I hate the Hong Kong track. It just isn't a track like other tracks.
And speaking of the 'Ring, i just love that track. It is fun to drive in my more or less tuned Ginetta against BMW's and Merc's.
 
why do most people here hate Citta 'di Aria? for me it's a great track, well mainly because I'm a touge man.., it's one of the featured courses in GT4 Prologue (please correct me if I'm wrong), and it looks beautiful IMO.., my tunes are centralized in that track.., :D

Nurburgring?? you'll hate it unless you get in a Group C Le Mans LMP Race Car go around it for a full lap.., I tell ya, nothing but pure adrenaline rush.., 👍👍
 
Citta is a good test track but it's horrible to drive to be honest.

I like the Nurburgring and I treat it somewhat as a B-road :lol: It's fun to take a slowish car and just cruise for 13 miles.
 
Citta di Aria is a track that is absolutely boring, mainly because of the competition. The fact that you can only race it in 6 races is pretty much enough to hate it. Even the WRC car don't pose much of a threat in a 220 horsepowered car. And I'm talking about S2 tires, imagine the slaughter in R1 tires, the same tires the WRC cars use (or were those R2?).

EDIT: Good test track, Citta? I'd rather test my cars in Amalfi. Citta is full of corners. Corners connecting corners, should I say? There are few straights, and not even that long. I like Costa Di Amalfi better. Nothing better than tuning a Superbird in there :sly:
 
A track I just loved in Gran Turismo 1 and that I really miss is Special Stage Route 11.

In GT4, the track I hate the most is Test Course, but I hate George V Paris' round corner around the Arch of Triumph.
 
I hate any track that doesn't have a real, genuine straight, and any track that doesn't have its start/finish line on a real, genuine straight. Opera Paris, George V Paris, Infineon, Hong Kong, etc.
 
In GT4, the track I hate the most is Twin Ring Motegi Super Speedway, although there are plenty of other circuits with sharp corners.

That's right.. There's a sharp corner on almost every track.. Sharp corners are no problem if they aren't many.. As at Opera Paris or Hong Kong :indiff: ..

i think that the costa di amalfi is probaly the best track in the game for testing cars it has a descent straight plus the average speed on that track must be pretty high because each corner has a nice straight leading up to it so u can fully test the acceleration, deceleration, breaking and handling its like a better opera paris (much better) because it goes straight corner straight corner etc. its only rival i think is the nurburgregg which is where i test lotuses in arcade mode but i dont like it because its soooooo long but i can see why some people do like it although i think if you want a long track with sharp corners and a straight i would go for the circuit de la sarth.

my the tracks i hate the most are: george v paris althouh i think it would be brilliant with 6 cars i also hate incheon because for som reason the track doesnt like me along with the final track grand vally speedway.

you should try trial mountain circuit and deep forest raceway with low powered cars in arcade mode it's like driving in the countryside another good one is the beginners with high powered cars because along with motorland all the the cars fly into the pitting lane (i dont think this works with race cars)
 
I've also realized that many tracks become much more fun when you take a lower-powered road car, and not a race car, on them. Opera Paris is a perfect example, I think; I bet a lot of people who say they hate it got their impression from trying to race there in the GTWC. I've also always liked Citta di Aria (especially the reverse version), and I find it really fun in small, lightweight, underpowered cars on N tires. Hong Kong becomes tolerable in such cars, but it's still not a very good track. And Tokyo, which I dislike quite a lot in both road cars and LMPs, becomes surprisingly fun for me in a JGTC300 car, which I realized when I used an Arta Garaiya to 200-point the endurance race there.
 
You hate Tokyo? I find it to be a nice track, apart from the extremely long straight, which makes almost impossible to keep up with faster cars.
 
Tokyo is tough, particularly several portions where I find I'm regularly travelling at high speed, needing to miss a wall by inches, and keep momentum to out-pace the Ai. :scared:

I have one legendary replay in which I drove a Civic in the Turbo Cup at Route 246 (I think it was Turbo Cup...might be wrong). Anyways, any one want a challenge? Drive a lightweight front-drive up against a pack of better-maneuvering rear & all-wheel drives at Route 246 without understeering into the nearest wall. :nervous:

I've never been able to put my finger on why I hate Tokyo. Maybe it's because it requires an extremely neutral-handling car to do well there? It also seems to me to get narrow in the most annoying places, and it must be partly because of its straights favoring the AI in 200-point races.

