Hello! I'm starting a spin-off of Track/Car of the month where I'm going to take each time from my very personal view a "classic track" [spoiler=sorry car makers] I'm more into tracks :3 [/spoiler], feature it well enough. (this should be bi-weekly)
List:
- Grisville
- PetroVolt
- Fiddlers on the Roof


[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 1: Grisville
by Allan1[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]
Grisville is perhaps, one of the best tracks I have ever seen. The idea itself is very well done and well executed.
The setup is race on rooftops with many landing parts featuring a marsh and clothes shop. 
The flow is very convenient, you could say you shouldn't "stop": in some places, in case you fall there is always a backup ramp to help you get into track in no-time which gives one of the best racing experience.

It has been featured as RVL's track of the month [September 2015] with 15 votes out of 17.
Last Cuban has said about it:

This has got everything right. The length is just right about right, the difficulty is high but not set to impossible and the visuals are perfect. The racing is  fast with lots of turns and few slow parts. There are few straight parts and the ones have jumps or objects that may get in the way (basket ball !!). The graffiti is excellent with more to find if you take the time to look.

Only minor drawback of this track is that some track zones aren't placed properly, confusing the AI (making cars ending up 500 m behind sometimes). Also, some paths are really narrow (especially when you fall in the back alley between buildings and have to climb the narrowest plank ever), breaking the flow of the race a bit.

Otherwise, a cleverly accomplished track, awesome textures and overall one of the best this community has ever produced! :D

by Gabor[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]
Well.... Every time we talk about Re-Volt community's user creations, PetroVolt just comes to the mind to the point that some people could actually think about it as a lost Stock track or even the #15 stock track!
Well, Probably the most renowned track after stocks and it's an icon to what can fans (you and me) do for a game (not only Re-Volt).

Living to its name, PetroVolt is one of the best tracks ever released for Re-Volt, for those who don't know about it, just like the name should hint "Petro" goes for a petrol station (filling station) where you're driving around the local shop and the washing station as well as the garden and road.

Well there are few tracks that are this good to race on and
even fewer that are made so well. A SUPERB track in every respect and
my favourite  track of all. This track is fast has many turns easy
and hard tricky parts and is always a joy to race on.

by Marv, R6TE and Acclaim[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]
What if there are some tracks that are made by Acclaim but never made it to the game and they have been left unfinished somewhere? Yes, none of this is hoax, well in fact, Fiddlers on The Roof is a lost Acclaim track that was recovered by Marv and R6TE and finished the remaining work left.


Just like Rooftops 2011 (which is a nightly track), Fiddlers on the Roof provides a more fun and enjoyable racing on the roof

[/b]Last Cuban share the same point of view:
[dohtml]</div>[/dohtml]
Quote:
 
... The track is on the roof like Rooftops but is set during daylightand I think i little easier than rooftops but it is not a very fast track. Its not all flat as you drive on angled roofs and a circular roof near the end. I like the balance of the slower parts to fast parts which makes it not just a fast racing track. There is a section where you have to drive on a few satellite dishes as well which you need to get just right. I found a little short cut need the end so check out the videos for it

[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 4: JailHouse Rock
by Human[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]
Described as "human's latest and best work so far".

JailHouse Rock is one of the best tracks and can easily beat the stocks!

The environment is as following: you're racing into jail departments: from cells to sportyard and passing from sewers. This is both almost perfect graphically as well as in flow.

This is one of those tracks where you need to as fast as possible for as much as the lap as possible. This applies more to the turns and the sewer part as these are the places where you will loose time if you do not take care. If you go too slow in the sewer you will loose seconds but if you go too fast you will crash or skid out down there. Its easy to slow down too much on the long turns but you must keep your speed up. The visuals are great with nothing that looks out of place or added for effect. Overall, a fast and hard track that is definitely a track to keep.

Well Done Human.

Well, indeed. I have troubles finishing the track with the keyboard, you need fast reflexes in many turns.
Still one of the best tracks out.

This is the iconic speed track Daytona Re-Volt track, better known as Daytoya 500.

by Hilaire9[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]
White Rose Chapel is one of the two chapels tracks released for Re-Volt. While the graphics is not exactly a top notch, add "it was made in 2008" by "hilaire9", using "3ds max 5" + season is spring, this is one of the best tracks to play with.

This is one of the best tracks in terms of enjoyment-vs-graphics (efficiency) and I'll grant that you're going to enjoy this track, it's pretty easy and is good looking enough!

Fools Mate 2 is one of the iconic tracks in Re-Volt and one of Skitch2's most wonderfully done abstract tracks.
You're racing in a medieval chess track.

While the graphics are not top notch, the fun is almost guaranteed once you get handle of the track.

Last_Cuban's words
 

This is fast and fun and there are only a couple of areas where you are not turning.
  The gfx is  great and in keeping and well laid out with some extra models to install. The main area where Madame  guillotine  is tricky near the start as it is very narrow and you must line up correctly to get through right. You must  get this track, its one of the best.

My version of Fools Mate 2 is different, as yours shows planets in the hallway. The original had Tetris like blocks floating around. Completes the theme quite nicely.

*edit* Just like the 2nd video shows. :)

BTW, I really like this video series. It gives a pretty good look at the tracks and with pretty good music too. :D

Indeed... It seems like my version was before the days of WolfR4. And yes, the updated version should have have the chess dices instead of the planets.

