While poking around the Remote Racing section of the official GT5 “My Home” website, GTPlanet user Yonis made an interesting discovery: the site has been loaded with 24 logos for tracks which aren’t currently playable in the game. Here’s how he did it (hint: the images are publicly available on Polyphony Digital’s web servers if you can decipher their file names), and here’s what he found:
- Super Speedway
- Driving Park (20r60r)
- Apricot Hill
- Citta di Aria
- Costa di Amalfi
- Grand Canyon
- Hong Kong
- Ice Arena
- Infineon Raceway
- Driving Park (Kashiwa)
- Las Vegas
- Midfield Raceway
- Twin Ring Motegi
- New York
- George V Paris
- Opera Paris (Tarmac)
- Seattle Circuit
- Seoul Circuit
- Swiss Alps South
- Tahiti Maze
- Valencia Circuit
- El Capitan
- Cathedral Rocks (Dirt)
- Cathedral Rocks (Dirt Mini)
- Cathedral Rocks (Dirt Short)
Yonis pointed out these images are accessible under a GT5-specific image directory on the gran-turismo.com website (…/gt5/remote_race/common/courselogo/) and sized appropriately for the GT5 remote racing site. It should also be noted the tracks above have never been seen together in any GT game – Valencia was not in GT4, while Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and George V Paris were absent from GT PSP.
It is impossible to know exactly what these images are doing on the GT5 web site, though it’s tempting to speculate… El Capitan has already been seen in Gran Turismo 5 via the accidentally-leaked Red Bull “Horse Power” trailer, so we know at least a few of these updated circuits must be floating around Polyphony Digital’s offices.
Whether or not they’ll be coming in future updates to GT5 – or if they’ll be saved for Gran Turismo 6 – remains to be seen. Regardless, kudos to Yonis for this discovery, and thanks to Dylans1o for the tip!
***UPDATES***
Yet another track logo for “Super Speedway” has been discovered on the site, bumping the total number to 25. This logo is particularly interesting as it represents a circuit not seen since Gran Turismo 3. GT4 and GT PSP instead used Twin Ring Motegi’s actual “Super Speedway” and represented the track with Motegi’s logo. Though the overall shape of the original course (it was in GT2 as well) and the Motegi course are the same, their surrounding backdrops were very different.
There have also been questions about when, exactly, these image files were uploaded to Polyphony Digital’s servers. As noted by user MitsuStigi in the comments, this information is revealed in the image’s HTTP response headers, many of which show a date of March 9, 2011 or January 28, 2011. The Remote Racing website was launched with GT5 v1.06 on February 18th.
FYI all:
E3 2011, Major DLC track pack(s) announcement by PD , made available at moment of announcement (will coincide with psn/gt5 update)
It would be awesome if they brought back red rock valley special stage route 11. also midfield raceway at night in rain wud be sweet
Where is the comment of Polyphony Digital from a few weeks ago saying that there will be a huge update coming soon with those tracks???
The longer they go without releasing anything, the less likely any release becomes at all.
The majority of people they are relying on to buy any DLC would be casual players of the game; players whose interest in GT5 will have already dropped dramatically, probably to the point where they wouldn’t even buy any DLC if it was released because they have all moved onto whatever the latest craze is.
Unfortunately the upload dates of these images give you hope, but I think they are more of a cock-tease than a realistic prospect, because the tracks that are listed above are probably more numerous and better than the tracks the game shipped with (which was in my opinion a pretty poor track list, all things considered)
Why would you release your grade A material after people have generally lost interest in a game to the point where the DLC won’t generate much revenue?
For me, the lack of tracks in this game is it’s biggest problem. It has many others but with more environments in which to race I can easily overlook them.
squadjot found two more!
1. Piazza Del Campo (originally intended to be in GT5, but was taken out for unknown reasons aside from the flag…)
2. Grand Canyon Short Track from GT4 Prologue!
The news needs to be updated with these two tracks!
Notified Jordan.
Proof that they’ve been found.
I looked up squadjot and he hasn’t posted this info, so how do we know this is true?
DLC DLC DLC
More rally tracks :D
All will be revealed in time….
I agree with the comments that tracks may already be embedded on the Bluray disc. They did this with GT5P (Norscheife and Le Sarthe I think) which were unlocked by some code or something for the Le Mans 24hr display set-up they had at the event.
I would imagine that there will be a spec 2 edition. Perhaps launched in time with Forza 4, or maybe to boost sales when the game eventually goes to platinum.
Eitherway, i’d like to see the return of Midway, Twin Ring, Costa de Amalfi, Seattle, Driving Park and Infineon Raceway. A few new premium additions to the dealership, and some motorcycles to race (and probably knock over), then i’ll be pretty happy.
Fingers crossed….
Awesome! But only one can hope, so I will take this with a grain of salt.
Hopefully it does come because it’ll add more variety for racing online, because it gets kind of repetitive.
I’m surprised no one seems to have made the link to the “big announcement” from Polyphony which is coming soon?
http://www.gtplanet.net/polyphony-digitals-next-project-before-march-2012/
I’d bet that they simply uploaded things to the wrong directory.
Used to love costa d’amalfi. Sure hope they bring it back
Grand Canyon Track was used in the 2005 GT5 Trailer, where they talk about the new way they have used to create the tracks – Lazers and scanning the areas, and I do miss Grand Canyon for rally, actually I miss more rally like tracks for GT5, more narrow tracks like in Richard Burns rally and Dirt2-3, I do hope they will arrive one day, because it’s really not that exiting as it is now ( My opinion ) PaceNotes is of course the biggest miss, but that is just gonna hang on as a dream scenario I think :0) New York is also a great track, like Infinion Race track ( Road curse), which is a must have, when Nascar is in the packets, it’s a very tough track for Nascar drivers in real life, because of the None one turn Track hehe.. Anyways I Do love GT5, so please don’t see my input as complaining, I just want more Hehe..
Also:

(GT2 Super Speedway).
I miss those cars :(
LOL, It took them until yesterday to give me my bonus digital content for competing in GT Academy, which I did back in January. But they’ve got a whole bunch of new tracks all created and ready to go? Uh-huh. Maybe GT6 will be out in time for this Christmas too.
