Point-Point Suggestions

Creating this as a place to offering up possible Point-Point routes for racing categories, especially since more DLC have been released since the last new additions, and we know more are on the way (e.g. Texas)

Obviously due to the number of cities available even just in the base game, let alone including DLC, there's nigh infinite routes that could be categorised, so any suggestion should be accompanied by an explanation for what makes that point-to-point special in some way.

e.g. when adding Port Angeles - Oxnard it was considered distinct due to racing down the coastal highway, which is far more technical than just following motorways.

For a new route to be added, it would be expected to see an initial run linked by someone - does not have to be the person making the original suggestion - so we don't just end up with a bunch of empty categories. Those initial runs could then be submitted once the category is created (or submitted on behalf by the mod adding the category).

I'd recommend Brownsville, TX to Bellingham, WA it starts off furthest South in the game and travels up furthest North. Plus I feel like figuring out the route configuration would be fun

Hey yeah good suggestion, I have been wondering about that sort of route since TX came out.

My concern is that once you get close to the top it might just be very similar to Roswell/Seattle. For that reason I had thought holding off on something SE/NW for now until we can go across from Florida. Or we just go the other direction, which shakes things up a bit.

Also in terms of "furthest North" I believe the services north of Sandpoint, Idaho, might be closer to the Canadian border? And would be an interesting route through the more recently added states.

United States

we could potentially add some more routes through Oklahoma or Kansas, given that they've been added to the game relatively recently. I can scout out some areas that could potentially be interesting during my trucking sessions and report back with what I can find pertaining to a PtoP in OK or KS, I will do my best to find interesting routes so that it's not just some boring run yk. Although I feel that any new PtoP run will include the new states being added this year, NE, MO and AK

It would be cool to have some more inner-state PtoP. Like Jackpot to Vegas, Jackpot being the most North and Vegas while not being the most south in Nevada, in my humble opinion just seems like a close enough just for the word association. Or like St.George to Logan. While not every state may not have an easy 2 cities to race between I think it would be nice to have some shortish races along with some more marathon style long hauls.

I was driving in game and found an interesting point of interest, West Yellowstone. Although I need more time to think of a routing that would go through Yellowstone but it could be a route going through national monuments and whatnot. I thought it could be interesting. What do y'all think?

Sorry for the late reply but yes, a national monument tour could be very interesting. Even just a short course driving through Yellowstone could be fun as a sprint track, or a longer connection with one of the other parks in game.

With any of these sorts of ideas it would be great to see a recording of a run being performed to get an idea of what it would look like, and then it could be added to a new board, rather than us creating something empty and then never getting around to running it (speaking from experience)

I will be recording a run through the national monuments, still figuring out possible routing since I've been busy with stuff
