Interesting topic my friend!
In chronogical order
Tizio - He helped me out a lot when I was new to the Generally-world and after making a track with him I got really inspired (You can see his influence in tracks like Karso and Saint Mungo).
AleksiNir - Big influence in my style, he gave me tips about making my tracks more accurately.
Pahkasika - Since I really loved his tracks I started to try better layouts and different landscapes (Epica, Habe Ring and Kallisto Park).

Aleksi inpires DiSi! who's inspired by Aleksi...

[The lost Ninja]

Aleksi inpires DiSi! who's inspired by Aleksi...

It is often a fact that artists are inspired each other, just like Vincent van Gogh was inspired by Paul Gauguin.......and vice versa!

[Crowella]

In the same way that lately, Both Aleksi and DiSi inspire me for my circuits.

I am not too sure which track makers have inspired me. It has varied over time and with each circuit.

[Paw]

Surely:
with no particular order:
GR8Player aka JakGR
Crowella
Black Rebel aka David Garcia with his rwl's
Pahkasika
Qurpiz
lately also Aleksi and DiSi.

Well, I'm sure as I forgot someone. They helped me to estabilish some kind of my own style, but now... I'm getting bored by it! I'll try to make some changes, especially in enviroment around the track. Authors which I'll look at (or maybe their creations ) will be Crowella, JakGR, Aleksi and DiSi, as I found some nice details in their tracks. Btw. I'm very pleased, that I inspired someone!

[Qurpiz]

Let's bump this

I'm not going to put them in any order, but here goes:

Aeon: I was in awe for some of his tracks. I always hoped I could do them like he could
JimmyMetal: I think he's called _Jimmy_ nowadays. But damn I loved his metal-themed tracks back in the TDB. I still think some of his tracks are my favourites of all time.
Gabor Kozma: He used to destroy the [rwl] scene. No-one came close. I sometimes started a layout for Hockenheim or Hungaroring or whatever, then saw Gabor had, actuelly, made the perfect version of it and then I just stopped.
viralata: Made those 10/10 (sorry for using the F-word) headf***er tracks. Even if I've always disliked painted objects (and using mostly Lmap in the track), I do think his tracks were awesome.
Genetleman: The most innovative trackmaker, ever. Made some seriously great cars too.
Crowella: My good GR-friend from back in the day. Helped me with many of my tracks. I could never do the stuff he does.

And I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot of people. Nielske, Pahkasika, Markus Möller, Piet, Kory Miller, Flaming_Wuzzle are some names that come to mind after a bit of thinking.

Then of course, there are a lot of trackmakers who's work I like, but I don't think their work has ever inspired me like some of the guys above.

[Alex]

Qurpiz has already said most of the ones i also like (lol) so here are the rest of my inspirees (if that's even a word)
Maciej1 - He produces outstanding Lmap work that looks genuinely 3d. I like his GTA track the most.
Spykee - He made his tracks extremely artistic and beautiful, especially his Melbourne.
TuomoH - He can make a world size of 50 into a fun race.
Michkov - his tracks are extremly addictive, especially his oval which had a really clever pitlane.
Black Rebel - his original and remakes of his rwl tracks are "right beast", the Lmap sponsor boards, the details and even the smallest details e.g the Lmap umbrellas and Lmap tyre bridges.
Apopp - He got a first place in for a micro track.
Garbre - produced outstanding rally stages.
The Rabina brothers - proof that even the simplest tracks can be considered among the best.

[Areen]

1. Spykee - god of rwl
2. Maciej1 - master in every way
3. Black Rebel - fantastic land objects

[The MNZ]

Here is my list(it's by item get from, not by trackmaster):
Maciej1/Jimmy: The proof that i've based my skills on they is that, like they, my best track type is the street circuits.
Garbre/Maciej1: The LMap buildings are awesome.
Martyn: He is one of my best friends, result: i learned very much about trackmaking with him.
Black Rebel: I love his landmap cars.
Garbre/egamad: The creativity on trackmaking, one of my best atribuitions.
Trigger Happy: His criticism is a rare piece, as his tracks.
JakGR/Aeon/Kory Miller/AndHu/MdP/Gabor Kozma: Minor inspiration.

