Unfortunately I have only the vaguest ideas of most of these tracks, but here's some short comments of the tracks I remember:

Age of Miracles - Ekla
- One of the best looking lego (extreme) tracks, it's very nice even though a bit frustrating.

Akira - Spaceman
- Never understood all the rave about this track, doesn't appeal to me much.

Bikini Bottom - Hilaire9
- Not one of my fave hil tracks, but its ok.

Cobblestone Run - DSL_Tile
- This ones a good solid lego track. I liked it.

Eldorado II - TM&M
- Nice graphics and interesting turns. It's a bit too long.

Interweave Highway - Manmountain & AGT
- Excellent racing line and a speedy track. But a bit too long.

Matrix 2 - ??
- No good compared to the original.

Mr. Toad's Wild Ride - Hilaire9
- This was a great challenging track with a fun theme.

Ocean Park - Hilaire9
- I liked this track. Clear good graphics and a memorable racing line.

Oscar The Iguana - Speedy3000
- This is very good and original lego track. Memorable racing line and a nice theme.

Pipeline - Yamada
- I hate pipes.

Spanish Castle Magic - Hilaire9
- Great track with great graphics.

Table Town - Nairb
- Very good... challenging race always here.

The Catacombs - scloink & triple6s
- A bit too long but quite impressive graphically.

The Matrix - Ice
- One of the best lego tracks ever... fast intensive race with good graphics.

Toys in Space - Kilo
- Also one of my favorite lego tracks... it's a shame about that big jump which is nothing but luck. Otherwise perfect.

Water Track - Yamada
- Very good grapchis and a nice theme. It's a bit of a wallbanger though.


Some of my favorites that I can remember off the top of my head are:
- Matrix
- RVO Flow
- Toys in Space
- Oscar The Iguana
- Half of hil's tracks.

tbh, i prefer the original El Dorado over the second approach, even tho it comes with a reverse version...
both are a tad too long.

my favorite lego tracks that we made incl.
Grass Bridge and Kudos Walk (shameless plug )

ace tracks by others:
Down Town by Silverlode
Catacombs technically great, but a tad too difficult/twisty for the cars i like to drive
loads of pooh from hilaire9..

I've done a little recon with the tracks I listed and here is my findings IMHO:

I like to have more personal opinions and favorites offered ?

My favorite track is : AI Projekt . I like this tracks very much because i like long tracks and crazy tracks

My AI Project track is not really meant for competitive racing, as the name suggests, it was created to test and understand the different AI created for ReVolt.
It's long because it is like several different tracks in one, there are 5 different sections:
1) long flat racing style, to test top speed and acceleration.
2) ICE section, to test for grip and inertia.
3) bump & dirt section, to test suspension and stability.
4) rolling hill grass section, a combination of grip, stability and steering.
5) slightly slippery s bends, to test grip, inertia, acceleration and steering.

I also find it useful to test manual handling of cars, due to the varying terrain and surface properties.

It's a track I personally use all the time. The results that I obtained using this track helped me to create my SDSUAI car pack.

Thanks for the mention.
