An interesting point. Moreover, the Indy 500 itself was part of the Formula One calendar - there wasn't a US Grand Prix until 1961. Good call though.

It could also be argued about Le Mans, but I am not sure which circuit was ran. I'm fairly sure though that it is not in GT4 or GT5.
 
I would like to see Sepang, Buddh, and COTA added in the near future.
 
Silverstone would be a good addition due to it being used for endurance racing.

I would love to have the really old Monza with the banked turning , which was around in the 50's and 60's.

I would love to try the 4 apex turn in the Turkish GP track.

The Formula One race at Le Mans was on the Bugatti Circuit which uses a small part of the full circuit and then splits off but it would be a nice addition, I think some of it is already modelled at a low quality.

Sepang would be a nice addition as it also runs Super GT and is quite a fun track on F1 2010 although turn 11 got me every time no matter what I did.
 
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...

I should have said I was on about the tracks before they were neutered. Both tracks were ruined by redesigns to their final sections by Tilke, with chicanes added to both near the final turn.

It's not a great circuit for cars, better for motorcycles, but it would be a welcome addition since a third of the circuit is already modeled completely. Plus La Sarthe is far too large for French hatchbacks and most other European sports cars, so the course could be useful in-place of the full course for smaller races.
 
I know what you mean about it not being great for cars as it is mostly used for motorcycle racing but with some of it already modelled it looks as if it would be much easier to add this then to start a track from scratch. It would be much better for the slower cars rather than 2 minutes of boredom on the long straights.

You understood my poor wording (I blame how late it was). I think French tracks are poorly misrepresented by Circuit de la Sarthe; it's just too big. I'd like to see Dijon-Prenois, maybe Paul Ricard or Magny-Cours or Nogaro, even Pau or Opera Paris, to complement the big Le Mans track (anything but Albi really). Something that would be good to drive/race in all the great French hot hatches.
 
I wouldn't take all of them, and as people have said, Indy Road and Fuji have been F1 tracks recently.

From F1 I would add any from: Melbourne, Adelaide, Interlargos, Imola, Gilles Villeneuve, Watkins Glen, Silverstone, Hockenhiem and Hungoring.

Although maybe for GT some of the modern street circuits would be better. But I hate them!
 
Yas Marina track in Abu Dhabi is a must.

It will also have day/night F1 take place in basically twilight. Also I think there is a provision for karting. The track architect is amazing :eek:

Quite surprised there's been some support for Sepang. Been a spectator for a number of races held there over the years (including Formula One) and driven on it through numerous racing games. It's actually fun-ish to drive on, if a bit nondescript to look at.

I'd love to see Silverstone in. Find it a bit odd that there have been no British circuits in the GT series until the inclusion of the Top Gear Test Track.
