A recently added map caught my attention, and I believe it is very deserving of this award.
Max Torque is a map by "Fedraltag", and was his first Rally, I assume after spending time on competitives and socials. However, the rally surpassed all my expectations from the minute I saw screenshot 1.
In Max Torque, turns are all interlocked smoothly, giving a wide track with no unexpected bumps. And to top it all off, the tunnel. The piece which could single handedly make a map beautiful, even if it were default foundry! A somewhat banked, angled, floating, INTERLOCKED tunnel!
"This cannot be your first race map!" Was the reaciton of the replies, and if you take Max Torque for a test drive, you'll see why!
Unfortunately that map was released too late to be counted
