What I dream of

What it will probably be

ITS ALSACE WITH A BRIDGE!!!

 

[TheGeologist]

Based on what I am seeing on Google maps, I think the following are all of the racetracks in Provence, France. I am a geologist, not a geographer, so apologies if the list is wrong and these places are not all in Provence.

• Circuit Automobile Paul Ricard

• Circuit du Var Luc

• Circuit Du Grand Sambuc

• Circuit de Monaco

• Circuit de Mireval

 

[GTPorsche]

Well, for starters, Monaco isn't in France.

 

[nowcontrol]

The first result if you type in "race track in the provence region of France" comes up with Circuit Automobile Paul Ricard. 💡

All 180 variations in GT Sport..... s000000n™

This is a difficult one... It could be a new layout for Alsace, it could be a scenic circuit or... it is something completely different.

Im glad it isn't Grand Valley, only because if PD had gotten rid of those tunnels, it'll just be one ruined track.

Edit: I can now strike alsace off the list.

With that number of tracks in the game, who is to complain then?

Is this the first vertical video from Poly? Something mobile friendly.

 

[MXR_Sparky]

If it was Paul Ricard they would have teased an image of the track surely instead of a bridge? Hmm.....interesting nevertheless.

It's not Alsace, provence is at the bottom end of France Alsace is further up the country. They specifically said it's in the provence region

I'm guessing the bridge was a teaser of the region, and not the actual track.

 

[forzaturismo]

There doesnt seem to be any bridge like that in real life.

the real bridge simulator game

 

[Normalaatsra]

I'm glad another teaser has revealed the location so far. This is looking more like a new original course.
I think the lake in question is located in Annecy, a famous tourist spot said to be the setting of some fairy tales.

 

[tofuhero]

I'm not sure how a new fantasy track would satisfy anyone. The old GT heads want the classic tracks, and another contingent wants real-world circuits. How big is the subset of people who think DT Gardens and Kyoto Y+M are stellar and want more of that?

Oh my bad.

The whiners who want Spa even though they'll only race on it twice before complaining they hate the track.

Must be, I’m trying not to get ahead of myself and think of Paul Ricard. Also now googling “Bridges in Provence” :’)

Wrong region, wrong area of France.

 

[John Crellin]

that castle looking thing looks more like a grain silo to me. Probably a result of being located on a sea port

OK, but why would they bother creating all this huge surroundings which is not even close to any of real track location? Are they ever put a real race track in game and make huge surroundings around track? No!

What I dream of

Yeah gonna be my favorite hearing how the track is garbage because I can't go over 50% throttle in my aventador for half the lap if I don't crash on the first hairpin at first.

I like the new tracks compared to the old ones which would feel too simplistic for a modern racing sim.

 

[Victoria H]

As far as I remember, the classic tracks from previous GTs (Grand Valley, Trial Mountain, High Speed RING, etc.) were never given an actual real life location. Maybe PD is recreating them in this particular region of France...

Anyway, please not be another long-ass boring track as Sierra again.

I hadn't given that any thought. That would be really weird.

It must be a fantasy track then. Surprised they are hyping a new, never before seen, fantasy track up so much.

 

[Macboyilija]

There has been a lot of Googling about lakes and tracks lately, we can be sure of that !

The teasers just start with a black background dark fade-in created in a video editor typical of cinematic scenes.

I understand that. But it is a teaser. Making it the way you say wouldnt make it a teaser now would it ? And if people are claiming tracks and cars and lorries based on 1 pixel I am sure that my suggestions are not that weird ?

I know logic thinking is out of place with PD. Still it makes no sense to only introduce a fantasy track in a complete different way than all other updates we got. Makes no sense at all.

Dont get me wrong, I would welcome any fantasy track. I am somebody that loved all the free updates. Even if I would need to pay for them. But something is going on here.

 

[sparkytooth]

I miss sierra just for the fun of driving classic cars across it but I'd prefer they made a more refined concept of a track like sierra taking full advantage of the extra PS4 power and a better setting.

 

[AudiMan2011]

The teaser is most likely hinting at a new original track that will use that suspension bridge. Paul Ricard, Monaco or any other French track is very unlikely at this point.

 

[MXR_Sparky]

So googled bridges in Provence, not one matched the one in the video though, or I haven’t looked hard enough.

Seems to me it could be a fantasy one, mere speculation at this stage like everyone else. But clearly the bridge is of some importance to the update?

 

[Macboyilija]

It is the bridge between the day and night ! Think deeper guys
