I'm certainly curious when Kaz said that. I found this and this (which are parroted by this on PD's site and this on Sony's blog), but that is a regurgitated press release that also claims that Trial Mountain was rebuilt in the same sentence where it talks about Laguna Seca; calling into question just what "rebuilt" actually means when PD uses the word.
It's also interesting that Laguna Seca is a "new track from the ground up" that still happens to use its GT4-era layout (which was changed soon after GT4, and immediately after Tourist Trophy, was released).

Jesus Christ. All I said was I wonder why they don't promote it on their site or videos, that's it. A thought posted in the open forum. You then decided to try and tell me why for some reason, including that people wouldn't know what it was. I say that they wouldn't know adaptive tesselation either.You have no point.
I wasn't aware GT6 was released for you to make your claims of laser scanning being left out of selling points. And me 'dodging' things is ludicrous. I don't spend my days on gtplanet looking for or picking apart posts trying to find fault in someone's opinions. You don't know what PD wants to highlight. Plus theres no indication every track is laser scanned. Adaptive Tessalation is an aspect used throughout gameplay. Nothing has shown laser scanned tracks are of the same relevance. Keep searching though. One day you'll find your pen pal that likes to have these 'discussions' you say.
And as for your comment johnny, not many 8 year olds know what laser scanning even is. Kids at that age think lasers are on their buzz lightyear toys.
Seriously, I don't know why you're making such a big deal out of one thought I had.

Spent the the day at Mount Panaroma. Today was first practice session for most classes - V8 Supercars, Dunlop Series, Historic, Brute Utes etc.
Absolutely zero Polphony/GT6/Playstation presence. As mentioned above there were a few simulator rigs running an Rfactor Bathurst mod.
However, there was a very strong Microsoft/Forza 5 presence - advertisements, Xbox sponsored corners and of course the Xbox sponsored car that will race the Bathurst 1000 on Sunday. Even the official V8 Supercar website http://www.v8supercars.com.au/ has Forza 5 front and center.
I'm thinking (with my conspiracy hat firmly on my head) that maybe a deal for exclusivity at the race was struck between Microsoft and V8 Supercars.

Microsoft money > PD/SCE

Unfortunately I think that's true. But at the end of the day I don't think it matters - it quite obviously doesn't affect the games popularity, just look at the sales figures.

For now, what worries me is if there's an exclusive deal between Microsoft and V8 Supercars organization .... if that is the case, we might not even be able to have the Nissan Altima V8 Supercars in GT. PD had Bathurst Demo several days before, but not in the main event
I wonder if Microsoft paid good sum of money to make sure PD will never be there I sure don't want that to happen
EA and Porsche is already bad enough

That's not what "machschnel" said/meant. He said "maybe a deal for exclusivity at the race was struck between Microsoft and V8 Supercars.", not for the Forza 5 game itself, although you're also right, it is possible.
That wouldn't be any different to what us aussies have had to do so far to quench our V8 Supercar thurst in GT5. We can assume the AU V8 Supercar, Monaro and Commodore SS from GT5 will carry over onto GT6, so we can still do controlled races where all players have to use only one of the cars mentioned above. At least we are getting Bathurst, it's a start!
