I know most people will disagree, but I hope it's not Road America. Just generally not interested in it. That being said, I do love Laguna Seca.
Looking forward to the event!

 

[queleuleu]

Please be Road America or Sebring...

Wdym??? Circuit of the America’s, Sebring and Road Atlanta are awesome! These have never been in GT before. Sonoma and Laguna Seca are great too, but they’ve been in previous GT Titles so those aren’t it. I know that’s your opinion though, which is ok.

 

[RUI]

It´s a new circuit to the series - but not necessarily in North America...

I don't know, maybe it's just because they've never been in any GT games before, and whatever track it is may be amazing, or it may be awful - which is why I'm a little worried. That's all

 

[Famine]

Imagine if it's Greenwood Raceway...

What is the new track?
We have been hearing some very interesting rumblings about a new track that is set to debut at the New York event. Nothing is solid enough to report on yet, but if what we are hearing is true, another real-world circuit — which has never before appeared in a Gran Turismo game — is coming to GT Sport…

i feel something like circuit of americas is my bet, but i would wish for a track from canada, circuit gilles villeneuve mabe

 

[CodeRedR51]

A proper city circuit would be nice. Like Long Beach or similar.

 

[TonyJZX]

Yeah Long Beach rules. Its amazing in Forza.

 

[mastretta_mx]

My bet is Okayama or CoTA

 

[DesertPenguin]

Forza. So we probably won't/can't get it.

I'm always hoping for my home NY track of Watkins Glen but Laguna Seca is more likely as it's more widely known. And if we're going by widely known, COTA is has a good chance at being it.

 

[gtpierre]

I think the real question is not "what will be the new track", or the new partnership, but rather : how many times will Andrew brooks get punted ?

 

[BadFlounder]

Long Beach and Sebring are no favorites of mine so I’d hope for others ahead of those, but hey.....it’s a free track.....hard to complain about that. I’ll take any free track and be happy to have it. For me, speaking of US tracks only, I’d prefer Laguna Sega or Road Atlanta.

 

[Rayheerlen]

Circuit of the Americas........ Must be it..... NA venue, never in a GT game....... It would be awesome to have in GT Sport

1) The venue doesn't necessarily represent the upcoming track.

For example, at the Salzberg event, Fuji was shown.

2) There are thousands of real life circuits not in a GT Game.

You've made some deduction there. Even in the US, there are many circuits not featured in GT.

It MIGHT be COTA, but there's nothing more to suggest COTA than any other real life circuit not ever in GT before.

[MagpieRacer]

My bet is Okayama or CoTA

I'd be happy with Okayama.

 

[VXR]

If it was North America, I'd absolutely love VIR or Watkins Glen before any of the others. Always found Lime Rock to be OK at best, Laguna is quite fun, but not fresh. Road Atlanta and Road America are pretty tame and CotA is just miserable.

 

[Famine]

???

It's a screenshot of race tracks used by the Chinese Touring Car Championship. Don't know what your question is or what it has to do with the World Tour New York event.

 

[Racer93]

CotA or Watkins Glen would be amazing additions, the game really needs more american tracks, but honestly I'd be happy with any new track (except Paul Ricard because those blue lines are so ugly and annoying ).

 

[BrunusCL82]

WATKINS GLEN.

 

[Russ Petersen]

I have to say this game just seems to get better and better. I'm a longtime xbox/Forza guy and have switched mostly to PC now for my racing on iRacing and other sims but have to say this game almost makes we want to get a PS4 Pro. Just too costly for one game really but it does look to have a fantastic online experience.

 

[seanchump]

WATKINS GLEN.

My guess would be Watkins Glen, COTA, or Road America.

 

[Racer93]

Do you guys think Shanghai is a serious contender? https://www.gtplanet.net/shanghai-international-circuit-coming-to-gt-sport/

Could the new to GT circuit be Shanghai? PD were there about 24 years ago so it's about time.

I think it could be Shanghai. We know how long it took to bring Autopolis to GT and the Shanghai rumours have been around for a significant period too.

 

[MagpieRacer]

I feel it'll be Japanese looking at the expected cars being all Japanese. Okayama being a prominent one that hasn't featured in GT before.

 

[Lebowski]

Hockenheim, Yas Marina or Okayama.

 

[bduddy]

According to the strange yellow highlights on that map the new track is either on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akimiski_Island or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belcher_Islands, but somehow I don't remember any major international racetracks in those areas... >_>
