I seem to recall Autopolis Short didn't have an event until recently, when they added a "Japanese FF Challenge 450" race to go along with the Honda Civic EG.
So that would've been on your list not long ago.

Opening it out to the whole game, both Blue Moon Bay Infield B layouts have been completely unused in the game. No races, no special events, no championships, no circuit experience, no missions, no licenses, no daily races, no online time trials. The standard version was scheduled for the 2022 GTWS but was changed due to wallriding and hasn't been seen since.

The counterclockwise versions of Tokyo Central and Tokyo East only have their circuit experiences, and are otherwise similarly unused.

The only reason why any of us go back to GT4 is the career mode. Take that away and it's rubbish compared to GT7. The core driving mechanics, the sounds and the graphics do not hold up, even if the presentation does. How can any of you sit here and complain about the game structure when everything else has improved? GT4 was a great game for the time but I can't bare going back to it now because it's OLD.

I go back for the tracks and to drive cars that are not in 7. I do agree that everything else is better in 7, just wish we had more of those tracks
 
Sometimes I wonder if it'd really make sense to have historic layouts for certain venues, especially for venues like Monza and Fuji, but then I realize that I'd really prefer new venues altogether, at least as far as GT7's real-world circuits go. Or at least maybe some returning ones, like Indianapolis' oval and its road course, Monaco, or Sonoma.

Why not both or all of them.

A simulation or virtual reality is just that .. the ability to do the Same stuff as in real life but so much more...
Why limit to what real life is offering.
It is great to do that virtually, but we also should be enjoying the past track configurations, future ones, dreamed up ones and everything in between...

That's why I still yearn for Seattle circuit, especially since it no longer exist in real life...

What are the chances that rd.3 of the GTWS will take place at TGS on the 28th?

I’d be surprised - in that case they probably wouldn’t be able to sell tickets for it as a separate event. Why turn down the money? A concurrent show in Tokyo makes sense.
 
I thought the finals will be held at the Abu Dhabi F1 track…. 😅
 
It'll be so funny if they don't add the CGV, with that photo being used and what the camera would be looking at turned a bit to the left.

I would like to see some classic layouts in GT8. It would be a great fit for classic cars races and championships.
80's and '90's Fuji was great in GT4. There is also an older 70's layout with first fast right corner like in the old Monza. On top of that some old versions (from 1960-70's) of the La Sarthe, Spa and maybe Nordschleife.

Absolutely, plus Monza with no chicanes and the banked oval.

I definitely want the old Spa layout, I remember driving that layout in Grand Prix Legends, I think it was at least. Then later in real life driving those roads to reach the back entrance to access the kart circuit inside the main track. Bizarrely the locals there must be the slowest drivers I've ever encountered, I almost always got held up behind someone pootling along at a ridiculously low speed.

I got to experience classic Le Man and Spa in pcars 2 and there are 2 of the most beautiful classic tracks I have ever raced in I put so many miles on just those 2 tracks. :)

I 100% hope pd includes them in future gt games.
 
If there even is a circuit in the upcoming update, I'd imagine that it would have to be something that isn't suitable for use in the live event, otherwise they would have used it surely.

That's why I think even though everything else seemed to align perfectly, Circuit Gilles Villeneuve is probably off the table.
Not that it won't show up at some point though.

I don’t think they need to use it in live event. Giving participants different GT7 version could be risky.
 
Of all the times to add Pikes Peak now makes the most sense.

The tarmac course can be used for many more game modes and events.

Plus there are some very cool and quirky cars that would fit in well in Gran Turismo.

I think its well beyond time to accept that the only "Perfect" time for PD to add anything is when THEY decide its the perfect time because as repeatedly shown, they do not work on our time.
 
The reason I don't think this has any chance of being Pikes Peak is because of where they're unveiling it at. I have to assume something they'd unveil at GTWS in front of World Series drivers and a livestream audience that leans towards eSports would have some sort of Sport Mode relevance, and Pikes Peak does not fit in the current daily race or championship structure.

One thing is for sure, I definitely can see people going insane - not in a very good way - if another dirt/snow track is coming lol.
Click to expand...
Why would it? There is literally no way another dirt/snowy track will be revealed. The only one "rallyish" track that COULD be coming (which i doubt yet) is Eiger since we saw footage of Kaz team recording landscape there
