If, IF they add a course maker the same as GT6 or improved, this could be a possibility. That's the only way I see it happening.
I made a video to show the evolution of Deep Forest from GT1 to GT7.
In my opinion the GT3 and GT4 version are the best. I really don´t like the changes they made for GT7.
Of course it became more FIA like and the new hairpin adds a new possibility to overtake but I think this destroyed some of the flair this track had in the past. I would really like it if they add a "classic" layout of tracks like Trial Mountain and Deep Forest like they did with Le Mans or Fuji in the past.👍
Exactly. It'll be a nice run to the line from slipstreaming Kei cars to LMPs navigation those crests and slight curves.
the cutest thing here is thinking a fictitious track can't have a purely aesthetic visual design that happens in nature based on your own definition of what a "racing circuit" is, as if Mount Panorama isn't by all means a racing circuit, and one that's also based on public roads for scenic drives. The comparison to a mismatched type of road surface for a certain car type is hilarious and is of zero value.
but it sounds like Gran Turismo 
Well I've had 16 car races in GT5 and GT6 at DF and it was fine. IRL GT3 cars race on Nurburgring just fine as well. As I said before, not every corner on every track has to be overtake-able. Dogfighting in racing can be a lot more subtle than passing and repassing every corner. There's pit strategy, offsetting racing line, mental pressure, etc.
As for dirty driving, yes it will always exist. But track design goes a long way to encourage/discourage it. Long straight followed by low speed corner by its nature will always encourage divebombing because the speed delta between corner entry and apex is larger than in a high speed corner. Kinda hard to divebomb someone into 130R isn't it? Much easier into the chicane after it
Remember 85% of players in GTS never touch sport mode. These track changes just ruin the offline experience for no reason for them.
Also if you look at it, PD is giving off false advertising showing off the old DF layout in the trailer, and then dropping this change. It's like they want all the older fans to preorder the game, but then say screw you, GT game is now about the future and that is esports.
Funnily enough, we had a couple of FIA races in GT Sport with Gr.3 cars at Tsukuba. So PD isn't opposed to putting cars on tracks that aren't naturally suited to them.
Deep Forest, even the original version, is like driving on a four lane highway compared to that

It's the quality of the overtakes, not the quantity my friend. Though looking at your SR trace on kudosprime, you probably aim to overtake in every corner anyway, passing zone or not
Ask and ye shall receive. It's like a horror movie
Might as well remove all fictional tracks while we're at it. And make you pay for travel expenses to every circuit. And fuel and tyres. And insurance. And every time you crash you get "hospitalised" and can't enter the game for a month.
Realistic right?
------------------
Anyway, trying to complain to PD is like shouting into the void. I've already made all my points clear in the big Original Track Redesign thread. It's your game Kaz, not mine. We'll see how well received the redesigns are on release day
What would have made the most sense, would have been for them to be a bit more faithful to the old tracks, while adding new layouts that accommodated faster cars.
They're not driven by the FIA, no, but it's clear that PD broadly speaking are moving more towards realistic tracks than their early PS1 and PS2 efforts which were mostly nothing like real world tracks in design/layout/assets. Look at tracks like Grindelwald, El Capitan, old Deep Forest. They were very much fantasy tracks, just realistic enough to not think you're playing Wipeout or even Ridge Racer but would never pass as real world tracks, and that was fine, if we wanted real world tracks they arrived in GT3 and GT4.
Deep forest? More like Deforestation race way. Climate change has affected the track.
I mean, you're right. A real life track isn't going to have trees overhanging the track purely for reasons of safety, even if they were willing to have trees that close to the edge of the circuit. Nobody wants a branch snapping from a gust of wind as cars fly past only to then fall on the track and spear through someone's windscreen. That's an easily foreseeable problem and one that's easily removed.
It's also the jumps. Realistically, the jumps in Seattle and Cape Ring destroy anything that isn't a rally car pretty quickly. No way do race cars clear those, land cleanly and continue driving lap after lap. They're not designed for those forces and they don't have the suspension travel to absorb the energy. I doubt most road cars will last long either.
I would hardly say that GT tracks are of the "cookie cutter" variety, they just share some common assets. Maggiore, Dragon Trail and Sardegna all have a different feel to them with individual features that we like. Those tracks were all built from the ground up with overtaking opportunities in mind and they're brilliant. I've had some great races at each of those locations so I welcome the updates to the classic tracks because processional racing is boring. Also, saying that the tracks will encourage dirty driving isn't a strong enough argument because punters are gonna punt.
I think it's either Austria, Germany or Switzerland.
Gran Turismo isn't a fantasy game though. It has some grounding in reality.
From the video, the run to the finish has an ever so slight off-camber at the crest as it’s curves to the left. That’s enough of a challenge with cars of high speed and less downforce. Can also be a challenge with purpose built race cars. Players may get sucked into thinking they can navigate that bit flat out. No doubt, we’ll see if that’s possible.
@Monkey Man and I approve of this meme 👍
Right, and that's why we don't have anti-grav tracks. But clearly it's also not a slave to reality, hence why we have tracks with ludicrous jumps and that are on the Moon. Polyphony realises that there's a line between absolute realism and pure fantasy that they want to hit.
That looks even worse. At least Neo-Deep Forest has layout adjustments that kind of make sense for whatever PD appears to be going for. Your redesign just makes the last section look even more conspicuous.
