Yas Marina is an absolutely terribly designed circuit
So, if I want to drive a Nissan GT500 on Suzuka, Forza is the game. I feel bad for Poly^^
Supposedly the Suzuka license is ridiculously expensive, from what Ian Bell has posted here a few weeks ago... Did Microsoft open the budgetary flood gates to T10?

There were 28 in FM6. If all are ported from there, then FM7 will only have two new tracks.

That's PC gameplay and by the way, the new UI/menus look stunning.
It all depends if they have a day/night version of each ribbon, or how this dynamic weather will work as well, if they have a straight rain version for each ribbon, like FM6. 30 tracks with 200 different ribbons/layouts, comes to around 6.7 layouts per track, which isn't too far off if they have rain versions, or day/night versions of each counting towards that.I'm starting to think someone at T10 screwed up somewhere considering:
- They've already unveiled 4 tracks that are either new or returning, considering the "30 tracks" part of the press release this means several tracks are getting cut.
- Granted it's not impossible but I highly doubt they've unveiled all the new tracks so we'll probably at least see 1 or 2 more meaning even more tracks are being cut than first thought.
- The same press release also says 200 ribbons, which is confusing as T10 has counted things like weather and time of day as alternates as separate layouts. The problem with this is FM6 doesn't come close to 200 and unless Dubai has an insane amount of layouts there's no way 30 tracks will get the count to 200 as the other 3 tracks don't have many layouts.
So yeah it's just not adding up for me, if I had to guess, the "30+" stated in the interview is correct and whoever typed the release omitted the "+" symbol.

I saw someone on the official forums theorize that maybe the "30" locations refers to the environment, such as Bugatti & Le Sarthe, or Nurburgring & its GP circuit sharing 1 location. He assumed maybe Dubai will include the mountain track & Yas Marina since they are in the same region (even though they're 2 hours away from each other).I'm starting to think someone at T10 screwed up somewhere considering:

BADNED has listed on his Track list, a location called, "Dubai - Circuit of the Emirates". Of course, putting that into google brings up either the Autodrome or Yas Marina.Can anyone figure out where this is? Might be Dubai?
First full lap of Dubai. Interesting circuit. Obviously a very fantasy like circuit that you wouldn't see in real life, but still looks stunning. There's a second pit lane so I'm assuming they'll be multiple layouts.

@Nielsen brought this up as well. One possibility being that we do not have dynamic TOD and that there are multiple layouts available for all the kinds of time settings available, much like FM6 is currently set up.- The same press release also says 200 ribbons, which is confusing as T10 has counted things like weather and time of day as alternates as separate layouts.
