Apricot Hill Raceway!
I find that the original tracks are part of what has made Gran Tourismo the series it is, leaving them out one by one felt like going further and further astray from the formula that made this series so amazing. So original tracks returning makes me feel all fuzzy and warm inside...and my purse lose.
In general, I feel Gran Turismo should go back a little mixing original content with real life content, not focusing on just one of them.
Red Rock Valley, Grindelwald and Eiger Nordwand please. And Complex String.
There's no reason to exclude any of them
More than any, Grand Valley Speedway.
I'd love to see Special Stages Route 5 and 11 return, though as they were kind of early visions of a street race on a Japanese expressway - would PD feel that they still fit in with the real-life Tokyo Expressway courses?
why do you live in the past? stop being nostalgic.
if all those old maps came, they would be interesting for 2 weeks...
I would rather like 10 completely new original maps.
if you want old maps, fire up old games and thats it.

You must be having a really bad day. I understand you, Ivann...why do you live in the past? stop being nostalgic.

George V was perfectly fine for circuit racing. Now Citta d’Aria would work better as a point-to-point rally stageI'd be fine if they brought them all back, but only if they get notable changes to better-accommodate online racing, like we can sort of see for Trial Mountain. That said, I don't think Apricot Hill needs much in the way of changes, whereas something like High Speed Ring could likely use more run-off areas.
I do hope, at the least, most of the courses introduced in the PS3 era return, like Madrid, London, the revised Rome circuit, and especially stuff like Ascari, the Goodwood Hillclimb (perhaps appearing alongside the circuit), and Circuito de la Sierra.
As for the narrower city courses that could only hold two cars at a time in GT4, I'd prefer those be turned into point-to-point time attack stages, like George V Paris.
We should consider that many of these courses from the PS1 and PS2 eras were made for six cars, whereas some courses in GTS alone can hold four times as that, at least in theory. GT7 could potentially serve even more vehicles at once, so I think many of the circuits will need to have some notable changes. Redesigns happen to real circuits all the time - Le Mans, Spa-Francorchamps, Monza, and Fuji being notable examples - so why should the GT-original circuits be exempt from this real-world facet of track design?
You sure you don’t mean Opera Paris?George V was perfectly fine for circuit racing. Now Citta d’Aria would work better as a point-to-point rally stage
I think only the oval was damaged, and when Indycar came to Motegi after the 2011 earthquake - the cause of the oval’s damage - the road course was used instead.I prefer the real tracks. Too bad Motegi has been damaged and it seems they were not able to repair it.
But these tracks, any other games can have.I want more real world tracks. Indy, Silverstone, monte carlo, road america, Pocono, Barbour, mid ohio, sebring, Baku, pikes peak old gravel and new paved as a time attack.
