Nurburgring.
I know, I read through the pages of this thread. :sly:
But there's only 1 of me :(
Or how about me? :D

"Okay so um. We're going to like, name the coner "Toko". Oh, my gosh, that sounds perfect despite Toko not being THAT legendary of a GTP member. Alright people *claps*, who agrees because, wow that sounds so fabulous. *Giggles*"

:lol:
 
I propose a contest if such a thing is possible. We start a thread for naming the corners, and we use our GTP nametags as the corner and major straight names. Simply post in the thread if you're interested, you get one entry, then we drop all the names into some kind of randomizing program and voila...wherever you land on the randomized list is your corner/straight. Penso straight, Tenacious Esses, Toko Alley, Furinkazen Hairpin, Sparky Straight...you get the idea. You pick, you just have to use part or all of your own name, leaving out the numbers of course.
Thread link?
 
Tenacious Dip? :lol: I dunno, something corny would work.

In any case, I'm with Whistle Snap. Some locations like Willow Springs mapped out to 10-ish klicks, and with alternate layouts there already, would be super as Course Maker Themes. Other Side of the Mountain? ;)
 
Four huge open environments with a track, maybe these are possible Course Maker themes? I believe they will be, why else would they build these tracks this way?

When the other tracks are like tunnels plonked in the middle of 360 photo of the backdrop, so no possible way to use them in Course Maker.

You truly are a god, arent you?

Maybe this is what Kaz means when he said the course maker was in beta?

Umm.. a separate thread to name corners to a yet to be announced track? This is valuable stuff.

Next you'll tell me were going to start a new thread to claim number plates for our cars.

I recognize this as the Alain Prost Karting facility at LeMans but are you saying it's a completely separate map in the database? As in these tracks are actually modeled as a drivable course or just part of the scenery like other kart tracks, Spa for example.

It's all that, new data available from the last update or just something found randomly inside the game?

If is new data, are probably updated tracks that will replace what are currently in the game. I don't think anything of that have any relation with a future course maker. Seems to me the differences between streamed and full loaded at memory tracks. Not all tracks are modelled with the same specs in mind. If the current tracks are placed at the center of the vast environment and can be seen fully detailed will confirm what I said.

So be cautious with all the hype.

So can you play on these tracks yourself?
 
Seems strange that goodwood would be one of these as the hillclimb is so small, I would expect ascari to be one, the other willow springs circuits and le mans Kart Circuits look pretty detailed to me, why can't we drive them!
 
I noticed at launch that Willow Springs was modeled out to a large distance; Bathurst is also noticeably large thanks to the view from the mountain. It doesn't, of course, mean that they're course maker locations per se. I'd suspect it's more likely to be that these tracks make use of a newer modeling technique, that possibly takes advantage of tech developed for the course maker's huge locations (i.e. large draw-distances first seen with SSRX, geometry streaming etc.).

I have noticed that Willow Springs, among others, is screaming out for an open layout, especially if it comes with an autocross / gymkhana editor (GT Arena: "You can also remove the cornerstones and corner barriers to set up a variety of attractions using cones."). That's potentially a separate thing from the course maker as we knew it in GT5, though.

It's also fun to remember that Ascari is just up the road from Ronda. :D

Oh man am I looking forward to this track, hoping it's unlocked for seasonals tonight
