Sundays are meant for relaxing. Maybe that’s taken the form of playing your favourite PS4 game straight on your PC. That game might even be DiRT Rally (read Brendan’s excellent review here). Or perhaps you’re still trying to tame a car’s airborne tendencies at Oakhill Road, last week’s Track of the Week.
The time has come to select the next inductee into the weekly feature. We’ve got another 14 tracks to choose from, and they’re a varied bunch:

As a touge enthusiast and an ambassador to our niche community on GTPlanet, I must say it’s somewhat disheartening knowing that courses made with the Modified .APK aren’t eligible for TotW (most outside of the touge community, just as some within, haven’t clue what touge is or what it’s about but I’ll say my piece).
—–
Nearly all touge enthusiasts have adopted the modified app in lieu of the standard one because the old one doesn’t meet our standards.
Aside from original creations, we often run on replicas of real-world roads. The likes of which simply aren’t possible with the standard app (Transfagarasan HWY, Usui Pass, Fuji Skyline, Blue Ridge PKWY, Ebusi Curcuit, Hot Version’s Gunsai Touge, the list goes on).
The length, accuracy and character of these locations can barely be replicated this way, less so with the standard app, and there’s still much we’re unsatisfied with (a working replica or the Iroha Slopes? Fugghedaboutit).
There are numerous superb, richly detailed, memorable, and incredibly fun original courses available as well!
My qualm is we get no real exposure. As course creators, we fall into the same bracket as those who create ludicrous spaghetti roads and sky-bound passes because of our tool of choice.
It isn’t fair. And as a collective, we refuse to settle for a mediocre tool when something more capable/less restrictive is out there that allows us to realize our creative potential.
I’m not the only one who feels this way. And it’s understandable that upon seeing one of our celebrated layouts, the general populace is turned off by the length and complexity of them … The idea of memorizing 100+ new corners is daunting. But there are a lot of tracks out there that get overlooked. We see the same submissions every week.
[For the record: Touge is a noun, not a verb. We don’t touge, we run on the Touge.]
Is it ok to mention in the track post per each user that the video is available or not ?
Because i’m afraid that most users votes by just watching the shape without knowing if the video of the track is available or not.
Or how about the poster of the thread for example the respective moderator ( Slip ) before posting the track – he’ll mention to the viewers that if the certain track has a video ?