You guys can keep fantasizing about some logos found on a website – I’m a bit too busy actually racing on a fantastic selection of tracks – in other games.
MIDFIELD
I think the number one thing we got going is a lot of those tracks are originals – maybe all of which could be completed right now but are just in limbo waiting for the completetion of the real world tracks to complete a pack for DLC.
Very interesting, but I don’t wanna read too far into this just to be let down later on… :(
Uhhh, ok anonymous, we know your not helping. No need to point it out…..
1. you’re*
2. I’m not helping? I am talking about MoLieG, who said a comment that is not really helping out in this discussion. How is it that I am not helping?
Further proof that a command of the english language does not necessarily equate to the ability to conceptually understand it…..
Are we to assume then that “anonymous”, and “emeraldpython” are one and the same?
What Greg was commenting on is that posting “Still not helping.” in response to an otherwise valid comment, expressing an opinion relavant to the article/discussion, but one that could admittedly be interpreted has potentially inflamitory, is in no way “helping out in this discussion” any more than than you perceive the OP to be doing so.
Niether is correcting grammar on the internet for that matter. A fruitless act akin to banging one’s head against the wall, and a clear demonstration of a possible excess of fundimental knowledge, but a lack of practical wisdom.
Indeed, it’s your right to post such things, but from the looks of it, your simply ignorring the first comment would have had the same result, minus Greg’s response. Otherwise, people just went on discussing the OP has if you never posted about it anyway.
In other words, has Greg said, you’re not helping either.
Before he/they waste a post nitpicking all Brad’s spelling errors, here’s a spellchecked version…lol, just posting it again with the fixes could actually be shorter.

Yeppers, doubt this is helping either. But who cares? :P
lol on the spell check thing brad.
Won’t believe it until Sony or PD speak… sorry guys, Kaz seems perfectly fine with this good yet small game…
Still not helping.
small? it takes most of the ps3s disc space more than any COD & noones complaining about COD describe what you mean by small.
I think he was refering to the lack of events and such, which is small compared to previous versions, not the size of the program on disk.
oh well ok then there arn,t many events so i have to agree.
Considering GT5 is packed full of unnecessary extras such as museum cards, B-spec, photomode etc and missing essentials such as a decent number of races, tracks and premium cars, core Gran Turismo players like myself and many others will remain dissatisfied with this “good yet small game” until PD refocus and deliver the goods. What GT5 misses, I find with S2U and I love it!
I don’t know who this core of GT players you refer to is, but I’ve been playing since the first one, and the last thing I want is for GT to become more like shift 2. Yes, I own shift, and shift 2, but I haven’t played shift in a week because I ran out of cars i’m interested in, and the game keeps freezing.
In fact, Many of my long time GT friends like b-spec and photomode, though I admit most could care less for museum cards and horn collections. Granted, we don’t speak for everyone, but most of us are not nearly has dissapointed has some would claim the “core” is, and would have been very happy with what we have now if it only had twice the a-spec career events.
It oftens seems to me that the loudest complaints from the supposed “core” seemed to be voiced primarily by people who never played any GT older that GT4, fell head over heels for hype every long term player knew was just that, and allways seem to think GT5 should be more like some other arcade racer game. If that’s what the core of GT players has become Then the i’m proud to say I am not one of the core players anymore.
Adding 25 unique tracks to GT5 would be an instant win of epic proportions.
I highly highly highly doubt that these logos have anything to do with any form of DLC for GT5.
If I remember correctly some of these tracks were in GT4 and GT3, so probably just archive material.
They need to get complex string back in there! I was drifting on that back in the day! I doubt we will see most of this.
48/2(9+3)=?
288. And the point is?
I freaking hated P.E.D.M.A.S.
Why did you have to remind me of that crap?
Lmbo. XD
The answer is two.
(9+3) + (9+3) = 24
48/24 = 2
d’pends how you interpret it
Yes, matter of interpretation has it seems purposely written in such a way has to mislead or confuse. Checked my awnser with a scientific calculator has “48/2X(9+3)” and it gives me “288”, like I originally got with P.E.D.M.A.S. and my interpretation of where to apply the multiplyer.
If I enter it into the same calculator exactly has “48/2(9+3)”, without adding a symbol for multiplication between “2” and “(9+3)”, I get “4”.
And of course the “(9+3) + (9+3) = 24, 48/24 = 2” interpretation certainly arrives at “2” has the awnser.
So unless the author of the original equation gets arround to clarifying how they ment to have it interpreted, there are at least three “right” awnsers right there.
But, on the bright side, I now understand the point of posting it here in the first place, lol. Just to mess with us apparently…
Irony is, I found this while taking a break from calculations I was doing for “Orbiter 2010” (google it), has I was tired of doing the math for a flyby of Jupiter, and now I am going back to orbiter just because I find the tedium of space navigation preferable to this realatively basic, but mischievious little equation. XD
2*(9+3) and 2(9+3) are exactly the same except in a more complex string such as 48/2(9+3). In this case, the rule is 2(9+3) will always get the priority as the absence of a multiplication sign makes it a single entity. 48/2(9+3) = 48/(2*12) = 48/24 = 2. Sebblz is right.
A simple google search shows they are both right, with almost (note the almost) every calculator, programing language, etc, favoring the 288 awnser has they are programed with the same P.E.D.M.A.S. rules Brad used. However, not everyone is taught the same way, and in this case that difference causes conflicting awnsers. Arguing which one is right or wrong is pointless, because neither is wrong by the method applied.
On the same note, arguing that 2*(9+3) and 2(9+3) are exactly the same thing while technically true, doesn’t wash in the real world. I’ve tried it both ways with two home calculators and a couple online calculators. 3 of them gave me 4 using 2(9+3), like brad said, and the other gave me 288. All of them gave me 288 when using 2*(9+3). Obviously that’s an interpretation problem even umongst the calculators, and that interpretation issue has otherwise been agreed on allready humanwise. Humans make the calculators, so the interpretation issue would likely transfer to the machine has well.
