How much of that actually follows the real roads?Yeah it loops back to the same place on the dam at the north of the lake.
Edit: updated the layout to be a bit closer and marked the suspension bridges.

Well, i don't think this update was confirmed for this week... there's a divergence about that in some sites
Famitsu, for example, referred at 1.12 as the 'free update of September', while in the Autosport's site they clearly stated 'a next week update' and changed after the broadcast

It depends. Sure, their transformed, textured, lit and shaded tris might not be rasterised (not a given), but, as I've just written, there are other transformations and processes etc. to do with geometry and textures before writing pixel values to a framebuffer. It is sensible to cull processing on everything outside of the view frustum (with a buffer region for fast movement), but that isn't enough with today's games, you have to use fancy LoD and visibility stuff to reduce the complexity of what is in the frustum. I personally believe that is part of the headache with the open areas, given PD's expertise has predominantly been in "tunnels" up until now.
Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning.

Hey Magellan, your words seem very fitting and appropriate on describing how PD has been leading all of us around the block with the same type of directions... lol

Yeah know even though some of us feel like PD left something on the table with Zahara, this track still might be the ultimate Gran Turismo track. This track will be good for a lot of things for a lot of different people. It can do the Targa Zahara racing I've been talking about, I saw a comment in the news artical that pointed out it will be good for the Touge people, obviously it will serve well as a country road, if your a little ambitious GT3 cars, and I think it will also be good for a tarmac rally course (though PD needs to give a tarmac rally tire, RS tires are too much for rally cars). Any kind of little touring cars should be fun here too.
Also, idk if I'm the only one who did this but I was watching the dashboard on that onboard lap and paying attention to the speed. Now my native tounge is MPH and the display is in KPH, but there were some hard breaking zones and slow corners. A few of them appeared to be as slow as Arnage (before they added runoff). This track might look flowing but the braking might be abrupt enough to prevent it from being too flowing.

I'm totally up for some GT3 action on that track, if only to annoy the stiff trouser brigade.

The other two cars are
Abarth 500 '09 and Volkswagen Golf VI R '10
There are giveaways for the 500 (red mirrors, side stripes and it being in loading screen). The Golf is driven before the GTO.

So the time rally can be done only with three cars...
So will the track be available offline too? Or just online for the rally for now?

The rally is offline...
It will probably just be added to the arcade track list, making it available for driving both online and offline.

We could get the update tonight since the seasonals are changed every Thursday.

Be aware that there is still Thursday (or the rest of Thursday for those who are on that day), Friday, Saterday, and Sunday (If you consider Sunday the end of the week) for them to release the update. However, like I've said in this thread before, I think we will see it early Thursday (mid to late Thursday for people not in North and South America) or early Friday. PD is not late until everyone has reached 0:00 Monday. We just have to be patient.
