Ovals VS Road Courses

[shirakawaa]

I'd like to note that most modern-era tracks lack elevation, though.
As for official NASCAR ovals, personally I want to see at least one of each kind (long, medium, short).
We already have two long ones.

By the way please don't touch city and original tracks!
In GT4 my all-time favourite tracks were probably Special Stage Route 5 and Tokyo Route 246.

I want only a few ovals and a lot of road courses

I'd be happy with some Ovals, but at the end of the day, I doubt i'd be spending much time on them than other tracks. But each to their own.

Amen. To both points. We already have Beginner's Circuit (sans chicane) though, so I doubt we're going to get a short track, and Motegi circuit is a suitable Darlington representation, in shape if not in attitude. Give us Phoenix and its in-field configuration then and we'll be golden. Otherwise, I suppose we do have enough ovals. What's the list so far?

Test Course
Beginner's Circuit
Indianapolis
Daytona
Motegi

Did I miss any?

How well does the GT franchise sell in the U.S. compared to the ROTW?
I'm wondering if PD/Sony is making a grab at a large(er) U.S. market by including NASCAR?

Well, a quick wikipedia grab says that GT4 sold a bit over 3m copies. Europe sold 6m and Japan sold 1.25m. Not finding any sales data off hand for NASCAR 09, but I doubt it got that close to GT4's 3m mark.

I believe PD has said themselves they are trying to boost NA sales.

And NASCAR 09 flopped, but that had more to do with it being a terrible game, they didn't even have manufacturers.

Yea, I hope they don't touch original tracks. Well by not touch I mean don't remove. Otherwise though I'm all for including more realworld tracks.

Yea, PD is making an attempt to capture the US market. I think he even said so in the little video where he met Dale Earnhardt Jr.