Fact is, people can argue about this untill they turn blue in the face but it won’t get them anywhere.
Lol guys!!!sorry i just had to try it!!
FYI, Driving Park 20r60r is Beginner’s Course, while Driving Park Kashiwa is Motorland.
It would be nice if they are going to eventually add new tracks, they be real circuits like the ones run in F1 or GT1 or GT3 or even Grand Am/ALMS.
Sony and PD have spoken?
Hope this does get released through a DLC or Update. I need to see that Valencia Track in HD!
I just want the GT3 versions of Seattle, Apricot Hill, Super Speedway, Mid-Field, and Rome Circuit in. Would gladly pay up to $10 to get back some of my best memories, and might pay $15 while sporting a frownie face.
Somebody at PD is having a lot of fun at this moment.
:))
I smell 5 DLC track packs of $5 each :p
(its still sony, and sony likes money)
Add these 25 tracks, make all cars premium, and what do we have? probably GT6.
I don’t expect allot from these logo’s, they don’t prove anything, especially since High Speed ring has been listed, its an old track that is practically the same as the Motegi track, so there wouldn’t be any use to making High Speed ring. This makes me think the logo’s aren’t important.
I would agree IF the didn’t have different upload dates. The only reason I can see them being there is if PD is internally testing these tracks for b-spec races.
Well, you’re jumping way ahead. I don’t think we’ll ever see 1,000 cars all premium.
25 new tracks however is much more realistic and extremely exciting! Many of those tracks are PD originals which could be rendered already or even completed between release and now.
Something tells me that ultimately this is PD’s chance to try DLC and we definitely won’t be disappointed in the future – but at the same time I have my reservations because with new systems and processes come new problems.
I wonder if there’s a code for Pikes Peak?
And codes for Tahiti Rally Circuit and Smokey Mountain…remember, those were the same courses that were hidden in GTPSP.
Woot!! Keep updating us with more news!! I really hope PD confirms or denies this soon so we know! Preferably confirms ;)… *cough cough* PD ;)
The plot thickens…
In Holland there’s a saying about making someone happy with a dead sparrow.
I hope these won’t be dead links soon because that wouldn’t make me happy…
Not holding my breath. But will dust off my copies of the game if they refresh it.
Tried accessing the site with the link above, it says the page is forbidden. This just keeps looking more and more like it could be somthing we could see very soon.
You can’t hot-link directly to images on gran-turismo.com because they’re protected by referring URL. Enter the address to the image in your browser’s address bar and you’ll be able to see it.
It’s a conspiracy! Free tinfoil hats for everyone!
Hope this is gonna be free if it is coming
I would gladly pay money for a track pack of this magnitude.
How long have these images been there, before Yonis discovered them? That’s what I would like to know.
Probably a month? Check the actual images from gran-turismo.com

Modified: Wednesday, March 09, 2011 9:00:24 PM
I hope this is somewhat incomplete. I REALLY want Pikes Peak to be in this game.
I hope so, too. Remember what Red Bull said? Could be possible.
Yonis found another one: It looks like it´s super speedway!!
Yonis found another one: It´s super speedway!!
Er…which Super Speedway?
1. The GT2/GT3 Super Speedway?
2. The Twin Ring Motegi Super Speedway?
3. A new and random Super Speedway?
Never mind, it’s number #1…
I think to expect something so major given the recent events in japan is unrealistic and a bit selfish but PD really dropped the ball with GT5 from the get go. bring on seattle and some DLC cars…how many cars did we get that were new to the GT series anyway?
They have to make EBISU track and all the drifters will be pretty happy :P
I’m salivating!
Imagine if PD are reading the news and see this and have a massive faceplam. Because whatever tiny evidence the fans get they will blow it out of proportion. Then again I could be wrong and this could actually be DLC.
Lots of similarities to the List Spied on polyphony pc’s in the Nurgurgring 24h video…

Aren’t these just logos from past GTs? Probably came over with the standards.
I’d be happy with just Infineon Raceay, Seattle, and some track with a 400m race.
Guys why do you get so excited? Would’nt it be more great if the actually released som REAL race tracks?
Spa, Yas Marina, Imola, Silverstone, Zandvoort, Valencia, Barcelona for example instead of crappy fiction ones?
Ahh, I enjoy fantasy tracks just as much because it feels real. They probably won’t add more real tracks because:
1. People will be picky on how real it actually looks
2. takes a hell of a lot of time
Yep. These can wait until GT6.
Infineon Raceway was a great track, Midfield Raceway was also pretty good!
I see another cycle of people getting overhyped by some logos on the track, then immediately complaining once the patch itself comes out:(
I also hope these tracks will be in, but it’s just too early to think that they will be coming in within the next month.
How reasonable the complaint is will depend on the quality of the update. If it’s just a patch to fix yet another loophole to exploit, then I can see why people complain about it, although IMO, it’ll be meh, nothing important update to me. However, if the same act happens if late April/May comes around with a huge update of things we want, but no new tracks, then I’ll assume that people expect too much out of this game.
Really, they can’t complain if the next update turns out not to have the tracks since PD never officially promised more tracks.
Maybe all this tracks are in the GT5 disc already like the hiddebn track in GT5p. It just needs to be unlocked.
You know what, thats quite clever. Thats totally possible.
Maybe monkeys will come flying out of my butt.
Maybe you are not helping at all, BWX.
slightly offtopic, but in Mafia 2 they did just this. Free Ride mode was included in the original release, just hidden from players. It was later on included in a dlc and unlocked from main menu.
Bite it anonymous, neither are you. At least mine was funny and had a point.
How was it funny and how did it have a point, BWX? It was nothing but sarcasm and stupidity.
Plus, you are rude.
Plus, it just wasn’t funny.
Plus, the fact that you thought it was funny made it even less funny.
Plus, I now have this disliking for you, despite only ever seeing 2 things that you have posted.
This would be good if some of the tracks become available. Remember, in old trailers for GT5, there were tracks shown that aren’t in GT5, like that drag strip at the airport with the 787B racing with the airline in the background. I recall another shot where a rally car was racing at the Grand Canyon. And we already know about the accidental shot of El Capitan. Along with the tracks that were in GT PSP, I think we should expect a SERIOUS update in the near future.
