Here are my Favorite Sim Monsters Tracks of 2012. Feel free to post your favorites too.
Top 5
 
 
5. Fall Madness II By Danny Mackey
 
When I first saw the early stages of the Fall Madness II track, I just didn't think was going to work. Nothing really seemed right to me. But after actually trying out the track, I had a blast. The unique race course made racing very interesting and fun. The freestyle layout had an unlimited number of possible combos and huge jumps for clearing big gaps. This track was a pleasant surprise.
 
 
4. Jonesboro By Coconutman
 
This texturing on this track shocked me. I didn't see this coming from Edy at all. Though a fairly small track, I found it very fun to race and freestyle on with friends online. The hill in the back of the map adds something to the track, just to make it feel like the real show.
 
 
3. World Finals 13 By Klayton Halog
 
This track was hands down the most anticipated track in Sim Monsters history. Klayton brought track making to a whole new level with his new track make techniques and beautiful textures, which he spent hours and hours perfecting. This track was no disappointment and succeed expectations.
 
2. New Liberty Stadium 3 by Hot Shoe
 
track really takes me back to when I played MTM2. I was too young to race online when I started playing MTM2 back in 2001 or 2002. I didn't even know there was a league to race in. I got this track back when it was released in 2005 and messed around on it all. I thought it was great for it in RoR and looks identical to its MTM2 counterpart.
 
 
1. San Antonio 2012 By Klayton Halog
 
A few months ago, this was basically the only track I went on. While in beta stages, Johan Seminaro (acdcfan56) and I would take turns racing and freestyling on this track for hours and hours at a time. When there was a new truck to test, this track would be the testing grounds. Not to mention the track looks amazing as do the rest of Klayton's tracks.

Ill list mine

 

5. Arhnem 2011

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/389-arnhem-2011/

 

When this track was released i spent HOURS at a time playing on it. Not only is it a fun track but its not identical to almost every other Chicago style racing track like most 2011 tracks were. AND it also started off the year that has contained the best tracks made for ROR.

 

4. Phoenix 2012

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/666-phoenix-2012/

 

This track is my home town track that i go to every year and was excited to see it in the works months ago since i have been wanting to see a Phoenix track made in Blender ever since SM Season 1 started with the blender tracks. This track is also not exactly the same as every other So-Cal style track and while its a little cramped it still provides plenty of stuff to be done and you really need to think to get a smooth FS in.

 

3. Fall Madness 2

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/644-fall-madness-ii/

 

This track i can say so far has the most unique racing track of any track released on this site. Like already said it provides PLENTY of combos that can be done and PLENTY of air to be made off of the obstacles. The track is a blast to drive and can still see me having fun on it next year and even the year after.

 

2. World Finals 13

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/587-world-finals-13/

 

like already stated this track is EASILY the most anticipated track ever on ROR SM ever since Klayton showed it in the works right after the first shots of the track were released. This track is a lot of fun and i have spent countless of hours on the track and even replicated the real WF13 FS portion the best ROR will let me. Track looks great and this probably has changed how ROR SM tracks are made for now on.

 

1. Cincinnati 2011

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/416-cincinnati2011/

 

Cincinnati 2011 is a track i have spent at least a hundred hours on since its been released. NO other track released is like it and the obstacles can throw you if places you dont want to be if your not careful. Its my favorite place to run V4 trucks and no freestyle is the same due to how the obstacles can throw you and the track looks great even though its not made the same Klaytons new tracks are.

 

Honorable Mentions

Just about every track released in 2012


Just thinking about 5 tracks was hard......Every track released in 2012 has been great in there own way and all deserve to be in a top 5 list of at least 1 person.

