Probably the same reason a lot of things don't appear, Kaz. His preference has always been highway driving, I recall him saying during covid he spent a lot of time driving on the empty highway routes. I've never seen him say anything about touge style roads.For a Japanese developer, it has just struck me as odd that they haven't ever embraced Touge for a track idea, or hill climbing (apart from Goodwood in GT6).
Those two ideas alone would add something new, with tighter turns and more of an eye on technique than bald speed.
So that's why we had the SSR tracks in the old games and Tokyo Expressway in S/7. Because that's what Kaz wants in his game.