… now if only there were some clues about new cars (Audi RS4, RS5, TT-RS, VW Golf GTI, Golf R, Scirroco R, Ford Focus RS, RUF recent models, Koenigsegg, Lotus Exige, Hyundai Genesis Coup, Pagani Zonda F, Cadillac CTS V sedan and coup, Aston Martin One 77, Ford Mustang Boss 302, Super Snake, Nissan GT-R Z-tuned, KT X-Bow, Capparo T1, Ariel Atom, Mazda RX8 R3, juuuuuuuust to name a few).
Sorry had to name off JUST IN CASE PD is reading this.
agreed.
all of that.
“like that drag strip at the airport with the 787B racing with the airline in the background” You know what the TopGear Test Track is, don’t you?
Whats a standard track? They all look amazing in GT5 anyways :S
Yes, the tracks look fine when you’re racing around, but on some (Autumn Ring for example)the people in the grandstands look flat as cardboard cutouts. Its a pretty minor issue to me since any photo mode pics get taken with a slow shutter to blur the background just enough to not matter.
Is Chamonix GT4 there as well?
i m agree with you Mohamu, Spa is one of the best!!!!!!
hope kaz and pd will read those lines!!!
I’m so patient, but there are still a lot of problem with the game.. qualifying bugs, network stability problems, etc, I don’t think it is the best thing what they can put in an update..
Of course I would be so impressed if these track would come into the game, but to be honest, the greatest tracks are still not on the list.. Just 1 example: SPA Francorschamps…
BTW, gp PD, don’t stop, keep on working, the stuff is great!
/We still pray for Japan!/
Even if it true, still not impress. All it need is standart cars converted in to premium then i’ll be happy
Yeah. Not helping at all.
You are SOOOO NAIV !!!!
I would love to know why valencia circuit wasn´t in GT5 in the first place…
Weak up guys :)
This list is for GT6 for 2018….
Better yet, the list of STANDARD tracks in GT6!
Weak up yourself
I’ll get excited when I see “Complex String – Confirmed” and a “Gymkharna Creator – Confirmed”!
Midfield racewayyyyyy :) I LOVE THAT TRACK.
Have driven that track an untraceable amount times :D
READY for more! :)
Pitched a tent.
I would love to have some of these tracks even as a “standard” version… *hint, hint, nudge nudge*
I fear that even if these are implemented they’ll be just like Autumn Ring in GT5…
Standard tracks anyone?
As said before… i only want the complex string, ssr11, and swiss alps or smokey mountain…
Sounds good. I loved the Hong Kong track, brought me good times :D Hopefully these tracks are coming to GT5 via update, or at least as DLC.
all those tracks and Infineon Raceway is the only one i care to see.
Smokey Mountain and Special Stage Route 11 please!!!! O_O
To be honest I dont think we wil be seeing any one of these tracks in GT5 let alone all of them. I hope I am wrong but I dont think so.
Nobody from PD has denied this yet, and this story has been posted all day today.
theres a GT5 glitch i saw on utube & u can probily make easy $$$ on it im not sure if u can make cash on it if so it needs a patch i 4got wat trac it was actuilyy i hope they patch it b4 it gets populer
No idea what your saying, practice up on you english there chump
.. there is a new Gran Turismo 5 Glitch it is currently not major but easy to do & i assume you can make mony off of it like the others. i,d tell you where it is but i don,t want to start the newest cash glitch
discard this 1.09 knocks u back in track
“No idea what your saying, practice up on you english there chump”
@MickeyD: “you’re* saying,” “practice your* english”
i watched evry word carefully for spelling, im guessing you live in the UK cause you said “chump” the us & uk have slightly diffrent words & stuff so maybe part of the reason why? IDK but most peaple in the us would be able to read.
@anonymouse wait a sec are you in anonymouse?
@Masonite:
1. It’s anonymous. Without the ‘e’ at the end. I even clearly spelled it correctly. This pet peeve really kills me. GET IT RIGHT!
2. Watch your spelling.
3. “@anonymouse wait a sec are you in anonymouse?” What the hell does that mean?
? are you in it? i noticed i spelled it wrong btw my bad =( im not sure how that glitch i mentioned above would word but i do know the glitchers found a new glitch for the track 1.09 patched. & stop being mean about misspelt words just say *then the word i misspelt. anonymous has alot of hackers in it wich dosn,t matter if what there targeting is bad but when they target random peaple or go to far thats the thing i don,t like about them but there goals are uisily good.
starting something takes two peaple & i think if this continues on it might start something so im not gonna post to this post anymore
“anonymous has alot of hackers in it”
Ouch. So you say that I have a creature made up of hackers:
http://hyperboleandahalf.blogspot.com/2010/04/alot-is-better-than-you-at-everything.html
That’s one powerful alot you created there, Masonite…
I’m not gonna bother correcting the rest of your alien gibberish since that is very hard to understand. Please see an English teacher before you continue commenting and destroy everyone’s sanity. Thank you.
Its important to discern whether or not the images were previously posted in the directory or not. Were the discovered to have been added, or just discovered to be there period? If they were recently added, they would have much lend more merit to the update rumor.
Would be nice if those tracks are added but I would like to see more real world tracks added like Silver Stone, Road America, Dubai etc.
If they release these tracks for DLC then they should call the pack “First strike”
And also….they should come up with one generic interior that would suit all standard models, along with rim changing capabilities for them as well….
Not sure about the interior, but allow a correct hood cam view for all cars. It shouldn’t be too hard as the camera can be moved to wherever they want since the game is on the fly polygonal design. Not sure why they haven’t included this from get go, but it would help with the issue of no in car view for standards.
They probably didn’t add a hood cam view because the hoods on the standards are low res textures and low poly and would look like crap close up.
Actually, now that I think about it, that must be the answer to why no hood view. They would have to at least create high-res textures for the hoods of all standard cars that use a hood cam. They didn’t have the time to do it, or it wasn’t a priority for them.
