Seattle Short.
80/100
I like these short versions of original tracks. Especially Seattle.
Not much to say so.
Next track: Tahiti Dirt R3

Laguna Seca in GT2: 70/100
PD did a really awesome job with it in GT2, or at least as good as they could accomplish with the PS1 system. It's their very first attempt at a real-life track. But there are flaws...the usual pixellation and poor graphics. The fact that nothing exists 40-80 feet ahead of the driver, which makes it hard to gauge where to aim the car if the driver doesn't know the track. And the corkscrew is not as tight as it is in real-life.
But it's fun. The Ai can't drive the corkscrew half the time, and it's funny to watch them spin out (Muscle Car races!) like a bunch of newbs. Also, if you break thru the barrier off-track, there's some weird **** out there, some say it's supposed to be the lost "drag strip" that never got included in GT2.
Next: Rome Short
Smokey Mountain was my 2nd favorite rally course (behind Green Forest). This course feels like the backdrop to GT4's Swiss Alps course. Long sweeping turns and uphill/downhill features. Jumps. And the side grass actually works at slowing down, for more realism. Great place to have some WRC fun.
Next up is: Rome Short Course Reverse
100/100
Awesome slipstreaming fun! Banked corners! I miss the old Test Course...
Next up...Rome-Night Reverse
Now:...... Apricot Hill.
I have to rate it high, because I recently did 50 laps there for the Endurance. It is a very fun track, and has odd similarities to Suzuka Circuit, including the hairpin, the chicane, and the straightaway the leads to the long, sweeping turn, and then turns into the esses. It's very technical compared to some tracks, and it is better for it.
Next is: Smokey Mountain North Reverse
Special Stage Route 5 / Reverse
tankuroded^82/100. High flowing track , but mistake could lead to time-wasting spins .
Next: Motor Sports Land
80/100. Nice tiny track well made for small cars to kei cars. Helps with car control and cornering... I'd be scared to drive a Speed 12 there .
Next track: Super Speedway!
