It looks worse than it is, thankfully nearly all of the posts are off the racing line and mostly small ones.
So at worst you just get slowed down a little if you hit one

Here's a proposition for Sunday night?
Some of you may remember my short Simple Circuit, which is mostly flat out with some very committed cornering needed which made for some excellent close racing and rather spectacular crashes!
I've tided up the track and props as it was originally made way before even prop stacking was a thing, let alone stunt track.
Most of the corners have multiple lines, so I've doubled up all the check points to allow for that.
I've also smoothed out a lot of the big bumps that threw the car offline just before some of the corners.

A flat out lap is approx 30 seconds, so I propose a 20-30 lap race for a good endurance?

Video of 3 laps:

Add it here if you fancy a go/practice:

Different classes on one track for the series sounds good to me, I watched the YouTube video earlier today when it popped up in my subscriptions and it looks fun.

A few of us did some racing on it last night, so its only fair to share our findings for those who weren't there.
We mostly concentrated on supers simply because they are the most fun!

The beauty of this track is pretty much any super of your choice will do a 30-31 second lap consistently, therefore there is very little advantage to be had by car choice.
There are a few that stand out though, the GTB Italeri is very fast but hard to handle, so it is not consistent, and that is what is key on this track.
The T20 is very good and will do 29 second laps, but you'd struggle to do them all the time.
If I had to pick a favourite for this track it has to be the Tempesta!
I managed a 28 just before turning it off last night, but no way on earth could you do that every time, its proper on edge but 29-30 are comfortable.
If you have one of these I recommend using it.

Worth noting that we did a couple of bike races and they were mental laugh you can go flat out all the way round which makes for some crazy cornering!
However, they didn't do any better than 30 seconds, and surprisingly enough, the Elegy did 30 seconds too.
Muscle cars were around 32-33.

IMO the most fun was to be had with supers.
At one point we had about 10 people racing including some good randoms which made for some brilliant close quarters racing biggrin

It's definitely an acceleration track rather than a top speed track and damn you for beating my lap record! curse

I'm not going to post this on every PS4 thread (we really need a general one). But if anyone on here has amazon prime they are selling PS+ subscriptions for up to 45% discount. Currently they have a 15month membership that's £54.99, but with AP that is £30. £30 for 15months is a bargain considering it's £39.99 for 12months normally.

The Cheetah Classic is out today. It's pretty cool, loads of quite subtle modding options. It also gives you a bunch of different engine covers in the spoiler section so you don't actually have to have a wing to get the benefit.

Looks pretty cool, how do you think it compares performance wise to the F40 one?

I gave them 5 laps each round your simple circuit and the Turismo monstered it. My best lap was two seconds quicker, the Cheetah isn't bad but the Turismo is better. It feels faster and it's got much more grip.

It looks really cool! It will be added to the classics collection in my garage for sure

I did the same and was slightly quicker in the cheetah!

Broughy has them at about even as well. Might just need a bit of practice with the Cheetah. I'd prefer to use it tbh as it looks better than the Turismo.

I love it!
The way it slides into corners but is totally controllable is so good biggrin
I was getting similar times to the Tourismo on Simple Circuit.
Definitely up for a classic playlist on Sunday

agreed. of all of them I do not like

- water one with seperate numbers all in a horizontal line.
- the square shaped one with the circle in the middle for 5.


most fun is the one with the slope and 5 at the end as you see people trying to coast to 5. also the one with the numbers all in 1 row is fun, it can be very tactical.
