track?  there aren't any better ones...

the creator is a friend of me from japan, he was overjoyed when i told him his track would be used for an event. he didnt have a copy of gtav for himself, he used to borrow it from a friend. when u asked to me to ask him to make some changes he even spent around $50 to buy a new gtav-game to apply the changes that were requested, within 2days time.

u guys should shame urself in a corner, really sad imo

 

[Squirrel 5,180]

It was used because it was the best available on socialclub at the time. 

Responsibilty of the track selection lies with myself and I'm setting a high standard for this series and the creations involved. We've made tracks at full size before and the scaled down speed of GTA just doesn't work for fun competitive racing. 

Ive spent a long time testing a lot of different circuits, in a lot of cases there hasn't been any tracks where I'm happy with the length, scenery and other factors and I've rebuilt the track to the standard required for this competition. 

Sky tracks in general aren't as fun to race on, lack of reference points and when everything is the same colour it makes the track lifeless and dull. 

Poor checkpoint placement doesn't help too. 

The guy is a talented creator, his tracks are smooth and accurate but GTA needs a little more than that to make it interesting to race on. 

Ask him to take a look at some of the tracks used in the series, in particular Monza, Monaco, Hungaroring, Silverstone and Suzuka. These recreations may not be 100% accurate in terms of layout but the way they are blended in with the existing game scenery makes a world of difference when it comes to racing.

Not everyone knows that background story of the track. I agree that the downvoting wasn't very clever. Its a very good remake, almost every corner feels like in other racing games. The reason for the downvoting and shit talk is that we raced with pfisters. The track is too long for sports cars. If we raced on it with supercars, you wouldnt hear anyone complaining. Definitly going to keep the track bookmarked!

[Crawford1872 2,587]

Lol he should ask for a refund...  if something is crap and it's not by someone I know or am racing with at the time then I feel perfectly within my rights to tear into it, that's how the real world works. If he had been there then it would have been different because we would have had the opportunity to be more constructive. However if anyone had talked like I did during the race directly to him I would have been embarrassed on a human level because that's cruel, unnecessary and it's not what we're about.  That's the bit to remember.

Yes I noticed that. You'll notice when I upload my race that I was looking backwards on the start/finish straight on every lap, and on every lap you were both track extending and kerb boosting. I know that I wasn't perfectly between the lines the entire race, hit a few kerbs here and there, but doing it on the same corner every lap is kinda taking the piss imo.

I'll make sure to put my turd on a pedestal next time I take a shit.

It got used, since it was the closest to the real track from the options we had, but that doesn't make it good. That was talked about throughout the decision process. Your opinion isn't very unbiased either, given that he's your friend. There was no reason to make him feel like we loved the track. There's also a lot more he could do to improve the track and make it good, mostly in terms of CP placement and athmospheric props (stands, trees, buildings, etc.), but it's not there and that's why the track is dreary as hell, since it's all gray asphalt and barriers in the sky. Nothing to tell any part of the track apart or give the feeling of the real track. It's very similar to the real version layout-wise, but that's all.

Good battle once again @Realjaysee ?

Not sure exactly what happened but it all went a bit pete tong within a lap for me. I was 5th having a good dice with JC, but got boxed in behind a couple of people which slowed me up and I lost momentum, which allowed @JuniorChubb & @Protocawl past. 

In my haste to get back past Chubb I made contact with him at the hairpin when I misjudged his braking (sorry mate) which held me up further...

Managed to get past Chubb legitimately a lap or so later then spent the rest of the race chasing down Proto.

Managed to catch him on the last lap but he 'did a JC' and binned in with only a couple of corners to go! 

So back to my default postion of 5th lol

[Fido_le_muet 5,198]

My POV : 

Qualifying : 

Race : 

I don't really have anything to say of interest for the stewarts. 

I did occasionaly go over the curb here and there. As @Potato said, I went over the curb at the last chicane a few times. Know that it was unintentionnal every time. I was pushing hard to cath you/defend my position from @Realjaysee.

You can even see that I let go off the gas when I thought I was too far out. I even let @Realjaysee pass me when it happened. 

@Realjaysee went over the line as well at that spot but like he said, it happens almost every lap IRL so I didn't think much of it. 

The stewarts are law and it is their call if it needs reviewing