Thanks for your comments :)

Out for tennis, jogging or baseball? Can't find the right clothes. Worry not! "Re-Virt" has the right track for you. But first...forget about sports and have a nice race.

So far, my policy was to choose a famous maker's remarkable track. So far so good. Today, after we saw track heros : Human, Gabor, SK2, Marv, Allan1, SuperTard and Hilaire9, I'm pleased to announce another super hero named Yamada to be appended to best trackmakers' tracks. (note: I'm not going by any order just randomly, thank you...)


This track is quite short, but has an astonishing graphics quality. Sports shop? yes we have one!

[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 9: AMCO Bitume
by RVTT Team[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]

AMCO Bitume, RVZ's most downloaded track is what I'm going to talk about today.

After finishing AMCO TT, the Re-Volt Tip Top team get assembled again in order to make a more excellent track which took the name of "AMCO Bitume".
The track has very realistic road texture, grass' UV may contain some flaws but never mind that, you get a superb classic track that shows that Re-Volt can be an RC Game.... erm, what?

I'm starting to like this mini series, these are exactly the kind've videos we need more of just showcasing tracks and general racing. Maybe I might jump on the bandwagon again and make a few of this style.

Thanks for showing some of my cars in them.

Indeed, I sensed that too! We actually need more racing tracks and track racing (videos)!

[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 10: Winter Park
by Zach[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]

Zach, a very talented guy. Better known today as the maker of RVZ, back then, he was known for two things: His magical hand on 3ds max and his personal web site 'zackattackgames'.

Needless to say more, Zach made great tracks which could easily stands up to "human & SK2 quality" well that was how we thought of him 8 years ago, one more year after coming to Re-Volt scene lol.


So yeah, nuff with Zach, it's now Winter Park time!
Winter park time was one of the best tracks on the scene on 2008/2009. RVZT as archived on July'12 says that it was downloaded 2096 times! And guess more, it's worth the download.

The only thing that's possibly bad is erm... you cannot play this track on CRT monitor or you'll need to set brightness to highest level. Other than this, it's a pure awesomeness !

It's park, night. snowed the day and now it's a clear sky. Clear enough to see the stars glowing. The park is well modeled for a night setting. It's a must-see track.

(*) What's RECKAP score?
It's the score issued by Reckap on how efficient (good) a track is. It calculates score about the textures, poly count, cubes count, track length, pickups, track shading out of 20. Where 20/20 means a perfect made track in terms of graphics and efficiency.

[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 11: Re-Ville
by Spaceman[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]

Time to boost it more... We've finally arrived to Spaceman and his famous "Re-Ville"

For people who don't like gloomy tracks, this track is not exactly for you.
Andif you're into challenge, this track is just for you, ignore the sentence above!

This track offers what was considered last decade the best look n' feel. Oh yes, it's not only fun to race but also a great view (Did Nero see this sentence?)

Anyway, it's true, Re-Ville remains one of challenging tracks, and a great race on roofs track.
Re-Ville was released 14 years ago.

Indeed, from what I remember there are 3 old alternatives to Rooftops: Rooftops 2, Re-Ville and Skyscappers. Those are a part of the "race-on-roofs".
Among the new Rooftops, there are 3 that comes to my mind: Grisville, Fiddlers and Roof Chase.

Now...
Question: How did you find time to record those videos?
Response: They have been recorded some time ago, I'm just publishing them. :P

[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 12: Mamba
by Shawn64[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]

HEY! YOU! You who are reading this!
Stop everything, put everything aside for 5 minutes.
We have got a fun track to do to relieve the stress.
I promise, it's not going to take more than 5 minutes (unless you blow it up! by repeating the track again and again)

Quote:
 
1. Download and install track Mamba (see RVZ page below)
2. Open Re-Volt, single race mode, simulation.
3. Enter your name as "TVTIME"
4. Launch the game
5. Press F5  (alter. press/double press F1)
6. Enjoy!



Mamba is one of the most enjoyable tracks, and it's seconded or thirded in term of enjoyability.
btw, AMCO Bitume is also enjoyable in TVTIME mode.

It's a small roller-caster track made by the late Shawn64 but it has one message to tell that, not every enjoyable track has to be perfect in graphics.
Enjoy!

[dohtml]<div style=' font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#e0e0ff'><center>[/dohtml]Track 13: Re-Voltum
by Toffe[dohtml]</center>[/dohtml]

Toffe is another excellent track maker who has done many remarkable tracks, but, time has faded away his tracks (I remember a library by him...)

Re-Voltum, is a very very underrated track by Toffe.
The track describes some Roman Empire monuments using good graphics.

Thanks :)

Yes, "Alexandria" is the library I was talking about.

And yes, I forgot to mention that Re-Voltum was either RV_Pure (or RV_Passion)'s idea, as it has been mentioned in Re-Volt Live's Discord channel.

And by the way, the 14th track is your, R6TE ^_^ : Rooftop chase

So yes, as I have already mentioned in posts ago, that Rooftop chase is another new "roof" classic

Well, a new way that heavily borrows from PODCast with spru idea being Marv's.

The total outcome was not that horrible but it was bad, honestly said (stiff voice, bad presentation).

Classiques #15

First [failed] English version w CC : link

Original French version : link

Of course I'd appreciate some feedback here or at youtube or even by PMs (RVL, discord). For the music choice I'm still trying my best to find good music... gone with old trance for now.
