I was just thinking (Watching Initial D) and wondered if any tracks like Fujimi Kaido since it's in Japan would be in GT6 especially with night mode, It would be just so awesome that Forza 5 would be blown away, well okay maybe not blown away but beaten by a huge bit. I would be nice having races uphill and downhill or even races like in Forza 4 "King of the Mountain" or something like this. Would make the game much more dynamic and with night time would make the game have about 2x as much online races.
 
Make it in the course maker, 20x20km or more is big enough :)

And the Ronda area, in GT6, is quite mountainous



should be able to create something like this...
 
I have to say that depend on how the course maker will work if it will also let us do point A to B like Goodwood but not that short only time will tell.But im liking this idea
 
Scenic Routes is what I miss in Gran Turismo, a long mountain road from A to B or a beatiful coastal road. I know Gran Turismo is all about track racing, but 1 or 2 of these normal roads would be nice. Tahiti Road and Grindelwald in GT2 were nice.
 
What he means is a winding public road (not circuit) in a mountain (not a hill).

I still stand by #5 and I'll add Best Motoring International.


edit hours after: I was thinking this topic perfectly describes the flaws of this generation's GT games. Japanese developer, the advertising says it has the AE86 and even the replica of the Initial D car of its creator....then there's zero appropriate tracks in the game (no winding road and can't be created), the cars are 'standard' (ps2 quality in all aspects, including lack of interior view) and the replica doesn't have the engine used in the series, and getting the actual cars requires hours and hours of 'farming' (cycling the UCD).
I know there are plenty of games that feature all what's needed, but the same problem of lack of using licenses properly to the very basics applies to every single piece of content in GT5 and will continue in GT6 (from the info we know, 1.00, no DLC).

Mount Panorama (where the Bathurst race happens) is often reffered to "the mountain" and the track is actually made up of public roads... you can even drive on it with your own car, although for most of the year normal road speed limits apply, so you can't go racing around (don't get any ideas!).

Put a road straight down a hill, sorted!

We still have no idea if the course maker's actual track creation is any different from GT5's (ie; a random track generator, not a creator). So that might not even be possible. Hell, Kaz said it might not even ship with the game...

I can think of an amazing public road not far from me. Many people floc here yearly to tackle it's challenging twists, elevation changes, and off camber switchbacks. If you are not on your best Pikes Peak will bite you, hard!!!!!!!

Let me redirect your attention to the post above ^

It's called a mountain, because most of Australia is dead flat. It's only a mountain by comparison to what else is available. Blue Mountains? Blue slight-rise-in-altitudes.

To people from countries with actual mountains, it's barely a hill.

What makes you think I don't know that?
 
Well I just heard what you guys probably heard ages ago, the COurse maker is supposed to be around 100km x 100km.
That's crazy, you can put 10 Nordschleife's in there.
Maybe they will let us to set out Elevation to change the height of the track so maybe we will be able to create our own mountain races.

You're a month or so behind. It's down to 20x20 (maybe) at last count. Still massive...but quite a bit smaller.

The one in GT5 is, as the name suggests, a "replica" from the one S.Shigeno (Initial D crator) owns, which IIRC, doesn't have the same engine as the one in the anime.
Also I think you can get that 86 by winning some A/B-Spec race.

Completly agree! Largely scenic roads inspired by real counterparts would be great. For me its not always about blasting around a track its more about driving cars that otherwise I'll probably never see, let alone drive
 
I'd love to sculpt myself a 30km drive though some mountains, with big tunnels and lots of hairpins... I hope GT6 will let me do this
