Sector of the Year

Hi everyone.

We have had a season filled with creative and challenging tracks.
Thought I'd ask if anyone had any favourite specific areas/features of this year's tracks that they remember?

These are the ones that I find myself thinking back on, that gave me the greatest enjoyment, frustration and challenge during this season:

ZCT271 - Dopamine Pathways: the bridges
Twists and turns!

ZCT273 - Kelvin: a cork illusion (sign of things to come?) and fun routes across the grass. Which route to take??

ZCT276 - Bonkstad: r/l cork leaps
So many corks! So many leaps!

ZCT277 - SC2K: A fun skid over the tunnel (and at one point for me, driving flat along the tunnel wall on my side!), and a crazy 180 loop to finish!
(Not the last this year..)

ZCT280 - Marginal: Once we'd settled on the best route, there was a cool invisibridge and a fun loopcut on this challenging track.

ZCT281 - Eternal Wait: a field of r/l corks, u/d cork magic carpet, and a 180 loop jump to finish, but that  double-loop/half-pipe section was a season highlight. So many possible routes, this track was ace.

But special mention should go to:

ZCT274 - Mirage:
An illusory masterpiece, a trip into madness. Unforgettable, let's have another one like this next year!

ZCT274 has been among my favourite this year, surpassing the limits I knew for illusion tracks and still being fun to drive. Any of the combined corks u/d is an amazing section.

ZCT280 gave a very good choice of two paths, the inner one being very rich and enjoyable.

ZCT270 felt like a very fluent track, a variety of which I'd love to race live. I feel that several laps on this one would look great to pass by the "town" at the initial point.
Earth is my country. Science is my religion.

First and foremost, I must highlight the ZCT277 loop, hairpin and final stretch combo on the Lancia line, which was a thing of beauty!

The dual-way sector of ZCT273 was cleverly assembled and fun to explore with the LM002 as well as with other cars, with the best solution never obvious.

In the "more than meets the eye" category, I nominate the bridge straight plus the first dual-way sector in ZCT279. The loopcut to tunnel combo towards its end also deserves a mention!

Then there's ZCT280 and ZCT281... can I nominate entire tracks?  :)

I agree, the end of this season has been racing of the highest quality.
