Mapping "Zahara de la Sierra" (new GT6 track)

[WJHMH]

Here's a better attempt than my last one:
White is the section shown, Black are parts from the old video, red is just my guess of it following the road to join.

It great to have a possibility of a new course but isn't this a bit too long? You don't want miss a pit in to change tires or fuel.

I'm quite sure you'll be able to figure out fuel and tire consumption per lap when you practice...

Well, we can already see that it has at least one big jump in it, which is rubbish. 👎

Where is thats jump? I don't see it in any of the new videos.

If its shaped as a purpose built track (like Cape Ring was) then I would agree as I too despise that damn jump (moreso then seattle and that just irritated me).

At 0:54.

That clearly isn't new and could therefore have changed since then. Even so, We hardly see how harsh that jump actually is. All we see is a car going into the air and then cut to another scene.

 

[Downhill Dino]

Oh you know what, I didn't even initially realize that was the old trailer. Apologies.

 

[Not_A_Guest]

Oh my. Great time for my PS3 to get bricked, huh?

I'm right behind you. I have to reinsert my game disc 2x to get to read. Only happens with GT6. Skyrim loads fine.

My PS3 is actually bricked. Won't even start up. Dead. I get the red and green light. My father says it's done. A good 7 years of service it gave to my family.

Not sure what to drive first. 288 GTO or lotus elise... or evora... or huayra... or 2D... or pretty much anything. What to do...

 

[Aphelion]

Sorry, my internet froze and i cliked the reply button 2 times

 

[Synapticgap]

Again translation. Probably a time trial around the track. I fit is 30km however, I can imagine perhaps it being split into parts, like small stages.

I have a theory that time rally could be multiplayer, but staggered starts, scored by stage times. I imagine player a starts his lap, player b goes 10 seconds later trying to beat a's first stage time, etc...

 

[Quakebass]

Why do you flip your PS3 like that?

I've repaired my PS3 myself over and over again, getting YLODS every few months...

...I learned that the motherboards in the old PS3s are mounted upside down, meaning when my system gets hot, the solder softens, and the chip disconnects...

...So I tried running the box upside down to keep the YLODs from coming back.

And it worked.

...About twice as long as the previous lifespan.

I have a Ferrari 330 just waiting to tear up this track

I love this idea. the had it in offline GT5, but it was stupid because you could gain minutes on the AI. maybe multiplayer would be better...

 

[Amac500]

That's all fine and dandy, but that doesn't mean it makes for good racing. A jump like that when racing against other people will likely end in tears more times than not, especially in a car with some power. Not my preference, but that doesn't mean anyone else needs to agree with my preference.

I'm generally with you, I hate jumps on tracks and I think its a joke when they add one. Like that ridiculous sprial bridge and jump at Cape Ring... pure stupidity. But the jump will be appropriate when racing certain cars. Back in the day at races like the Mille Miglia, Targa Zahara, and various GP tracks cars would get air going over certain crests. This is a long track made of street roads like the Targa Zahara and Mille Miglia so in a classic sports car it's alright.

The other thing to keep in mind is that the jump we saw in that trailer was with the Toyota FT1, which is a 550pp car. If your running 500pp it may just be a little hop and not a jump, and if your running 450pp you may not notice it all. We'll have to see what its like when we get the track.

I'll be taking out a Toyota 7.

I'll finally be taking out my Lamborghini Miura!!! When we thought the track was coming out in February I spent a full day painfully grinding the Red Bull standard championship to buy it and break it in on the track. Thought a classic Euro sports car would be perfect for those winding European roads. Still have stayed true to my guns and haven't driven the car yet, it will be broken in the second the track is added! Thank God too, was starting to wonder if my $15 million Miura would even get driven in GT6!

I took mine to a cruise lobby. It was crashed into in the first five minutes.

and by the "Magic" of it being a game, repair costs were nothing....

 

[Aphelion]

looks like a really nice track too... perfect for photomode!

Looks like it will a nice fresh spot to take pictures with a long length of track to find angles.

I know its a game without actually damage rendering, but I feel that pain... That's why my first drive will be private, likely in test drive from the garage so that the replay shows my driver in the car rather than the arcade mode AI drivers.

 

[NW48]

Plus also, do you realise the sneek peek where the FT1 is driven on that Zahara? Nice foreshadowing PD, now we get the VGT version

I've said that so many times, it's not funny. Zahara and the Toyota FT-1 VGT may come out together if my prediction is right.

You might as well be right.

Scenario B, remember?

I also predicted in a convo with @Amac500 that the first two weeks of September will be some of the best for GT6 with a new track (Zahara), a new car (NISMO GT-R), a 'promised' feature (Quick Match) and 1-3 VGT's (Toyota, Subaru, Alfa). I quoted the posts I said it in some 5 pages ago (from memory).

 

[NW48]

And sorry for the double post but I think something must be addressed;
I am purely speculating, even though pretty much all of the time I'm right (which scares me ALOT), I'm not an 'insider'. I'm just using business sense, patterns and trends and good ole' common sense to make these predictions.

Don't forget those little surprises that come with every update

 

[sparkytooth]

So far we know this:

1.12 is next week
Toyota FT-1 VGT to be included (It's a hybrid)
Circuito de la Sierra is released with it's corresponding Special Event
If Kaz's soon is to be believed, the Nismo GT-R will also be released for the first time in a video game within Gran Turismo 6.
Apparently a new hud element is to be added.

I remember when you first post about saving up to buy this miura and get to test it only on this track.
I did the same thing when the track was found out in the game files, except I went cheap and bought a One-77, but your story is rather sad anyway, I can't look at miuras anymore without thinking about that guy who farmed to buy one and never got to use it because PD delay the track... but at least you're going to now, this is what matters.