Alright, here's mine. Divided by Replica and Custom:


Replica:

#5: Orlando 2010 by Mark Calamari
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/448-orlando-2010/

I don't know why, but this track just... works for me. There's something you can't quite pinpoint about it but every time you freestyle on it, you have a blast no matter what. An underrated gem in my opinion and one I recommend for everyone

 

#4: Virginia Beach 2012 by Coconutmen:
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/595-virginia-beach-2012/

Although Jonesboro may be more praised, and is an excellent track, this one really stands out for me. The track looked like an absolute blast and Edy mate, you did a perfect job on replicating this track.

#3: Orlando 2004 by WorldFinals
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/639-orlando-2004/

I have a soft spot for muddy tracks, which is why it's up here as it is. That's not to say this track is bad, it's an excellent track to where it truly tests your skill as a driver in the best way I can think of. Another underrated gem of 2012

#2: Minneapolis 2007 by ARF
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/425-minneapolis-2007/

Oh what anticipation we had for this track, and what a payoff it was! Absolutely a blast to run on. Andrew man, you went above and beyond on this track and I don't think anyone on here would disagree with that.

#1: Any track by Klayton (RockCrwlr)

Just download them for yourself. Nothing else needs to be said. Klayton, you are a track making GOD!

Honorable Mentions:
Farm Road 29 (Hey, it's technically a replica) by Tom Pistachio
Arnhem 2011 & 2012 by MonsterJam0000
Reno 2012 by Coconutmen

Custom:

#5: Custom World Finals 1 by MonsterJamFan
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/518-custom-world-finals-1/

A very underrated track in my opinion, and bloody fun to drive on. From the multiple backflip jumps, to the slick dirt it's absolutely amazing from start to finish

#4 ORL Summer Smashdown by Mark Colineri
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/469-orl-summer-smashdown/

Shades of Fall Madness 5 all around here with a unique twist equals a well designed and excellent track from one of the best. Absolutely skyscraper sized obstacles and fast paced racing makes this a must DL

#3: Wildwood 2011 by Tom P.

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/596-wildwood-2011/


There's quite a few elements (mainly the bus) that separates this from the replica but that doesn't take away from how amazing this track is! Honestly the only criticism I could give is that your truck spawns in the middle of the ocean, but other than that it's a fantastic beach track all around!

#2: RCD Stadium 2.0 by RockCrwlr

http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/638-rcd-stadium-20/

Highly anticipated a couple of months ago, this really showed off Klayton's unparalleled track making skills. Visually stunning and technically well crafted, this was perhaps a magnum opus in an already amazing catalog.

#1: San Marco Arena 2nd Stop by HotShoe
http://sim-monsters.com/index.php?/files/file/546-sanmarcoarena2ndstop/

 

The most technically stunning, the most creative in design, the most overall just pure, unadulterated fun you could have in RoR in 2012 IMO. Another MTM2 legend makes his impression well known in 2012 with this absolutely mind blowing track. David, thank you for giving us such amazing tracks in 2012 and especially this one in particular.

5. Arnhem 2012

 

Liked the textures of the track, they were cool but the space was too open not enough, it was not the creators fault but the track creators, it had good flow all in all a good fun to run track.

 

4. Bc Place

 

Really cool track great job done by matt wilkinson, good textures and you could make good flow, going from jump to jump without problems.

 

3. Fall Madness II

 

This track is EXTREMELY well done by Danny Mackay although at first i thought why are the jumps just randomly placed, the jumps came out well in the end where you can do HUGE combos with a backflip ramp (sorta) :P some huge jumps for big air and good racing layout

 

2. Orlando 2004

 

Racing i really never tried racing but freestyle was a fun place to go if you want to slipslide and just relax while freestyling, i say relax cuz if you tense when you freestyle there your bound to go EVERYWHERE on the track because its so slippery and the cool thing was this was his first track, GREAT JOB CHRIS!!!

 

1. All of rocks 2012 tracks

 

Not much to say but amazing, awesome, those textures are insane especially on arlington great job rock

5: San Marco arena. That was David's first ROR track, and he knocked it out of the park. Even with Klayton's S3 tracks released, this is still one of my favorites.

