Yes, he posted a few messages in the news thread.
However he isn't sharing information, apparently due to "lack of time".
There is another czech user who should receive temporarily a copy this weekend.
I hope he'll maintain his promise of sharing more details than how other users did.
 
I'm still not sure if Special Stage Route 7 is a closed circuit or an open circuit. I did see that video of that 1987 Honda Mugen Civic race car in that "Gran Turismo 5 Orgasm" video (by the way, can we PLEASE refrain from sexually-related terms to describe something?). We learn NOTHING about how a full course looks when someone intentionally spins out and stops the video. It really confused me. Part of me says it is an open circuit based on how the track layout looks in the race menu. Then when I read about how this track somehow has a loop to it, I begin to think this is possibly a closed circuit.

Another deal about Special Stage Route 7... I still don't know what's up with the fireworks, but it's a nice touch. Almost reminds me of racing "Shooting Hoops" in "Ridge Racer Type 4" having fireworks go off into the sky. I still look for SSR7 to be Gran Turismo's version of highway battle. It may not be high-speed illegal street racing down Wangan B (from my "Tokyo Xtreme Racer" experience), but it's a plenty interesting race course in GT5.
 
To go along with wishing old spa and monza were in the game, what about suzuka without the chicane at the end of the lap. Who knows what speeds we would get into turn 1.

👍 wow was that really 11 years ago? :ill: They were meant to be a millenium fireworks display if I remember right.

Route 7 definitely is a circuit rather than point to point, proved by there being an open road behind where the race starts. Due to the length I get the feeling some races will only be a single lap though...

WOW, nostalgia hit me like a ton of bricks there, RRT4 was one of my favourite racers for PS1, played it for months on end :D

It loops like this on both ends (long section inbetween skipped):

That list of greyed out tracks at the bottom is quite depressing actually. Of all the tracks on the lists, Estoril, Imola, Jerez, Silverstone and Spa are some of the best tracks in F1 history, let alone today!
 
I don't remember that.
Maybe he was referring to the real life GT Academy program.
It appears that Silverstone is an important track for that.
(So this should mean that it just has to be in GT5?)

its probably been said already, but didn't KY say silverstone is in the game. I also remember reading something about that

Yea, I hope it makes it, but as far as I know...

It has not been mentioned anywhere except on the Weather Locations and its use in GT Academy. But even if we get it, it probably won't have the new layout as an option.

The northern loop on that looks pretty bland.

Very disappointed with SSR7.

It's a highway track... who cares about the loops? It's something entirely new to the series... even if you don't enjoy it, plenty of people will...

Because I'd rather have something with a challenge to it. Sweepers are fun, but the tehcnical parts are good overtaking opportunities. Plus, Polyphony seem to be infatuated with those giant 180-degree loops. There's one on the Seoul circuit, one in New York and another on Georges V Paris in GT4. Special Stage Route 7 will make the fourth circuit (that I can think of) with a massive loop, assuming all of them make it into GT5. I don't mind the southern loop on SSR7 because it's got a sweeper, a hairpin that is both wide and sharp and then that long right-hander, but a constant-radius corner isn't that challenging. They could at east put some dummy chicanes into the main section.

GT4 had the same New York road course before Forza 2 came out if I'm not mistaken. It wasn't as curvy, too. What are you smoking?

It doesn't surprise me too much that they came up with the same layout - there's not a hell of a lot that you can do with a circuit on Manhattan. You can either go through the financial district, go through Central Park, or go somewhere up near Yeshiva University, because they're the only three places with roads that aren't on a grid pattern. And because you want something iconic, something recogniseable as New York, you're probably not going to use Yeshiva. Since Broadway is so well-known, it's little surprise that both Polyphony and Turn 10 both opted to use it. But since there's not too many curvy roads adjacent to it, they were both kind of limited.
 
If you look at the description and pic of the Grand Tour event, it appears that a lot of the so called photo mode locations are actual tracks
So that Bern location is both used for photo mode and driving on

Agh! That's the only picture that puts my anticipation of the game over the edge. The Level 13 challenge looks like its more fun than I can even imagine.

There's been speculation that the Grand Tour will mostly be made up of user-generated circuits, kind of like an extended road rally. With photo opportunities along the way, I guess. It's possible since someone posted a picture that shows at least nine different backdrop for the course editor.

How hard can it be to reach Lv. 13?

This is besides the point. The mystery of what the challenge consists of is more interesting. It seems to me as though there may be built-in point-to-point courses. I really don't know what to make of it. Be it that Siena, Italy is a few hundred miles down the coast from even the border of Switzerland-Italy makes the challenges...maybe.

I'm going to take back my AVUS comment from before. The inspiration is almost clearly AVUS but it differs....

If there wasn't that silly overpass configuration at the bottom of the track, it could be AVUS reborn.
