This is a new game and very niche, I do not expect it to have a lot of interest. I have therefore not created a Discord for discussions. The forum here should be used to raise any questions, or use the Message system to contact moderators directly if you are unsure about anything or wish to suggest new categories, e.g. All Collectibles
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).

e.g. Duisberg to Calais - apparently has some significance to those who are part of the Truckers MP community, and would likely be a new shortest run instead of Edinburgh-London. It's a minor road with twists and turns, and the ability to service-warp in RTA is complicated (until right near the end) due to the positioning of Brussels and Lille, which could mean some interesting experimentation.

Just wondering whether there would be interest in updating the Discord link for this to point to the one we have active for ATS? https://discord.gg/eJTJPrE
Generally we discuss new category ideas on Discord (invite link in the list on the left side of the screen) but in case people can't/don't want to use discord, new ideas can be surfaced here that can then be taken by us into the discord for community discussion.
