PD should include Apricot Hill and Midfield, and the track in which Apricot Hill perhaps was inspired from, Circuit Paul Ricard.

Midfield should only be added if they also add Just a Day to the games soundtrack!

I think the yellow signs above the tires is used in a version of Suzuka whenever there's a online championship in Sport Mode

That's the point. Polyphony has been using a revamped version of Suzuka in in-person World Series events since August 2023 in Amsterdam. That version of Suzuka has the updated logo and it seems like some minor differences like that yellow ad line.
In fact the revamped version of Suzuka is the one Polyphony uses in all new releases and even appears in the intro of the game since Spec II, but for some strange reason they haven't updated the game with this version 🤷‍♂️ .

That's the point.

It's not: you've crossed two things at once.

@Hbdb04's point is that the yellow ad-boards are not exclusive to the version of Suzuka with the updated track logo (only seen, as you point out, in live events - and now absent from the public game for over two years), but also appear in the version of the track used during open online events in the GTWS to regular players too.

His picture - showing the yellow boards at turn one/two - was of his own GTWS qualifying round in the Toyota GR GT Cup, not a live event.

The Gran Turismo Car & Track Wishlist Thread...

It seems that making wishlists is a particularly popular hobby for many of you :D No matter what the thread may be, someone, somehow, seems to shoehorn a list of cars and/or tracks that they'd like in the game into it - and we have more than one thread that's basically a wishlist with extra...

Apricot hill, midfield, autumn ring, el capitan, costa di amalfi... If its too expensive for pd to adquire a licence for a real world track, then bring back those.

The big decent at the beginning of the lap on GVHW1 reminds me of Kanan road, Malibu canyon and Topanga Canyon road - honestly there’s a lot of roads in the Malibu area that look the same when your descending down to the coast. Drove easily a few thousand miles on all those roads in my teens-early 20’s, and probably ran a couple hundred miles in the area when I was in smoke jumper school.

That region and its associated roads hold a special place in my heart. They provided freedom and salvation from my teens till my early 20’s to go surf….and for 6 weeks in early 2004 - provided a lot of pain 😂

Parts of the circuit definitely remind me of PCH/HW1 but others don't. I'm also used to a different part of the road compared to what's depicted in the game, we definitely got more trees up in Marin

Yeah, they did really good job of depicting the different parts of PCH, but definitely went light on the trees for the
Cambria—->North - inspired parts of the Circuit.

I think this can be interpreted as PD acknowledging their POS trees aren’t up to the task 😂

They've added some stuff to Known Issues today:

Steering Controllers
　- On the THRUSTMASTER® T300RS, the force feedback effect may differ between the left and right directions under certain conditions;
　- On the THRUSTMASTER® T300RS, device protection safety is triggered more easily on high loads from Update 1.54 onwards;
　- On the Fanatec® GT DD Pro / Extreme, unexpected noises may be produced when turning the wheel sharply.

Physics Simulation Model
　- In Scapes demo movies or when making a pit stops during a race, the car will drive in an unintended manner if the tyres collide with the fenders.

Seriously though, what's the deal with the Red Bull Ring track map in menus?

The truth will be revealed (until it gives RBR its space back)!

No offence to anyone, but the situation is dire if this is what we've had to resort to for conversation topics lol.

Seattle City Circuit it´s my favourite track of all time.

That's a personal take, but I think Apricot Hills already shares a lot of things with Kyoto Driving Park, may be too much actually. Apricot Hills is a good track, so is Midfield, but I'm not sure they would refresh GT7 experience that much.

Autumn Ring, Pikes Peak or Tahiti (and why not Red Rock Valley depending on the scenery) on an other hand, would contrast a lot more with what we already have in this game.

 

[Goldin]

I would rather that we get something different, long road track similar to Sierra from GT6 than another original track.
Ideally make Gran Valley Speedway with another 6 miles seaside road,and another 10 miles in the canyons. GWS would be ideal to resemble real road as track is not too wide like a real road, yet enough for racing, and it has good atmosphere in any time.
That would be a blast for free roam and roleplaying in online lobbies, drift etc.

Yikes, you won't get a track this year, so stop it

Maybe I’m in the minority on this, but I actually think more of the same adds more value than content which stands in contrast to the existing. I think Lake Louise is a good example of this. Yes, it does represent something novel but is this actually an enhancement in the long term? I’m not convinced, because once the novelty has passed I usually return to what can be considered ordinary Gran Turismo content. The more of that, the better in my opinion.

My personal theory is that in 2023 they updated the banners on the Development version of the game they keep working on (+ the DevKit for GTWS events) and they just forgot to this day to incorporate those changes in the Live version of the game

GT7 wasteland of a content....very toxic of me indeed. Last track that got added into the game? We'll see one track at best this year, mark my words.

Not sure if toxic or stupid. Anyone with half a brain would have walked away from the game long ago if it's as bad as you make it to be, so you're either deliberatery stirring **** or too dumb to figure out that you can just forget about it and go on. I'm betting on the former.
