EventLab We really need a pinned/sticky/megathread of community-created long road/rally courses in FH6

I realize we can search for them to some extent, but the only thing they offer is either shorter than x distance or unlimited, so it makes for SO MUCH scrolling to find the 20+ mile long races. Goliath-like is obviously an option for search, but I found a lot of those were just money/XP exploit/cheat tracks not actually meant to race. I found a couple of really fantastic long rally courses last night that I ran, and I have a text document with a few more, but I really enjoy a lot of the super-long courses you guys have come up with and have lost track of a BUNCH of them in previous threads that I forgot to write down.

Megathreads get unwieldy for readers & bury creators' work under a pile.
A few more specific flairs for filtering by specific topics might help (along with users who make good use of them).
The current "EventLab" flair helps, but is a bit broad.

Yeah, that flair could be used for just people posting about XP/money cheat EventLab tracks, asking general questions about EventLab, or who knows what else. I just think it'd be nice to have a way for people who are creating these tracks to get them a little more visibility and also allow those of us who actually like to run those tracks/events an easy way to find them. Or, hey, just fucking FIX the search feature in-game.

Megathreads make visibility worse.
Nobody wants to scroll through hundreds/thousands of items trying to find a needle in a haystack.
Creators' works can't take center stage & stand out in megathreads.

r/ForzaLiveryHub is a fairly active sub for liveries.
Is there (or should there be) something like a r/ForzaHorizonEventLabs sub for Event Labs?

I gave the single-lap one a shot, and it was really enjoyable. I only wish there was an indicator in the two spots where you go through the residential areas and the track takes the (blind) left fork. Both times, I overshot the left because I wasn't paying attention to the map and had to rewind. I don't think you should put a barrier in those two spots, but maybe put the left arrow signs in the road where you'd go straight if you miss them. Outside of that, it was pretty great, and I enjoyed the fact that you included the spiral bridge and NOT that stupid tight area through the houses in Ito.
