Hi there!
That's very cool of you. A few come to mind...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The new
Goodwood Hillclimb by Gunnar333, representing the Festival of Speed of 2017, really deserves a top notch camtool replay. The thing has an airplane, an helicopter (with sound), multiple TV screens showing videos of the event, announcer on loudspeaker for ambient sound, dynamic (crashable) hay barriers and some of track crew is animated! Quite the list... As if that wasn't enough, to top it all up, it's REALLY small. One 'lap' takes about 42 seconds! A replay cam tailored to be really cinematic, with all that stuff happening around each run, would be amazing. Now that we can control time of day, weather and all that on a replay, using SOL, some talented people will be making some amazing videos set there. and it has NO camtool replay.
It's actually so short someone can actually make a few different versions of the replay, using different styles/approches. Can't wait for someone like you to go to town on this one.
Beware there are LQ and HQ versions for both dry and wet.

Then there's the official
Nürburgring-Nordschleife from Kunos (Dream Pack 1), which already has three camtool replays, but the Endurance layout doesn't have a single one! Not only that, but when you save a replay from the Endurance layout, even though 95% of the distance is done on the base layout (which we have camtool replays for), those cams are not available! It could at least still work on the base part of the layout, which we have the cams for, leaving only the circuit bit with the stands out, but no... Not there at all. To me, knowing nothing about coming up with camtool replays, it seems like all it takes is to edit the existing replays done for the base layout, to add the circuit part of the layout. Done like that it's also a 'small scale' project, even considering the huge lenght of the full track, since all it takes is adding the missing part.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And there's
Bathurst, most people's favorite track... There are two versions of the track: FM7 (Terra21 & Jim Lloyd) and ACU. The FM7 version is pretty much covered, with 5 camtool replays. But there's only one for the ACU version! I love the track, and it's hard to pick the best between both versions, but I think I slightly favour the ACU version. The ACU version is also much lighter on your PC than the FM7 version, so, for some people, there isn't really even a discussion there, they just have to use the ACU version... with only the one rush-job and totally unexciting existing camtool replay, which completely misses what makes that track great. I usually stick to the regular cams on that one.

Another great track that could use some camtool love is
Kyalami 2016 (0.9 beta) by Prototype. There's one camtool replay for it, but there's room for improvement.

If you end up working on any of those tracks, there will be a lot of happy campers
There's a user on gtplanet doing a bunch of regular replay files for some not so well known tracks, which had none, and she's doing a fantastic job, slapping together a bunch of them in no time. Some of which you covered too.
So thanks! Between the 2 of you, you got it covered. A great replay can really make a sim (or a sim driver) shine.
