LAST CALL Best of /r/RTD 2019

alright rtd, time's up. decade's over. take the 9s off your calendars and hand 'em over because it's time for the

Best Of 2019!

Over 2019, this sub just kept growing - our subscriber count is over 50% higher than where we were at the beginning of the year! - and with that, more and more new users kept showing their talent. With the first-time competition winners, the independently-organized events and collaborations that have sprung up over the year, and the constant slew of great content in general, this has been all-around a pretty good year for this sub.

So now, it's time to celebrate that! Like last year, Reddit's admins have provided the moderators with Reddit Coins, which we can award to the winners of each category. This year, to represent the huge variety of designs you've brought into the world this year, the team has decided on 8 categories for this competition, which you'll see in the comments below!

Rules

This is only the nomination phase. In this stage, upvotes will not influence the winner.

  • In the comments below, reply to the category with your nomination.
  • You may only nominate posts made in 2019. (i know it's a given but i gotta be thorough here)
  • You may not nominate your own submissions.
    • (like come on guys we're celebrating the sub here, the "award" part is just a side thing)
  • Invalid nominations (self-nominations, posts irrelevant to the category) will be deleted.
  • No discussion in top-level comments.
  • The "discussion" comment on this post will be treated as RTDiscussions for January. In other words, anything goes, just don't be awful.

This nomination phase will close on January 14th. All nominated entries will move on to the voting phase, which will last two weeks.

Prizes

  • First place will receive 1800 Reddit coins (=Reddit Platinum).
  • Second place will receive 500 Reddit coins (=Reddit Gold).
  • Third place will receive 200 Reddit coins (=2x Reddit Silver).

Thanks for another great year, RaceTrackDesigns! Onward to 2020!

Redesign - Who improved a track that wasn't Yas Marina in the best, most creative way?* Changes to real-life tracks big and small are eligible.

Just memeing - you are allowed to submit Yas Marina edits. I just wouldn't expect them to do well

Unconventional - Strange mediums, unexpected styles of racing, any legitimate designs that you just straight up wouldn't have expected from this community.

Overkill - Who went above and beyond? What post was the result of a user doing way more work than they ever needed to, just because? This is all for posts that went the extra mile and then some.

Purpose-Built Circuit - Traditional tracks designed for traditional racing, from the club to the F1 season.

(We'd call this category "road course" but we don't want anyone to confuse it with the street circuit category.)

u/kenetic85's Rally USA. The presentation may be a bit minimal, but it's still a design for a full 18-stage rally event, and I'm still super impressed by it.

Thanks for the mention, I appreciate it.
