I liked the track, especially the ride around the castle, the visuals are very good, And it’s easy to ride on the track To me. I bet 10/10.
Very nicely done track. Pretty straight and focused on top speed, but still providing some chokepoints. Looks and races great regardless of class. Could use a bit more powerups to cause chaos in packed races though.
This track is very good, in my opinion! The theme was very well executed. The castle really feels like a unity. Every asset looks like it was made for this track, it is tied together so well. Castle 1 looks so good that that alone makes it fun to play.
The actual gameplay is good too. There is one turn that I find awkward and hard to anticipate, unfortunately, but most of the track is intuitive. This is not a very difficult track (although it says Extreme in-game, I’m not sure why…), but there are plenty of spots in which you can riskier but more optimal lines, which makes the race fun to do. There are plenty of pick-ups to spice up the fights, as well. I really like that if you fall off on the downhill section, you can just drive on, and don’t have to reposition.
Great work! Xarc’s recent tracks are very promising for his future projects.

out of all the castle races. this one stands out as the best of 2020 and GOAT of Castle Tracks. it even of the sequel.
Just a heads up, some of your textures is in uppercases, which means it won’t load in Linux systems. I loaded it for the first time and it’s all pitch black, but after running fix_cases, it loaded fine now. You should change all your filenames to be lowercase to make it work on Linux.
