GT5 Racetrack Wish List V3.1

[saint_dracula]

I was just thinking about El Capitan; how about having a country-road type of track consisting of

a) American highways (think route 66)
b) British B-Roads (bumpy, sometimes narrow, treacherous, and windy)
c) Leafy country roads, possibly like those in Japan.
d) The roads in the Alps, like the Stelvio pass.

In these tracks it'd be nice if there were none of those 'race track paraphernalia'
such as armco and those thingies on corners, just pure roads. Maybe no spectators, nice for high speed cruising.

Also, in fact, how about introducing a spectator cam. Possibly unrealistic, but, as PD hasn't given a definite release date, they aren't committed and therefore can drag it on as long as they want.

These are all already listed my friend, some confirmed as well as seen.

 

[Jim Prower]

Have you seen our car wishlist? Makes this look like a grocery list in comparison.

It's a WISH-list. No, we do NOT expect PD to create every single racetrack. We're just putting the names out there. "Hey! we know you're busy, but if you have the time, Check this one out!" That's kind of the purpose, the rhyme and reason.

EDIT: RACECAR, ya treed me. He's suggesting an abbreviated list of racetracks that PD could realistically model, but I just explained that that's not our purpose.

 

[FORDGTCRAZY]

since when was indy confirmed?

 

[Jim Prower]

If you search up the last thread, either 3.0 or 2.0, there's a link to a news article somewhere that says that PD and the Hulmans have signed a deal for Indy to be in GT5 proper.

 

[CyborgGT]

since when was indy confirmed?

It was also confirmed in an issue of PlayStation: The Official Magazine (US; I think the Holiday '07 issue).

 

[congreek]

I think they should add more night races lke the Singapore F1 and Qatar Moto GP

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Read the opening post of this thread: Singapore is already on it (I should know as I'm the one who mentioned it first in the old thread), and Qatar probably is, too.

 

[Jim Prower]

I dont' have Quatar. I have no idea WHERE THAT IS, though.

 

[Takumi Fujiwara]

Willow Springs International is already listed, but we need the other major tracks in the complex:

Streets of Willow Springs
Horsethief Mile

I'm thinking Horsethief might be less unlikely than it might seem, as it's played host to several Best Motoring events. Streets is hopeful as well - it was in Battle Gear 4, and is the location for a ton of time trial/time attack events.

 

[congreek]

The Qatar Crcuit held it's first Moto GP Event this year from 7-9 March. It is at Losail.
Circuit length:
3.355 miles/5.400 km
Circuit type
Permanent road course

This site has tracks from all over the world and map

 

[prisonermonkeys]

Anyone who knows about E-Tracks - and that's most of us - also knows it hasn't been updated for nearly a year now.

 

[L8 Apex]

May I humbly suggest the older, longer versions of Sebring (e.g. one from the 1970s and one from the mid-1980s)?

Also, the NASCAR- and short-versions of Riverside, plus another defunct but, unlike RIR, still largely intact American road course: Meadowdale International Raceway (closed in 1969, IIRC, and originally had an awesome last corner called the "Monza wall"). Poke around and the 'Net see what you can find.

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I don't think having dormant/extinct circuits is really an obstacle. After all, PD included two versions of Fuji that are long since defunct now that the entire place has been Tilke-fied.

 

[L8 Apex]

I don't think having dormant/extinct circuits is really an obstacle. After all, PD included two versions of Fuji that are long since defunct now that the entire place has been Tilke-fied.

Actually it was Fuji Speedway '80s (sans chicanes) and Fuji Speedway '90s (with chicanes) that existed at the time and that was photographed and measured by PD, IIRC.
The new Tilke-fied version, therefore, had to be based entirely on blueprints and whatnot (for GT4, anyway; not sure if they went back to document the new version "in the flesh" for GT5 and GT5).
I guess what I'm saying is that (thankfully) yes, including real world tracks that they didn't/couldn't go out and measure would not be without precedent. I can almost see PD employees knocking on doors of people living in one of the housing tracts built on the site of Riverside International Raceway, politely asking the residents if they can climb up on their roof and photograph the surrounding Box Springs mountain range to make sure they get the in-game backgrounds right...

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I've got a new one for Singapore: the Thompson Road Circuit, home of the old Singapore Grand Prix.

 

[StarJunor]

I am glad to see Pacific on the US list. I raced my motorcycle there.

 

[RACECAR]

Pacific? What do you mean?

 

[prisonermonkeys]

I think he means Pacific Raceways ... it's the only circuit under America that contains "Pacific".

 

[Johan]

Bilsport Superstage, Emmaboda Airstrip Sweden.

 

[RACECAR]

Guadix Circuit - Spain

 

[deadlyz33]

I would like to see limerock part in CT usa because i've raced on it before and would like to do it again virtually. Although it is a pretty mundane track.

That track is already listed, both configurations if I recall. I do share you wish though as the track looks fun to race on.

 

[Jim Prower]

I am SO sorry for letting this go. List updated.

and I had NO Idea that Qatar was a country. Sorry...Qatarians...Qatarites...whatever...for a stupid Yankee's ignorance.

 

[YSSMAN]

I'm surprised someone nominated Grattan Raceway, you beat me to it! What a lovely, lovely little local racetrack, one that has gained a bit of attention after Car and Driver Magazine began to test cars there a little more than a year ago. I've been around the track numerous times on a bike (probably somewhere around 200+ laps), and I've done at least 5-10 in a car (Camaroboy's '69 Camaro SS).

The track is just plain awesome, but unfortunately, it may be too small for Polyphony to ever put in in there.

Looks like the rest of my ideas have already been called for, in general, a preference towards vintage F1 courses and other street layouts that were used throughout the '60s and '70s around the world.

 

[Ian - AE86]

Personally id love to see Mondello Park in GT5 being from Ireland or at least a few of the UK tracks that are in use in BTCC/Formula Ford like Brands hatch, silverstone, donigton etc....more so to practice on before racing! haha

Worldwide tracks like Spa, Monza, Hockenheim, AVUS, Bahrain, the old Caesars palace track in Vegas!! Circuit Charade, Zolder, the full Zandvoort track, Paul ricard, Ostereichring etc....man i cud go on and on but i think you all get the picture!!

I do believe CAMAROBOY69 was the one who nominated that one, a couple versions ago.

Strange, though, that all the ones you named have already been put up, huh?
