Hey Do you race ?
Have you ever seen pictures of the old Spa track ?
There were lots of interesting turns : Burnenville, Masta, Stavelot ... even the Eau Rouge (or Raidillon as we call it in Belgium) was more difficult at this time !
In Burnenville and Masta, only the bravest drivers kept their foot down : 250 km/h through a village ...
The track was so difficult (especially in the rain) that the great Jacky Ickx once took a 30" advantage during the first lap on equal cars !
And I'm not caricatural (I think the Nordschleife is the greatest track ever).
Nobody is talking about it but I think the greatest addition PD can make is Macao. The track was voted best city track last year by Autosport magazine and drivers love it : it's way better than Monaco because you can actually overtake !
Speaking of Le Mans, the race is great but the track is really (and I mean really) uninteresting compared to the Nordschleife, Spa (old or new) or Bathurst.

Probably already mentioned, but there's some great shots of Trial Mountain's new look at the link below, about 3/4 of the way down.

Well, I've found this map of Spa from 1939 at www.racingcircuits.net but the question we have to ask ourselves is: Is there enough of this track for PD to be able to re-create it? ... Hmm turns out it's too big. Well then, just follow the link, select Belgium, Spa-Francorchamps and 1939 to see it.too-fast4you
Have to say Masta Kink looks like fun.
In fact, only two turns of the old Spa track have been modified :
- Eau Rouge is now easier and faster (it was impossible to take it flat before);
- Malmedy has disappeared in favor of an highway exit ...
So, if PD wants to let us drive on this great track, they can easily fix this two "problems" by using old pictures and movies.
It's really sad they haven't protected the old Spa track as they did with the Nordschleife !
Anyone here for Macao ?

How bizarre. And it looks like nothing is ever done about it! Peculiar... Well, at least that's another detail PD have copied correctly then!! I wonder if all the words are right?? I'm sure there must be someone here sad enough to check some of them!!!

What is the story of the grafitti on the Nurburgring? It is only in one section isn't it?
EDIT: I realized my question was vague. I am asking what is the history/reaosn for the Grafitti at the Nurburgring. I've always known it was there (on one section I think) but am curious why it is there....

looks like it. By the way does any technical person here know how they made 1024x768 images from a console game? I thought Tvs were only like 320x240, and these pictures obviously look better than a tv could possibly show...
DOes anyone know the secret that PD posess?

Not that I have paid close attention to it, but as i remember reading in photomode you can print your photos in their full hi-res glory.
So most likely the rendering engine in GT4 renders a screen ready low res version and then the larger 8.5x11" (version which is 612x792 @ 72dpi), or maybe it is A4 size given it is a japanese game....eitherway it needs to render an image at least doubel that pixels size (or at at least 150dpi) to make a full page print that looks good.
I have too heard you can print it out, that looks cool!

There's frequently graffiti on track all around the world. One time someone wrote "SENNA: THE GREATEST" down Blanchmont at Spa. It's very true I might add.

true they could be in photo mode but can you have a picture showing six cars during a race at that resolution?
Sure i understand the cars in the warehouse are photo mode but the ones that look like 6 cars are actually racing. can you do that in photo mode?
