I rarely, as in almost never, rate tracks. There's a lot of work out there, that even if someone put in a lot of time, it just isn't up to standards. LAC wasn't up to standards either in the beginning, and with 1.0 there's still minor stuff left (fixed in the upcoming 1.2) that keeps it from being absolute top quality. But: no one can or should deny the scale of this work, how beautiful it has become, how well it contributes to the available collections of tracks already in AC adding something otherwise missing, and how much diverse fun it can be. It's obviously not a racetrack, being based on real roads, it's not made to challenge the mechanics of a car, not saying that it won't or that you can't race someone at LAC. It's quite simply THE real roads cruise track for any sim in a long time. Do I have to mention it is the best VR track experience available among AC mods too? Up until Fonteny, there was none on this level, and LAC is still #1 if you ask me. Rating this 3 stars or below is just adding insults due personal preferences and denial.
There's really just one major problem with LAC 1.0: how can we rate it with a 6th star when 1.2 arrives?