To all you Brits- hood = bonnet
I’d pay 30 bucks for all of these tracks.
Oh dear god, please let us have more city tracks. I like having a nice drive around London and Rome, but I need more city tracks. I am only 14 so i don’t have a licence so GT5 is my only way of driving. PLus I am a huge car nerd so yeah…
Wasn’t there a video that showed the long street version of Eiger Nordwand, RedBull released information about Pikes Peak, the whole thing with the italy Go-kart track, now this.
This is too obvious.
If a GT5 add-on or expansion-pack disc came out with all these tracks and a lot more a-spec events that doubled or tripled the current 127 race count in GT5’s a-spec, I’d pay up to $50 for it no problem. It would have to tie into current GT5 a-spec though, and extend XP levels and basically give us a lot more to do with all the cars and tracks in GT5 and really and truly expand GT5. If it was only these tracks for practice and multiplayer, with no a-spec expansion, I wouldn’t pay more than $25 for it.
The oblem is this makes way to much sense though, and it seems to me if something makes sense, PD and Kaz do the opposite. Basically the chances of something cool like this happening to GT5 anytime soon are slim to none. That’s the reality of the situation. We can hope though, just like we hoped for damage in a-spec mode, really good AI, GT4 sized a-spec, save points in endurance races, more rally events in a-spec… weather and time change on more tracks, multiple setup save slots per track (or any at all)… Stuff like that.
too many tracks … i highly doubt its gonna be an update or even a dlc for money …
maybe they wanna start a poll so they know whats the most wanted track n start working on it .. maybe
IF this news is true and it will be coming to gt5 in a later update, I don’t think it’ll be one we have to pay for. Considering that they were supposed to be in the game from the start. I really hope this news is true though…
Seattle and New York!!!! Great cities with great tracks!
Holy sheit…I just thought of something.PD patched GT5 all the way till patch 1.09…lemme repeat that 1.09.Okay, got it?SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..they wanted to get to a nice 1.10 patch which is going to be bigger than all the others(at least 1Gb in size) which will (hopefully) include these tracks.Welp, that’s my theory
damn… no Spa
Nah its not gonna be about unlocking more tracks/races going up to level 80 if they added more its going to be unlocking them by having the licenses like the the old games! Least thats what I hope if they added new tracks
This could just be a track image database for the website. Since all of these tracks were in past games at one point or another, that’s all I cam come to believe at this point.
Who knows what PD has up their sleeve but you would have to expect some news from them by E3. Also, I’m sure they will want to counter Forza in some way later this year.
It is a good time for PD to also help with the tremendous difficulties in Japan. We all want new content, cars, tracks, motorcycles, whatever and I think we are all willing to pay for some good content. What better time to release some DLC and give all of the proceeds to the victims of the 11Mar11 earthquake? Come on PD, we all want to help.
Lets hope this will be DLC (^_^)
I will pay for it!
Hey, what about these tracks!???
1. Grindelwald
2. Red Rock Valley
3. Tahiti Road
4. Test Course (As Previously Mentioned above)
5. Seattle Short
6. Super Speedway (The Version we saw in GT2!)
7. Rome Circuit (Not the sucky one in GT5!)
8. Rome Short
9. Smokey Mountain North
10.Smokey Mountain South
11.Tahiti Dirt Route 3
12.Pikes Peak Hill Climb (Both directions?)
These were all great tracks that were in past GT games….. these should come back and probably will look great too.. My favorite being the old Rome Circuit layout and Red Rock Valley.. what do you guys think?
Oh and I forgot to mention these here as well…
13. Motor Sports Land
14. Rome Night!!!
These tracks are most important, the rest i don’t care about:
1. Grindelwald
3. Tahiti Road
For me personally, only the top 3 really matter.
Super Speedway (that one with canopy at turn 3-4) would be good for NASCAR!
Not to mention Rome Night, Special Stage Route 11 (both GT1 and GT3) and Complex String!
Nice set of courses, but Super Speedway has changed and it’s also part of Twin Ring Motegi and the one from GT2 is different. It has that canopy leading into the last corner which is no longer there. I agree with the Rome circuit from GT of old, was a much better course. The Spain course in GT5 is pretty lame and uninteresting, Rome Night would be a great remedy to this. I’m about to go play GT2 some more as I’ve got some nostalgia going right now. Tahiti Road here I come. PD needs to add that random race series generator like they had in GT2, that was pretty awesome and in included tuned up autos to race against too. Red Rock Valley was my favorite course to boot, looks just like a real high tech race course.
AHEM. SavageEvil, GT2/GT3 Super Speedway is completely different from Twin Ring Motegi Super Speedway!
YES!!! Awesome find!!
I feel that GT was poorly produced, as much as I love the game, its quality is lower than gt4.
These tracks should have been in the game from the offset, I mean 800 cars from gt4 but hardly any tracks?
They wasted so much time showing off and not enough time to build it. I feel this will be free of plus members and £14.99 for everyone else.
Sony and MS would never give you free stuff with a racing game, it makes no buisniess sense even to Yamuchi san.
DLC with updated standard cars (the top 50 in OCD) and some of these tracks for free is cool with me, but for the love of god CHANGE THE EXP RATE.
Im now on 32 A 34 B and its a joke, only endurances left and Im not burning out my ps3 until there are saves!
Yes! Citta Di Aria my old favourite! I hope they put these out!
This has to be too good to be true.
I’m prepared to pay anything up to €3 for a new track. :D
Just when I think I’m completely done with this game, something like this pops up.
I’m looking forward to find out if we’ll be getting these tracks in some massive update.
Seems like it’s pretty likely that the next update will be 2.0, considering were already on 1.9.
The current version is 1.09, not 1.9. Quite a difference, there! :)
FAIL
Thats a point, maybe the level cap at 50 is there for a reason, perhaps new tracks and cars would involve increased levels, hope so….
wer did you find these tracks? i looked in the GT5 photo section & didn,t see anything then i checked featured & even the GT3 PHOTO section
boring … dont wont old boring tracks again.. pleaes for the love of god add some new tracks to gt series already GOD
Whats wrong with having everything PD have ever created? Obviously new is great, but theres nothing wrong with having everything in PD’s library available to us.