Bouncebackability, Canadiens1160, egamad, MegadriXxX, AleksiNir, Ms..., HJ, Mikey B, Darjo, future design, Gábor Kozma, Dan Belcher, Mizzamar, Paw, XYY, Qurpiz, TuomoH, Pahkasika, Dan Hakulín, Speedy47, spykee, Tom McKay, JaK GR, G. Marques, flip92, mith612, Markus Möller, Maciej1, GeorgM ... and I forgot surely many names.

I like something on so much trackmakers. But I'm not in love with few particular efforts, I cannot reduce the list.

[Herbal]

Thread moved to correct section, as it's about trackmakers, not tracks.

Do you noticed that alomst half of your list is actually(IMO) behind you on trackmaking?
IE:

• HJ
• Mikey B(IDKE)
• Canadiens(IDKE)
• Speedy47
• G. Marques
• XYY
• Tom McKay
• MegadriXxX
• Dan Belcher(IDKE)
• mith612(IDKE)
• flip92

You don't know their tracks and try to judge, if they are better than me or not? Very weird post.

BTW trackmaking isn't about absolute trues. Sometimes I'm astonished, how people confuse correct/wrong with I like/don't like.

BTW2 in tracks of these above I see something new - new opened path, direction, which they discover(ed) and others can follow with them and help to develop. I'm not sure if I ever did something like that (a kind of breakthrough/pioneering), I would say, that I'm more one of those, who build on experience of others (I think, that my skill is bit over-rated sometimes, no matter, how the fact, that you and others like the few my efforts, makes me personally very happy).

[XYY]

Well, seems I didn't tell you so far...
I really love Black Rebel's tracks. They are all top work. I of course like Maciejs tracks, too, but for me, some of them (mainly the street circuits and some of the permanent tracks, I don't speak of Lingotto ) lack something (I think it's the atmosphere). They're all cool and top jobs too, but
Markus Möller's tracks are just miracles, they inspire me but I always have to find out that I can't do it as awesome as he did
Then, Ivo's tracks (Specially his Avus and the Bridgehampton) and most of Crowella's, Gabor Kozma's and BBA's tracks are really nice and inspire me quite a lot.
Of course, if I see a nice idea at others, I also take the inspiration from them (e.g. some of Aleksi's and Darjos tracks, Pakahsias tracks, egamads tracks).
These are probably most inspirating for my trackmaking, though single tracks by other authors might be as well mentionable (that would require more space )

Btw it's nice that I'm also inspirating

This isn't the first time he's forced his opinion. When Doorslammer said that the hardest car to make was the Chevy Bel Air Manzur disputed that it was FnF tuned cars. When i thought that Daro05's St. Petersburg was among the top 10 tracks ever made for GR he argued with me and actually produced a list of what he thought was the top 10 tracks made. When will he learn to stop crashing threads and keep some of his opinions to himself? Over 800+ posts and he only joined in November.

[The MNZ]

I never thinked that i was so agressive on showing my opinion. I'm very sorry about everything that i have made here about it and i'd like to try fix it.

PS: And Alex, about post number i simply say "the hell". Isn't the post number that makes a good member.

[DuklaLiberec]

That's very hard to say for me, because there are many trackmakers who's tracks are amazing.

Circuits:
Maciej1 - Very good tracks, he's very sucessful in ToM.
BBA - Amazing works.
Black Rebel (aka David Garcia)- Like Maciej1, very good tracks.
nielske -Also a track making expert.
The admins (I mean Ivo, Herbal & TuomoH, who's tracks are also amazing ) And: Ivo won three ToMs.
Paw - especially Brigwene, what has won ToM 5/10.
Masa/Ms.. - He's not only an awesome carmaker, good trackmakers who can also make amazing cars are rare in our community.

Rallys:
egamad - Your tracks are fantastic!
haq - Also good rally tracks and rally trackpacks.
Maciej1 - I'm very happy when you release a new track.

BTW, I'm also registrated in the German GR community, PGR. So I shouldn't forget them.
Scholl - Good tracks.
Genetleman - Autumn X is an epic track.
zgr/zegarek/marc - Tropicana Bay Street Circuit is my favourite track of you.
And Crono! - It's a bit surprising for you, but I don't want to forget the most important member of PGR and because of GeneCraft, one of my favourite tracks what is made by a German member. Good job!
