Anyone remember the GT "original" Motorland

Real life Motorland

Uh huh real original Kaz! First Deep forest in Iowa,USA and now Motorland literally right next to Tsukuba.

Nice find!

Never knew that it was right there. Thanks fbcars924.

 

[Rayzah]

Forgive me, but what does this have to do with Gran Turismo 5??

 

[Shoe67]

That's awesome. What other original tracks are there that need to be found in real life? Grand Valley, Eiger, trial mountain. What else?

Unless i'm being dense and missing something I don't see anything like that.

Nor do I. Looks like 2 different tracks to me. Slight similarity maybe but not to the point that I wouldn't call the PD version "original."

 

[roflcoptor]

Similar... ish.

 

[fbccars924]

Ok but look at the differences between the real and game Deep Forest they aren't THAT similar either but that made international head lines. I thought I would point this out that it's ridiculously similar to the motorland on GT4.

I risk getting shot here yes, but am I only one who would like seeing Motorland back?

Nice, fun little track. I'd want it back, especially now that karting is in.

 

[fbccars924]

^ agreed, It's also good for drifting. It's suprisingly technical when your sideways.

 

[LancerEvo7]

It doesn't remind me so much of Motorland as it does Motorsports Land from GT2.

The only track I see any resemblance whatsoever to is the Driving Park Beginner's track or whatever it was called; and even that is superficial.

As with Deep Forest, they might've taken inspiration, but then overworked it enough to justify it being their own creation. Or better yet, think of Burnout/GTA cars. You're easily able to identify a GTA IV Infernus as a Murcielago, but it isn't.

But, If you look at it Deep Forest bears very little resemblance to the real life track. I'm just pointing it out that it bears a close resemblance to Motorland's course.

I honestly think it looks like a miniature Tsukuba in a way. The general shape is similar, albeit some differences. You have to tilt your head sideways to see though.

I'd love to have it back also! It was a fun little track. Of course I'd like to have any and all old tracks back. The more tracks the better as far as I'm concerned.

 

[Rage Racer]

OMG, how could I miss that before?

 

[Slender_Man]

Very similar but the bus stop chicane is in a different place

 

[fbccars924]

That's the wrong verion.

^this is the course I was referring to.

Look to the map and it's just west of the main course. It's Very similar to this course. The First turn is a tad wider but after that the courses are Identical.

I can't see Motorland at all in the Tsukuba track. I could see some potential inspiration for Motorsports Land, however:
