I love the fact that they want to bring old tracks to FIA standards.
I know most people like Trial Mountain etc. but I'd love to see a more realistic version of it, with proper safety standards. Same goes for Cape Ring, which is an amazing track, but that stupid jump needs to go for example.

PD just recently started laser scanning right? Bathurst, red bull ring, silver stone, spa, and brands hatch were all laser scanned. The others are older tracks and are most likely less accurate.

FIA is also promoting this on their own website, they have 230+ members in over 140 countries. They are a saftey regulatory board so they make sure that tracks are safe and up to code. That's a lot of members and so many racing leagues in there this a broad scope.
Surely this might be superficial right now, but they stated a long term partnership meaning that it can grow into something unprecedented just like GT Academy. One thing I hope to see is multi game license so we don't get the blotting out of driver names and venue from official cars that raced(All GT5 carry over race cars lost their designation Le Mans and year stickers as well as drivers real names). This can only mean that now with these guys scrutinizing your builds, PD will have to bring it with sounds and actual rules, and quite possibly the atmosphere from a full on race day.
Cautions for accidents, black flagging, white flags for final lap, pace cars for caution lap(s). Things can get better from that standpoint and as a whole increase GT's overall presentation as well as game play.

If the game tries to portray other series this could be true, but it's worth noting, in the virtual domain, things like cautions do not need to be operated... just ghost out the wayward car. Impose a speed limit automatically, rather than use a safety car. My point is they don't need to replicate these old techniques for controlling grids full of hotheaded drivers, just get the software to do it automatically.
They are creating a NEW series, not immitating an existing one....

In the article they say its a start and more may get licensed in the near future.
The track accuracy is impressive, however this may be a marketing gimmick of sorts, in response to how T10 touts it's outsourced physics and Horizon development.

Well, there's no "how will this work" bit here. You just get to go to sleep better knowing your game has FIA licensed tracks, and 800 HP cars that sound like hyper vacuum cleaners and lawn mowers...

^^ Yeah good question. I think the article mentions of a certification, as in approval: there you go PD, you've gotten the scale and layout of tracks quite right, ol' chap I say!
I know this is not the right thread for it, but if only they invest time, energy and resources to reproducing accurate engine sounds and race effects... boy o boy do the guys at T10 have a thing coming!

I think this is part of the reason for some of the delays, they were making sure their up coming courses are FIA standard for inclusion in the online competition. Also probably why the camber issue was fixed in this last update. There could be a wave of changes coming in the new onslaught of updates to bring GT6 up to a higher level. If FIA is partnering with PD and Sony on this, PD can't simply afford to GT4-GT5 transition it(that was massively horrible). We have a Q&A section that PD actually reads and a GT Blog that gives information, a new update that fixed a glaring issue in the game an out of nowhere FIA back on the F1 schedule course added to the game.
All I see is PD is finally waking up and seeing that the competition is fierce and that they need to do what they did with GT and GT2 do something no one else was doing at the time and leave a mark in history. GT7 should be epic and the only way to make it so is to start right here in GT6. Source the information from the community to ensure that data on cars are as accurate as possible, know which parts of the game need to remain and which needs removing or retooling, what should be considered for inclusion...together we can built it bigger and better. Someone just has to meet us halfway and with FIA now in this partnership, we have a massive safety sanctioning board that will scrutinize PD's recreations so it's a win-win.
Now all that's left to do is to wait and see what come from this endeavor. I'm stoked at the possibilities it brings, an online competition hosted by FIA in GT6 is pretty big.

I tell you how it works:
"Yo dawg I've heard you like badges so we put a FIA certified badge on some of your tracks,
so you can play online racing with our certified badges, while you keep speculating on unexistent FIA certified content and future FIA certified badges while we keep adding FIA certified badges on already existent content."
