Well, GT Academy is staged at Silverstone since 2008, why haven't they built the track yet for GT5?
Also, Silverstone is another one of those legendary tracks that is missing from GT5, you get that in the game, and you basically have the collection of world's greatest tracks on one game.

I'd like to see Silverstone added soon, both the old circuit and the new one with the 'wing' complex. I think it'd be awesome, nice and flowing... Would make an epic endurance race.
The Brazilian GP track would be pretty cool too, epically in wet conditions!!

Belgium = Belgique (Spa is French)

If you post in native languages, do it good.

It is worth noting, as people have done, that the road course at Indianapolis and Fuji Speedway are both F1 courses from recent memory and probably ought to be listed (and that the Valencia track in GTPSP - Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo - is the F1 test venue, not the race venue which occurs on Valencia's streets).
It's probably worth noting that Circuit de Monaco isn't in GT5 - Cote d'Azur just happens to be a track that looks quite a lot like it, but it's listed as being in France not Monaco and isn't called "Circuit de Monaco".
So really we have 4 (current), 5 (current plus Cote d'Azur) or 7 (all) F1 tracks in GT5.

Those two belong to the most boring, most blant and most soulless race tracks in the world.
The day Magny Cours was announced to be not part of the F1 season anymore was one of the highlights in the F1 history.
Now only Barcelona, Hungaroring and Valencia missing then F1 races will be full of joy again!
Atleast they already get rid of Imola (How can anybody like this stupid track? its IMPOSSIBLE to overtake someone! check up Alonso vs Schumi Imola 2005 and 2006...) and Magny cours...

Play some F1 games and maybe you will see why people like Barcelona, Magny-Cours, Imola and even the Hungaroring. And Valencia Street too I guess.
Imola is by far one of the best tracks to drive. The Hungaroring is one of my personal favourites in any racing game.
Just because the racing can be dull in reality, doesn't mean the tracks are dull full stop. A lot of the tracks that don't provide much overtaking also happen to be some of the best to drive on. The Nurburgring Nordschleife is impossible to overtake on....
Not to mention that even though F1 cars can struggle to overtake on a track, other race series may find it easier. Proper touring car series will find a place to overtake anywhere. And seeing as Gran Turismo features such a huge array of cars, then places like Imola can easily provide overtaking action at the very least with the slower cars.
I count 8 F1 tracks. The Nordschleife was also once used for Grand Prix racing.

They need to get rid of alot more than just them tracks to make things interesting. Any of the new curcuits introduced in the last 15 years are boring to watch (Turkey is the sole exception).
As for Imola. Its a great track thats fast with a natural flow. Its difficult to overtake but then thats the way it should be. I hate overtakes which are just a gimmie

China, Bahrain, Albert Park, Sepang and the A1 Ring aren't 15 years old yet and were/are cool.

While I agree that the GT series is not an F1 game because of licensing issues, F1 still features some of the very best tracks in the world.
But I don't agree with not replicating NASCAR, WRC, TG and all others. That's the whole point of having a license: if it is unused there's no purpose on having it.
This is particularly true with WRC, with zero real life rally courses nor special stages, and TG, with 0 cars featured in the show (particularly the stock and mildly tuned versions of the kia cee'd, suzuki liana and chevrolet lacetti, and some iconic ones such as the ariel atom, reliant robin, morris marina, dacia sandero, 90s and 2000s toyota hilux and others), no standing start, no star in a reasonably prized car challenge (could be an online leaderboard), adding borders in TGTT that don't exist in real life which end in not being a test track (longer straight) nor a free run course (former airplane field with lots of side routes) in GT5 like it is in real life, corner cutting that's still not fixed, no photomode location, no JC, etc.

Probably more than 90% - the Sudkurve loop is only a few hundred yards. Nevertheless, no layout of the Nuerburgring used in GT4/5 has ever been used for formula one races and Cote d'Azur "isn't" Monaco so shouldn't be included - whereas Indy Road and Fuji 2005 both have been used in their GT5 formats and should.

I'd love Brands hatch and Donington.

Please don't get me wrong, I'd love more tracks from all series, just not focussed on one, especially one that only includes 2 cars and which tracks are mostly only becoming interesting to drive on with the speeds reached by F1 cars.
Thing is, they have to choose new tracks wisely as they have to spend a lot of time and resources modelling them so I'd rather they'd focus on tracks which are more fun to use with the vast majority of the current car roster.

👍 Well said; agreed on all counts, especially on the praise of Imola and Hungaroring.
You expect PD to model 15-30 km special stages? Randomly generated point-to-point stages are sufficient for this game. I think resources would be better used elsewhere, rather than PD accurately recreating a long forest road.

I'd love any track that isn't in the OP(with the exception of Dubai and Montreal).. F1 tracks aren't interesting IMO, I like elevation changes
If you read my post some rows above you know I agree, with some exceptions, mostly with elevation changes.
Istanbul track is very good with a non-F1 car (F1 driver words).
Austin is a non-Tilke track, and have potential.
Interlagos is sweet.
Silverstone is challenging in every configuration, since 1950.

I think the same, but I badly want interlagos, silverstone and yas marina to be added to the game, or even better older versions of the greatest tracks of all time but I know that won't happen.
I'm not saying that PD should include every F-1 track since there's no point to do so, as it'll happen the same as with the WRC license. I'm asking for 3 tracks that are among the very best real life circuits that PD could add as DLC or in GT6.
as for cars, I'd happy if they included some fictional or real life open wheelers coming straight from pc sims, for example formula reiza, cart factor, etc.
It's truly a shame that GT5 only has 3 formula cars, one being entirely fictional and over the top (FGT) and 2 ferraris that aren't perfectly represented (gear ratios, not as twitchy as in real life, front wing is not crashing against the tarmac and the team is not crying about diffusers)