We were discussing this on another forum. These should have been in the game from the beginning. They are PD’s own intellectual property and they don’t have to pay anyone any rights to use them like a real world track. For that reason alone they should have jammed this game full of all their own tracks past and present to extend the play of this game.
its a gt website & not just 4 GT5 & remote racing but i do think its 4 GT5 & pretty amazing. what is that i smell? i smelll DLC coming soon =)
All of these would be excellent! Would it be greedy to have Pike’s Peak included if this does become DLC?
SEATTLE! This is very good news indeed. Of course, this doesn’t really prove that these tracks will end up in the game but it gives me hope! Good find!
Perhaps a lazy web developer just copied all the track logos from their central repository of images. I doubt he’s gonna go through and match up the track icons to what’s actually in the game.
CTRL-A, CTRL-C, ALT-TAB, CTRL-V.
this!
Free DLC with all these tracks plus Pikes Peak would probably right the wrongs for GT5 and rank it higher than GT4 and GT3, which currently is not the case. Previous tracks will always remain in every Gran Turismo fan’s hearts.
God!!! Please! That this means a DLC with new tracks and the cars converted to premium!!!!
I was hoping to see SPA in that list… *sigh*
What about the old GT4 Chamonix circuit?
And what does the 20r60r and the Kashiwa Driving Parks mean? Do they have to do with Test Course/Motorland/Beginner Course/Gymkhana?
Would be awesome to see test course… To achieve cars maximum speed…
@MrDave
there’s already a track for that. SSR7.
@damaged_case
I think he means reaching it AND KEEPING IT UNTIL YOU BURN ALL OF YOUR TIRES AN FUEL!!!
Give us new tracks Yamauchi san. I know at least I would be happy to pay good money for these tracks in GT5. Please reply to this message with the amount you would be happy to pay for a single track. If enough people reply maybe PD will see it and get a move on.
I’d happily pay £3.50 for 1 track
The sun aint free in Manchester, roughly £3.50 per 6 minutes on a sunbed haha :P
lol!
I hope they add these tracks as DLC, I miss the classics like Midfield, Apricot hill, drive park, swiss alps and hope they add Pikes peak. Also they should bring back Infineon.
OMG… Pikes Peak… Was very nice with psx graphics… Now imagine it with PS3 graphs…
They better add Pikes Peak. Red Bull had better true in what they said about Pikes Peak…
Yeah I can honestly say, with the adding those tracks in… the variation couldn’t get boring :/
It would be like NEW TRACKS, ok play them over and over, get bored… HEY REMEMBER THOSE OLDER TRACKS? play them over and over :D
Just an amazing repeating cycle!
I want these tracks in GT5 ASAP. Those tracks= more A Spec and B Spec events.
CITA-DI-ARIA!EL-CAPITAN!GRINDELWALD!
there will come nothing.
just give us GT3 with a little bit better graphic and online mode. then i will send my GT5 disc back to Kaz.
I would have said they were left overs from GT4, but the ‘Valencia’ circuit throws a spanner in the works.
Where’s Siena Kart as well? Since they complained it seems to have been wiped from existance.
Would be nice to have these old tracks back again, but pretty sure they will come in packs of 4 tracks at £20 bundles a bit like Call of Duty… they left them out deliberately to line their pockets at a later date, nothing free in this world chaps other than air :P
Don’t forget the sun… :P
they didn,t leave them out on purpose this is PD not EA & THQ,they just didn,t think to add it till now.
Want to know what GT5 is missing? See above.
Jerome
If PD has any idea what folks are willing to pay via DLC for some of these tracks…they’d have them at the ready.
Time to start watching Kaz’s tweets again. Hopefully we will get a confirm or deny soon.
The logos look GT4 ish.
Maybe if you read it again, you’ll see those logo’s ARE from GT4 and GT for PSP…
Please the next update will be 2.0? Hope all these good traces will be here !!!!
I would also be happy to pay (a reasonable amount) for this if it is released as DLC. Well, let me rephrase that. I would not be happy because I think these should have been there in the first place, but I would do it anyway. My two biggest gripes with GT5 remain the poor/limited track selection and the dual-physics problem. If they correct these issues I’ll be back playing GT5.
Dual physics?
Sorry if I’m being daft but, Dual physics?
Amatuer, Pro and Sim, I count 3.
Unless ive missed something?
TC on/off
Skid on/off
etc?
@dazaraa
Online and offline have different physics
@badman_99
Amateur pro sim?
Wtf u talking about?
Yeah there is off-line physics, and then a completely different feeling on-line set of physics. On-line has less overall grip with same exact car/track/setup off-line. On-line physics tend to be much more “oversteery”. Some car/track combinations are greatly affected by these differences, some car/track combinations don’t seem a whole lot different from off-line to on-line. It’s a pretty glaring issue with GT5 that somewhat spoils on-line racing to a certain extent.
ONE REACTION ABOUT THIS PD @!!!!!!!!!
The Paris thing is interesting as the Eifel tower is in the GT5 intro so I was suprised there wasn’t a track relating to this in the game :/
Good observation
No SSR11…
;_;
Yeah… that sucks…
Complex String or GTFO.
I really miss this track. Would be great on the PS3. Running a Ruf around it like in GT3.
For as much as that track sucked, i sure remember spending alot of time there.
As someone who never will buy DLC, I would break down and buy this, if it was offered as DLC.
Sony, PLEASE PLEASE add these tracks!! GT5 is by far the BEST racing game on the PS3!! I would pay any amount of money for GT5 to hav these tracks!! :) :) :) :)
I’m 100% sure that this would be paid DLC :)
I’d pay for that..
Well it must be then…
I’d pay it no matter the cost :)
Yep! Me too. Can’t wait.
GT5.5 hopefully. A-Spec lvl 80 here we go.
But you do know, you’ll have to grind 386.227.491 XP to reach Level 80? :P
Well, maybe Kaz and PD have realized the error of the a-spec ib GT5 and will fix it so there are more races in this new add-on or expansion pack.. GT5 spec II, GT5.5, c-spec, whatever they might call it. That is optimistic and wishful thinking though for sure. What is more likely is that we might see these in 4 more years in GT6, but a-spec in GT6 has even less races, like 50.. and it sucks like GT5 a-spec but shorter. GT4- 522 a-spec races, GT5- 127 a-spec races, GT6, 50 a-spec races. That would suck, but maybe they’ll kill A-Spec completely, who knows. I wouldn’t be surprise if they did.
these in GT5? not a chance in hell
I’m not holding my breath that’s for sure. It would be nice to see these tracks in GT5, but I just can not see it ever happening.
While these tracks would be an awesome addition(s) and most of them SHOULD have been in GT5, I just don’t believe they will be added to GT5. I think they are just logos in a folder…I hope I am wrong.
I think these logos are there because these tracks were being worked on, and couldn’t be finished in time. I could see them finishing up at least a few of them.
vegas baby! vegaaaaasssssss!
Tracks are nice, but please fix the god damned save file issue, its so crappy.
How can the GT5 load the save file in Version 1.0, but won’t load it in 1.09, its such B.S.
Would be awesome if they all made their way (back) into the game.
I don’t remember a Los Vegas course. Is that new?
It´s been a drag track in GT4, something about 400m.
Oh yeah, I remember that drag strip. I thought they were referring to an actual road/street course or something.
Fisco is Fuji Speedway. From the list there are three fisco’s: old, new and slalom. Old one is either 80’s layout or 90’s, with new being the 2005/2005GT layout. Now sure about slalom though.
Great find!
The slalom license tests in GT4 took place on Fuji’s front straight in a Z4.
Hong Kong, Midfield, New York, Seoul, awesome!! bring them back
I doubt this means ALL of these tracks will make an appearence in GT5. Even if it was true the upload size would be immense.
Thats what I’ve been thinking too. It would be a 10gig plus download most likely.
@Ferdbags
If so, how could we play those tracks on the PS2 with 8MB space?
Ps2 had dvd which is 4.7GB of data. Are you trolling or just dumb? 8mb was the MEMORY CARD. Which stored your saves.
Noobs
@ GT_Die_Hard
Also they were much lower quality on previous GT games, so they wouldn’t take up as much space
@GT_Die_Hard
What those guys said.
this sounds cool..well a few people might have forgotten but the Las Vegas strip was actually a drag strip for test running your cars only tho :( it would be amazing if they can add this one track to GT5 since everyone seems to be draggin there lil tires off lol..seattle circuit was one of my favorite tracks would love to see that one come back as well as new york (i live in new york so would be nice to drive a track thats in my state lol)..hope this is a sign for the future of GT
This is only intersting if these were uploaded after or around the time GT5 was released.
Otherwise they could have been there from before the track list was even decided
YEAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY
Surely too much tracks for a free update. However I care only about el capitan, really good track… even if there is nothing more to do than a good hot lap in this game.
I agree with you, but I don’t think the tracks are for GT5. Maybe they are the tracks that didn’t make it in the game & even if they are tracks for GT5 I’d expect paid DLC to unlock them. This is Gran Turismo 5 Prologue’s story all over again.
I really can’t wait for more DLC cars and tracks! :)And I’m sure we can all be sure of the fact that PD will release some DLC, so this might be the very good news! Good find. ;)
I would pay $100 for that pack as DLC!
Me too
€20, max.
Anything to get those good old tracks back! Midfield, Hong Kong, Driving park… I think im going to buy a new PS2 controller to play those again because im pretty sure they won’t come to GT5. (although i really hope so…)
I’d begrudge paying $10, to add content onto a game that was below par on release, content wise… and quality of content for that matter.
I think it is very possible we will see at least some of these tracks in A-Spec, i almost get the feeling that if Kaz could have, he would have delayed the release of GT5 another year to tweak and hone. Hopefully these tracks will be added, with special events attached to them or an expansion of A-Spec altogether, Kaz did say, this was just the start for GT5, new cars, new tracks…i can see it happening.
Its NOT VALENCIA..go look at the PSP ver. Its on there.hasnt been in any other GT except for GTPSP.
And Tourist Trophy.
This track pack if it is real.. will cost $39.95.
You don’t know that.
I’d pay that.
I discover 800 cars from GT4!!!!
lol… nice.
Interesting. I highly doubt that these tracks will make it to GT5 A-Spec, these 24 sites represent a third of the total track list shipped with the game. That would be a huge update and almost make GT5 an entirely new game. For that reason alone, I only see these track being used in Remote B-Spec, which is a shame.
Anyway, anything that adds to GT5 is a plus.
Here’s hoping.
You do realize that Remote Races are actually run on your own PS3 like any other race, and that it uses the same resources as A-Spec. If they were going to bother adding these tracks at all, they would have to be downloaded to your ps3 in DLC or update form, and could then be used for any mode they wanted.
I want these tracks. I hope that any DLC tracks come with full day and night/weather cycles.
This would not be a plus at all if they could only be used in B-Spec. If that was the case they should just upload videos of each track and let us watch cars go round. That’s about what it would amount to. I’d actually like to use these tracks again. Adding these to the game would extend the life of the game quite a bit as its severely lacking depth as it is.
Now everyone is going to expect all of these tracks within the next month and theyre going to be disappointed and pissed off when it doesnt happen.
No kidding.
Unless your like me and you already put the game down until they fix it. Between Mortal Kombat, Twisted Metal and Ace Combat, GT5 is out of sight, out of mind to me. Would love to suddenly have a reason to pick it back up though.
This would be too good to be true.. But man I miss Seattle Circuit so much ;___; I WANT IT IN GT5
Is definitely time for a DLC i bet all these tracks are already in GT5 disc, they just need to activate them.
Let’s not 4get Pikes peak either lol
Of course don’t forget the Pikes Peak!!! One of the best tracks ever!!!
Heck! I am even willing to pay for them as DLC.
