MIDFIELD RACEWAY IS BACK!!! + Painted Mazda LM55 and Chapparal 2X!

[Marc30599]

This is good I was racing on midfield on gt2 last week it's good to see this track back!!

 

[TonyLomas]

So, for 1.16, we will have :

- Mid-Field Raceway with dynamic weather and day/night cycle
...

I thought it was just time change, not day and night cycle. I think it will just be that you can pick different daylight times, not race there at night. I hope I'm wrong, just don't want people disappointed.

Yes, time change

Well march is Spring, am i right?

Technically yes. Spring begins near the end of March but I think most here are expecting the March update before spring, possibly next week.

The car to be released in the spring may come in April, May or June

To be honest, yes Midfield was a good track in gt3 & gt4, but in my opinion they did something with Apricot Hill it isn't the same track anymore like in gt4. The first section was in the gt4 edition a simplified set of corners compared with the gt6 version of Apricot Hill. It had a nice flow from the second corner till the end of the first section. In a good word, they made Apricot more difficult and more challenging, but they destroyed the 'flow' through that section. I can't enjoy Apricot Hill that much like I did in gt4.

I hope Midfield is more like it was in gt3 than gt4, more smooth and fast and less challenging, a good track for fast gt- and cupracing events with close wheel to wheel races.

This is why I said earlier that I hope Midfield hasn't lost its magic in the way I remember it from back in the day when I used to run it over and over, never got tired of it.....really enjoyed racing there, very fond memories. I also have to agree with you about Apricot Hill. It just isn't how I remember it from back in the day, I just hope Midfield doesn't fall into that same hole.

High Speed Ring too. I found that had a very different feel when it was reinvented for the PS3.

 

[ToyGTone]

^ Well High Speed Ring in GT5 are similar in some ways to the GT4 one's.

 

[GTP_CargoRatt]

Don't remember HSR much from the other iterations. Like I've said before, I wasn't as into the game back then like I am now. Hell, I hardly remember which one it was that I did race Midfield so much on. I've played all games, but only sparingly except one, and I don't even remember which one that was, but whatever one it was, I remember getting up to around 80% completed before a nasty glitch happened where all my cars disappeared, game progress too I believe. Lost interest for awhile after that. Think maybe it was 3 or 4. I remember I was running on the big test track when it all happened......poof, then nothing, all cars gone.

 

[karelpipa]

I curious if it has a proper full 24h daytime..I fear it does not.

Yeah, HSR should be re-reinvented to be closer to its PS1 appearance as a race track. It does not lookd good for me and i hate driving it without banked esses and corners.

 

[GTPVenomZombie]

So yesterday I said they could be a VGT in the update, and now screenshots of a new Mini John Cooper Works. If this is the actual VGT, I will be freaked out. If its not, bah stuff it we get a new car anyway

 

[fagnerpc]

Blue Chapparal 2X

 

[tankuroded]

Blue Chapparal 2X and B-Spec

Fixed

 

[Giygas]

Given that a portion of the 2x is already Gold, i don't think any of the Gold Chromes would be out of place or gawdy here.

 

[MatskiMonk]

I think the Chappy VGT might be the only car which a straight Chrome Chrome paint chip works on.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

'You can play PlayStation titles on PlayStation 3; maybe if you drive Mid-Field on Gran Turismo 2, you might discover something unexpected!'

I desperately want to know what that means. My guess would be having a GT2 save game gives you something in GT6 or gets added to the revised Midfield course, but I doubt the system would be able to cross check save files like that, let alone just change content because of it.

 

[teth75]

Fired up ps2 only a few months back, just so me and a friend could enjoy mid-field again! So to FINALLY after SO many years hoping and waiting ( damn i've build a pc and started playing assetto corsa 3 months ago?, thats how long.. ) for this track.

I'll be firing up ps3 asap and updating GT6 for this, for sure!! PD a belated THANKYOU. "Better late than never".

 

[sk8er913]

We've been calling the update 1.16 ... but doesn't this feel more like a 2.0?

No. Needs Course Maker, Seattle, SSR11, and Complex String

 

[Cosmos29]

Seem irrefutable now that PD is listening to the GT Planet community regarding most wanted tracks based on the reference to Mid-Field and Seattle in the post. Delighted to hear this news as a long time fan of the series since the release of GT1.

I haven't driven complex string but from looking at the layout it doesn't seem like a course I would be interested in, seems unrealistic and overly complex for a race circut. I have never really cared for the SSR tracks much either. Seattle on the other hand is a very nice track as is El Capitan. New York was pretty good too and would be nice to see sonoma back again.

Sonoma << Most technical and difficult track in the USA. But it still flows great I think of it as "The short American Nurburgring" lol

Where was Seattle mentioned?

That's why it's complex string and not simple string . But yeah, it was always more of a test track than a race track.

Where was Seattle mentioned?

"The track was always at the top ranks of user requests, right next to the Seattle circuit."

I thought it said pikes peak... o.o maybe they changed it?

Nah, you just hallucinated it.

 

[sk8er913]

Nah, you just hallucinated it.

No I didnt :-)

"GTPlanet has voted the circuit as its second-most wanted track in our Gran Turismo Track Suggestions forum, sitting behind only the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb Course (another classic from GT2)."

No, still hallucinated, GTP was never called out in the blog post even when it was first posted.

That's a quote from the GTPlanet blog post, not PD's Pitstop blog that @Cosmos29 was referring to.

This was the blog article.

This is the GTPlanet news article.
