Rondat Speedway by OOPS;-)

This is a beautifully rendered compact track. The rock/grass textures look great. Full of custom models, this is a very "busy" layout, full of nicely edited curves and turns. OOPS;-) seems to have packed a great deal into a relatively small area. The spinning globe and checkpoint markers are nice touches, as is the repainted Sir James' train. Imaginitive use of custom .bins creates a track that crosses itself on 3 different levels and the train runs along a track yet ANOTHER level above that!
I have only raced against the computer trucks at the time of writing and found them fairly easy to beat. I found it difficult to actually get up much speed because of the compact nature of the course. I'd say this track would best be described as a kind of outdoor arena.Top marks for the textures, models and smoothness of the road. If any improvement could be made I'd say I would like to see a bigger track with a few more straight sections. Also (in my humble opinion) the other thing that would have made this track "complete" would be a sound file of Patrick Rondat's music. Maybe OOPS;-) could persuade Patrick to donate a few .wavs for his next track ;o)
Overall, this is one of the best rendered tracks I've had the pleasure to download and play. I'd rank it alongside Zoon's and Alpine's for quality and attention to detail.
If there was a rating sytem here I would class this track as "Recommended download".
Best wishes
EmceeMart

Absolutely. I have to agree with you point for point. Of the two tracks, I think I give the edge to yawdeepS tadnoR.

I agree with you all 100% It is one awesome looking track, could Opps ;-) be the one and only Zoon? Sure does seem it anyway.

Well, OOPS;-) is one heck of a track maker! He DOES have a style much like Zoon's, which is cool!

Oh yeah! This reminds me your favrite back road. Tight, twisty, and fun! Let me put it this way, It ROCKS!!!!!

This is a beatiful track!!! It is narrow and VERY twistey! The AI is good, but once you get past ur gone! If you start in the back it sould provide surficent challenge for awile!