Only issue I can see spoiling this, and I’m hoping I’m wrong because I’d love to see most of these tracks back, but wasn’t the only Las Vegas track to be used in the past GT the Drag Strip? How would a Drag Strip really be effective in a Remote Race? Plus I know many wanted the Drag Strip back, but really wouldn’t A-Spec make more sense than B-Spec? Don’t get me wrong, I’m hoping maybe they made a new Street Course on the Vegas Strip, or maybe they’re bringing in the actual NASCAR Track: Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Hopefully there is some truth to this, would love to see Infineon, The Twin Rings and Seattle back in GT. Really wish Pike’s Peak was on this list, that was fun.
since gran-turismo.com is the host site for all of the Gran Turismo games, not just Gran Turismo 5, i’m guessing that’s why those logos are there.
title should read “Gran Turismo Site Contains Logos For Every Track In Gran Turismo Series”.
that’s probably it and nothing more. It would be nice to see some of these tracks in GT 5, but I just don’t see it happening.
Too many tracks from other GT games missing for that to be the case ie Grindelwald, Red Rock Valley, SS Route 11 etc. Also, you must have missed this:
“Yonis pointed out these images are accessible under a GT5-specific image directory on the gran-turismo.com website (…/gt5/remote_race/common/courselogo/) and sized appropriately for the GT5 remote racing site.”
missed it. but still..
OH YEAH DRIVING PARK!
@ alucard0712, cheers for the heads up, been working for polyphony digital for long?
Some courses i was wanting to see and didnt was special stage route 11 and the test course from gt3…. Not the oval one but the 1 that u had to do in a time trial wih the ruf rgt… And hopefully an added number of cars to the premiums…. But all those tracks are enjoyable and i would love to race midfield online….
SSR11 is one of my favorites. However, given how much CSR5, SSR5 and even SSR7 use all those little lights for the buildings, trees and fireworks, I can see how Route 11 might affect framerates. I really wish for it though.

I know the one. Complex Course!
I just can’t see it happening.
It would be nice, especially test track and midfield. Some old favourites right there.
It’s GT4 tracks and logos for sure.
The Valencia F1 circuit was NOT in GT4, but there was the GP circuit in Tourist Trophy. Thats probably what it is. Their going to come out with another Tourist trophy, maybe add it on to GT5?
Was also in GT PSP.
Valencia was not in GT4 but you could put the track if you hacked the game or something like that,but it was possible.
check youtube
I dont know what Valencia its referring to. Was there a Valencia in GT4??? If not then its very likely its a new track for GT5 or a new game their coming out with.
Valencia was a track in GT for PSP. This one was not included in GT4.
Valencia was also featured in Tourist Trophy, the bike sim based on GT4 I believe.
It could be that they have those there from GT4, or it could be that they will throw them in with a big update.
I would be upset though that they didnt want to include another real world track like Spa franchorchamps. Alot of their tracks are short. It’d be nice to have some GP circuits in the 5-8 km range.
A track like Spa would be great for an endurance race. Wouldn’t be as much of a chore as some of the current endurance races!
Lets all get our hopes down so we wont be dissapointed if these tracks dont come and we’ll all explode when it does :)

Call me wierd but thats what i do in every day life haha
@ Thrasher:
You are totally right about that. But there will be DLC in the future! ;)But we shouldn’t expect all these tracks coming next week or something as a free update.
Oh dear Lord I hope this is true. I miss Seoul central. this would be a killer update to say the least!!!!
i hopen for alot of tracks. Capri, Aria, Seattle, Opera, Midfield. and also Seoul.
My first thoughts of this track where not so good. but there more in it then meets the eye.
Come on guys… aren’t these pictures actually the tracks from GT for PSP. As GT for PSP is also featured on that same site. The links does connect to a general image folder… hopefully I am wrong on this one. Would love to see those tracks in GT5 soon!
Hong Kong, Las Vegas, and George V Paris were not in GT PSP.
There were hidden tracks on the GTPSP game disc, some of which were accessible through hacking. It’s just a list and I wouldn’t be surprised if GT5 got the update.
^^He’s right. Check youtube.
I want Midfield Raceway the most, it’s been my favourite for ages.
When will we have TEST TRACK for our Multiplayer TOP SPEED SHOOTOUTS??
WE NEED THAT TRACK!!!
this would be a killer update..
We need Motegi for NASCAR! And sweet heavenly lord please let me have Midfield! I miss Midfield so much.
(GT2 Nostalgia)
Don’t Forget Infineon raceway. You can’t have NASCAR Road Racing without it.
didn’t even think about that one Race, good point
Doubt we’ll see infineon as the Infineon logos which are on the audi R8 race cars are blurred out in GT5 :(. Meaning there was licensing issues or something :(
Firmware 2.0 = massive track update please god
Yes!! Please!! I haven’t been this excited since Sliced bread.
Ooer! I do hope they release a content update with more tracks and races!
Apricot Hill, Midfield, Seattle.. Some nice favourites there.
And Valencia
I can smell a Spec II update here….
My money has a Spec II update coming within the same fortnight as FM4.
I highly doubt this will be an update. My money is on that this is just an image database because all of these tracks have been in past games at one point or another. Until I see 16:9 HD gameplay of a premium car in cockpit view with 15 AI, I will not come to believe these are for GT5.
They are just images, after all.
24 tracks? That’s an entire game for some developers.
I doubt very much we’ll see any of these tracks in GT5.
It would take PD years to do-up all these tracks to GT5 standards.
yes it would take years to do-up all. But they alread have been 6 years… so maybe there is some hope?
Maybe they just had them all along and were waiting for the right moment. 0_0
Please let this be a massive track update for gt5 in the form of DLC OR seasonal event, A-Spec event. eitherway we all need these track, 5 months ago lol but seriously PD we need, we want these tracks please thanks you all the best in Japan
Confirmed, new tracks coming in the next update.
Only one can dream.
Keep in mind this doesn’t “confirm” anything – these are still just images on a web server.
I will believe it when I see it. Only then will I unretire my GT5 copy since late December. This game sorely needs tracks/events.
Oh please dear god introduce some new events and not endurance. I really do hope we get some massive updates soon, including changes to the god awful xp system. Granted they get some slack due to whats happening back in Japan.
This is very good news!
