DavidCore89 7,404 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 (edited) Lately I have been really enjoying both racing and creating shorter lap races. They all consist of some short straights, quick corners and will always have at least one chicane. Compacts only. Anyway, here's the race: 'Put your racing skills to the test in this short lap race in the Rockford Hills area consisting of short straights and quick turns. Works best with default settings'. Feedback welcome .

zmurko 7,622 Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 I tried this yesterday. You do like your chicanes. It could be your signature feature. 1 Quote S U N D A Y R A C I N G L E A G U E Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1969-rockford-hills-raceway-not-ready-to-be-played/#findComment-29731 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted October 1, 2014 Author Share Posted October 1, 2014 (edited) Updated. Added a concrete barrier at the chicane to eliminate those who like to cut corners. Blocked off the area of turn 1 which was causing a lot of players to over-shoot the corner, the area was tough to block with just barriers due to the terrain and the surroundings so I had to use a few cabins - either way it does the job. Updated the screen shot too.

G-Town.Rebell 20 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Hm that's pity. I remember some time ago "Blah Blah beaten you´re time" was popping up. Maybe there is already a petition their. I will look Does the records have separate classes ? I mean does it count when i beat the fastest lap time of a sports car with a motorbike ? Your race track is challenging and makes me want to drive faster and faster. But it would be good to have the "non contact" option, for doing the race with randoms too (often i dont find someone to join). I will drive it tonight again... ithink i found the perfect car for good lap times Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1969-rockford-hills-raceway-not-ready-to-be-played/#findComment-48773 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try here http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/games/gtav/jobs/job/Ik49k9CT202ATh4ypQxp4g?platformId=null I did have that world record in the non-contact section but I have just noticed I'm down to 2nd place now. The records don't get separated by classes unfortunately, so yes it will count if you beat a sports car lap time with a motorcycle, I always use the Bati 801 to beat the world records if motorcycles are available to be chosen, when doing a wheelie it is the fastest vehicle in the game and it's handling is awesome. The non-contact option is available for my track in this thread, it should already be set to that by default.

G-Town.Rebell 20 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 The 2nd place in a world ranking is still great... i would be proud if i would listed at page 2! I didn't drove many races till now. Do you mean you are doing wheelies after every slowdown or at the start / booster ? The bati is good...but i am in love with this new bike already ^^ Its driving verry smooth (not so hectic / extremly direct .. =good for noobs like me ^^). I noticed it yesterday. I am very thankfull to R* for the non contact option and for every host that chooces this:) Cheers Max Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/1969-rockford-hills-raceway-not-ready-to-be-played/#findComment-49027 Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 (edited) Update. Supers were already removed, now I have removed sports cars too, they do not suit the track. Removed GTA race settings, I felt that track wasn't suitable. Removed the props at turn 1, they didn't do the track any justice, I have come to accept that people going off track is not my problem.... Use the brakes and look at the chevrons! Only 1 prop remains and that is the concrete barrier to combat corner cutting at the chicane, I wouldn't use it if it wasn't completely necessary. Updated screenshot.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted November 13, 2014 Author Share Posted November 13, 2014 I'm gonna give this race a re-think. In the meantime, please do not play this job. I'll post here when the job is ready.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 (edited) OK, this race is fixed and ready to be played again. In fact, the route was shortened by almost half the distance. I was unhappy with the first half of the track in the previous version, uphill sections and stationary traffic caused a lot of crashes. It's now completely flat throughout, locked to compacts and set to night. It follows my latest 'theme' of races quite well. IMO, it's 10 times better than before. Feedback/criticism welcome as always!

Sorry! I'm trying to cut down on duplicate jobs in my menu, I also don't think I'd have enough characters for a title. Until it got featured in the challenge it was very rarely played, same happened to some of my other races until I moved them. To be honest I still wasn't happy with it, but obviously can't update it without moving it to PS4. The races which require no future work will stay on PS3.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted March 28, 2016 Author Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) PS4 version still coming soon . Please do NOT play this job until the the new job is finished, remember this is published as it was moved from PS3, but it is NOT ready to be played in crew playlists. My last unfinished job made it's way into crew playlists despite the title reading 'Unfinished' and the description reading 'Do NOT play yet'. Thread will be updated when it's ready.
