Or you guys can stop assuming it's SSR11 from 4 second gifs and assume it's either a new SSR or a Course Maker track.

Or you could wait a measly 45 days to know all.
 

Sorry I didn't quote the pictures I was refering to.

This is the last turn of Clubman, the only similar turn in R11 would have a ferris Wheel not buildings, it cannot be the last turn of R11 as you turn to the right an up to the finish line. NOTICE THE BUILDING TO THE RIGHT

This is the last turn of R5, R11's last turn is more pronounced you don't see the finish line (the green panel up ahead to the right) until you are on the straight.
NOTICE THE BUILDING TO THE LEFT, same building, right on clubman, left on R5.

Fair enough 👍

Except it's going uphill. The last turn on CSR5 is flat.

Except it's going downhill. The last turn on SSR5 (and SSR11, for that matter) is uphill.
 
The first shot could be the last turn on CSR5 reverse - but also SSR5 reverse and it wouldn't confirm the presence of CSR5. The second shot couldn't be the last turn on SSR5 reverse or SSR11 reverse because it's the wrong way and downhill rather than uphill.
 
These shots are from the weather trailer from about 1:00m. They appear to be of SSR11 or another unknown track, but don't seem to match up with SSR5. I suspect the images of the night city on the trailer can be from more than one track. Images 3 & 4 could be that case.

A lot of the road surface in the shots of the night city track on the weather trailer are from a track that has a elevated road surface.

Not 100% related (it's from SSR5) but I found the signs here hilarious:

Back in topic: could this time SSR5 and SSR11 have a combined layout? We'll have to find out.
 
Have a look at this sequence:

The signs in green in this image that can be seen at a distance here make me wonder if the road doesn't turn sharply to the left.

From what I see, the track here follows a similar layout:

More to come...
 
They do look like reverse layouts, probably why there is so much debate, except the SSR5 sloping turn before the bridge into the hairpin, thats probably the normal layout.

I propose PD give us an "open world" version of SSR stages, where we could driveit like it was a highway with all exits open leading into other sections much like midnight club, which is crap but does the city thing nicely.
 
There's also this. Note the same track and car. Sorry for posting small images, but I couldn't make an animation:

Thanks sir, from what I've heard we can trust you 101% 👍. I would love SSR11 to comeback.
 
By the way, all other SS-like night/rain sequences where high fenced portions of the road could be seen are in my opinion from a new highway track with Special Stage scenery.

A toll booth area can even be seen at the end:

After watching the video, there's a left turn before this picture
picture.php

it can't be the end of R5, looks more like the 'S' just before R5 and clubman split.

But after what they done to High Speed Ring on PS2, we'll have to wait until release.
 
Bumping up with the info that got buried in the Master Track List thread:

More footage at reduced playing speed of what supposedly is a greatly revamped Special Stage Route 11 Reverse, for clarity. The previews look bad, but the videos are ok once they are played:

Left turn. Special Stage Highway?

[youtubehd]GfRHDyQErjA[/youtubehd]

End of left turn. In the original video it's seamlessly after the previous section. However by seeing what's going on, it's from a few seconds later. Weird editing.
It appears there's a right turn at the end of the video by looking at the car in front.

Hmm... Long left turn, then sudden right turn. The right turn appears to be a quick chicane, by looking at how the road illumination continues going on a straight line. Couldn't that be this section of SSR11 reverse? The scenery however looks more like the "highway" version on other video sections.

End of Special Stage Highway with toll booth area?

Regarding SSR11, but not in-game. Have a look at 2:50 in this video. Seems something very familiar:

I called the new unknown "highway" track with Special Stage scenery "Special Stage Route B" because it reminds me the Bayshore Route in Tokyo ("Route B" or "Wangansen"). It's a temporary name I put there until we know what's the right one.
See the video in the post above for comparison. That's the Tokyo Wangansen (Expressway Route B).