The Race of Turbo Sport is in the Professional Hall. I imagine Parnelli had to modify his Civic quite a bit to keep up with the AI - it was hard enough in a stock FPV F6 Typhoon!
 
Then expect a race report in the next seven days :D

After playing Tourist Trophy for a week now, I realized that most of the tracks people complain about are a hell lot worse in Tourist Trophy :( But it's damn worth it :)
 
Special Stage Route 5 and Clubman Stage Route 5. City courses are my favorite, but those have no predictable corner angles and it's impossible to see properly with the pseudo night time look. I know they are old school GT, but why did they have to scrap Rome and SSR11 while keeping those in play? :banghead:
 
SSR5 is a great track. I don't like Clubman Stage, though. SSR5 is a great drift track, by the way. Corner angles? A nice variation, I say :sly: But it's your opinion.

It's just a tough course. Walls are placed where we'd normally have curbing & grass, and the Ai takes full advantage of us if we're too slow by walling up on us, therefore you really gotta rush thru vast portions of the track while skimming those walls by inches (or centimeters for you metric types).

I think if Tokyo Route 246 hadn't been in GT3, I would be much suckier at this course, but all the laps I did in the third GT helped for sure in the more-understeery land of GT4. :guilty:

Dude, I'll try and find that replay so I can say for sure it was Turbo Cup. I do remember needing about 330 horsepower (somewhere up there), full-custom gears & differential, as well. I usually avoid full-custom parts unless I ABSOLUTELY need them. I remember getting frustrated, too! :mad: Almost winning the race, but screwing up with minute moments of understeer. :banghead: It took me a couple tries (and lots of practice) to get it right.

You beat this in a Civic Parnelli? For 200pts? I'll try it but have a feeling I'll be crying in to my pillow tonight...

EDIT: Surely this should be in the 200pt forum or something

Does anyone have the track list for GT5?

I would love to see the resurrection of Rome night and day course. :D

Follow this link.

For some reason I highly doubt any of the Rome courses are gonna come back for GT5. I agree, tho, I would love to see Rome Night return, although I don't particularly miss the day course.

I must confess i've never finished any GT game. I just like playing it to buy cars and tune them then run them on my fav tracks.

I'd used the ghost replay and race myself over and over again tweaking little bits here and there trying squeeze more time out a particular car.

Rome day and SS5 were the only tracks i used for tuning, timings and for all around fun - loved the back and pit straight of Rome.
 
Yeah. I don't find myself completing a GT game any time soon. I like GT4, but I'm not a GT4 freak who has to win everything, have every car, have drove every car, all the licences in gold (though I have done that), win every race in the max A-spec possible, get the max B-spec points, and so on... If I wanted a 100% completed game, I would go for a RPG... Or Tourist Trophy :D

Same as me.. I'm not that interested to win every car and race or have max. A-Spec points and I'm not interested in having 100000+ B-Spec points either.. Yes.. I've got all licences in gold, but.. It isn't hard and I like to do them ;) 👍

please correct me if I'm wrong, but did I say that the track I hate the most is Hong Kong?? I now have a new track which I don't like the most: Seoul Central . the damn "race track" consists of just how many corners, like what, 5?? 4 square corners (I think) and the round corner that feels like the one in New York..,

Don't forget the fact that the Ai somehow manages to drive like they just woke up from a nap at Seoul. Half the time, the don't navigate what corners to even 50% capacity.

...............uh................. long story short. the AI sucks at Seoul??
 
Those are the tracks that one mainly hates when driving an underpowered car against the AI. That's why I never race there. I will likely go for SSR5 or Nürburgring. Those are the best tracks, in my opinion, for hard races :)
 
I remember waaaay back in GT2 they had that varying difficulty races on the most difficult tracks under the Super license series. That was fun. Wish they had the same thing for garage cars in GT4.