 

4: RCD stadium 2.0. What can i say? Klayton and greatness go hand in hand. Combos, air, allowed flow, this is a track that will be played on for years to come! This was without a doubt (in my mind) the greatest custom of 2012. Knocked it out of the park!

 

3: Fall Madness II. Now, there may be some rage, but honestly, i think this track was just flippin great. It allowed flow, but you had to work for it. It allowed air, but you had to work for that too, same with comboes. Danny did such an amazing job, and i hope he gets recruited for ORL and other leagues, because we need fun but challenging tracks like that!

 

2: All of Klayton's S3 tracks. I just can't pick.

 

1: Patrick Carroll ORL Summer Smashdown. Now, i know there may be some rage at this pick, but this track truly is great. It has everything, comboes, air, allows flow, and it's nothing but fun. Mark is very proud of ORL, and this was a great little S2 preview track.

 

Now, i want to re-iterate that this is just my personal opinion, i am not trying to say FMII is better than arlington 2012, i'm just going off of how i feel.

Loved all the tracks from any point in time. When I first joined here I was like, wow, these things are great! Now it's nothing but, wow, these things are flipping awesome! (No pun intended) Think I got a bit to think about, then I'll list my favorites.

 

EDIT:

 

Think I've finally narrowed it down enough to my liking so, here we go!

 

5.)  Custom FR

 

Not sure why I like this entirely, but it's a really fun track to drive on.  I've always like freestyle more than racing, mainly because I can't race for the life of me, but it's just got so much stuff to do on it, that the possibilities of what you can hit, and how you can hit ramps is almost endless.

 

4.) BC Place 2012

 

Although it might have the standard track layout that we see at almost any show nowadays, a lot of effort went into modeling this, i'm possitive on that.  The ramps, especially the double van stack, seem to have a really nice curve to them, and it just launches the truck perfectly.  Downright a great track for a funrun, or even maybe a league.  The racing track, also standard, drives as smooth as can be.  No tight turns to really throw someone off.  Just a really great track for a newbie like me to be able to be competitive without having all the most skill, or the fastest computer.

 

3.) World Finals XIII

 

This track couldn't be any more perfect than it is for me.  Racing is always close here, and there are no problems in the Thunder Alley section, unless you really can't drive these things.  Textures and painting are simply gorgeous, especially on the Freestyle version with the tire marks everywhere.  Ramps don't seem to big or to small, and I haven't had much trouble with lag on it.  Just a downright great track for funruns.

 

2.) All Monster's Eve III

 

Right as I was in the middle of watching a replay of Freestyle for the first AME I started thinking to myself: "Ya know, I want to run with these guys some day," and, guess who's here now?  Missed the chance to get into this particular event 'cause of the holiday season, but I did catch a bit of the Freestyle live-stream, which just blew me away.  The racing course was very cool, kind of a mix between a Sam Boyd course and a straight up straight drag.  Really fun to try and get a good lap in without making a slight mistake, and all the ramps flowed nicely.  The Freestyle track was where it really got good!  At first I see the train in the front, but then I spotted the plain in the back!  Great innovating in the freestyle track, and it had many opportunities for big air.  My only thought is, whatcha got for next year? :D

 

1.)  Sim-Monsters Fall Madness II

 

The first official event I tried to get into, driving War Wagon, and let me tell ya, that track was BRUTAL!  So many spots to roll the truckif you went to fast, or slow, in my case.  Think the average lap time for this track was just shy of a minute, but the track offered a very different style of racing that I've never seen before.  The freestyle track seemed a little packed with the gap jump being right on the landing side of the bus jump, but just the sheer insanity of some of the ramps quickly drove that thought out of my head.  Just a very well put together track, and it was a lot of fun trying to make the field.

 

Well, there ya have it.  Hopefully I can get the chance to see what you guys can pull off in 2013, and best of luck with all the new tracks for the upcoming year!
