Some 2nd hand(watching a guy play GT5 streamed) impressions of Course Maker.
Some info.
https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=115188&page=247#post4159900
Recap:
Tokyo Bay theme is part of "Driving Park" as it uses that logo when loading.
The kart themed course maker locations seemed to only allow about 4 sectors, and the courses are (at first glance just randomizing) relatively simple compared to random presets of other locations\themes.
Non-karts can drive kart themes.
Alaska theme is very undulating and "sudden" although standard road width (at zero) is fairly wide), has indestructobarriers. Time of day can be set and possibly weather(seen it snowing but couldnt make out the options due to stream quality)
Belgian High Fens theme is known as Liege and is a gravel theme with adjustable time.
Toscana Tarmac, same as preview vids, gets pretty narrow if you set it.
None had Point to Point available yet. Possibly to be unlocked later on...

No, the yellow line in the middle of the track gives it away, plus the Japanese styled buildings
Also Cape Ring has blue/white kerb markings and metal rails on the side

Ah but that road is more narrow than the course maker video, which isnt aproblem because we can adjust it! but also i noticed in the Eifel Garaiya video that the road width influences the tightness of the corners, so teh wider roads had wider sweeping corners even at their most "complex" setting, where as the narrow -5 width sections had extremely tight turns.
The road in the vid above corresponds to about -5 (minimum) width at the Eifel theme.

I see 2 single-car width lanes, the Section 3 of Eifel Garaiya was about 2 cars wide. So its about the same i think.
I just hope the Mt Aso theme goes INTO the mountain passes and not just around the mountain, id love to see all the nice greenery scenery from the vid above and not jsut empty fields.

The theme looks to be around the top parts of the mountain range if it shows the Wind generators, but the theme probably contains the topography of a fairly wide area, so the track can be layed anywhere in the region
You can see a treeline on the side of the video

The tricky part would be making the stage either hillclimb or downhill, youd have try to get the road winding up the topographical map while not having it reconfigured to another start point.
It would be nice if we could select start point on the map and end point (or both for circuits) and just have the randomness happen between those 2 fixed points, but it seems as though the start\end points shift as the layout changes.

Day/night cycles available for all tracks in the track maker? If not, atleast a static day or night option? Same goes for weather options. This is important for me because of the small amount of PD created tracks that support these options.

Static only. You choose the time of day and weather conditions, though I doubt you'd be able to race on some under varying weather (I'm mostly thinking of karts here).
And practically every major circuit created by Polyphony - mostly the real-world ones - has a day/night option and a variable weather option (though not both together); they're just only available on one version of a particular circuit.

What's with the rally track that was in the Best Buy demo, it had day/night cycle, I thought that was created from the track maker. I wonder why the day/night cycles aren't an option on the track maker, the surroundings aren't highly detailed like city tracks so processing power isn't a factor.

Would you mind reposting the Eifel Kart Theme? It's blocked.

That was the final version of Toscana. The track maker theme is tarmac.
Unfortunately I didn't save it
Might be still in my internet cache, I'll have a look.
It basiclly looks like sparser version of Nurburgring.

I'm going to lose so much time on the Course Maker. Between making my own and downloading others it'll sap my life. Any word on how many tracks you can save/store/download?

Probably as many as the memory will allow for.
