Favorite/Least Favorite NR Tracks to Race On Empty Favorite/Least Favorite NR Tracks to Race On

Post by gone-sovereign Thu Jun 16, 2016 6:31 pm

I'd made a thread like this back in January of 2014. Since it's been a little less than two and a half years since then, I figure there's no harm in bringing up this subject again to see if anyone's opinions have changed since then, and to give some of the newer members a chance to express their opinions.

Quite simply, list some of your favorite/least favorite NR tracks to race, either online or offline.

Favorites
Generally, anywhere I feel like I can consistently be competitive, or I just like the dynamics of the track that make it fun to drive. This includes:
-Rockingham
-Iowa
-Michigan
-Daytona (Mostly because I have a win here that Leckliter doesn't. Very Happy)
-Daytona Short Track
-Indianapolis (Still super bummed I missed F5 running here)
-Darlington
-Martinsville
-Homestead
-Watkins Glen
-Road America
-Fire Mountain

Least Favorites
-Bristol (Seriously, screw this racetrack)
-CTMP
-Loudon (Sorry Joe)
-Phoenix
-Fontana
-Sonoma
-1.5 mile D-ovals, such as Chicagoland (Sorry Cooper), Las Vegas, Kansas, and Kentucky.
-Most restrictor-plate superspeedways that aren't Daytona. The pack racing dynamic got old after a while.

Feel free to post your own personal favorite and least favorite tracks!

No argument from me on either of those bullets. I don't like running at Chicagoland in anything but .cts physics. Even then there's other tracks I'd rather run on. Laughing

All-Time Favorites

1) Indianapolis Raceway Park
2) Nazareth Speedway
3) Darlington Raceway


Other Favorites

I went extremely overboard on this (as I tend to do), but I find enjoyment in ordering and organizing. Razz If anyone really wants to analyze these then I ordered every track that I thought of as a personal favorite (the list happened to be 55 tracks), and also split the list into track types.

Overall:

Existing Ovals:

Existing Road Courses:

Fictitious Ovals:

Fictitious Road Courses:

Dirt Tracks:


Least Favorites

These only refer to tracks on which I do not enjoy driving, regardless of whether they're well-made or produce races that are fun to watch.

Overall:

I don't understand why people don't like Bristol. It is one of my favorite tracks, as it is one the few short tracks where you can carry any resemblance of speed through the corners. And it has always been fun to drive on whether on NR2003, Nascar 08, Nascar 14, and pretty much any other game.

Try racing it online. That's all I'm gonna say.
