Am I the only one who wants to see Nurburgring in wet conditions before the others receive an update?
Makes me wonder if the tracks added via update, which has so far been pretty well supported, will now 'dry up'... in favour of rain conditions for existing tracks.
I'm going back to the rumour via @Tidgney stream comment (I think it was) about 6 months back that there were 3 tracks virtually ready, one of which would be a "surprise". And subsequent comment(s) that Spa was not one of them, and neither was Goodwood Motor Circuit.
Why do we know it's not Spa?A TBA track? Let the speculating commence! We know it's not Spa so what else?
Why do we know it's not Spa?
Spa is not in the game yet, and hasn't been announced, so is still TBA.

Ah, didn't realise it was named for another event.To be fair we don't know for sure, BUT Spa is being used for the Manufacturers Final. It would be a bit weird to name Spa in one event but TBA it for another. But then again PD can be a bit weird so who knows!
Time for a bit of math...
What is the speed of Zonda vs GR1 Bugatti VGT? 12 laps x GR1 x Catalunya = 9 laps x Zonda x (Track TBC + Weather TBC) 💡
I'm guessing the Zonda is a similar speed, but a bit slower than the GR1? If that's the case then that suggests the TBA track race is a bit longer (10 or 20%?) than dry Catalunya.
Catalunya is 2.89 miles.
The following existing tracks are a bit longer:
Dragon Trail Seaside (3.24 miles)
Maggiore GP (3.61 miles)
Kyoto Yamagiwa (3.05 miles)
Sardegna Road Track A (3.18 miles)
Tokyo (various)
Suzuka (3.61 miles)
Autopolis (2.90 miles)
Alsace Village (3.37 miles)
Monza (3.60 miles)
Mount Panorama (3.86 miles)
Fuji is close at 2.84 miles.
Nurburgring GP (3.20 miles).
I don't think it's going to be a new track (just a guess).
I think it's going to be a real track with wet weather (just a guess).
My guess is therefore... Tsukuba...
No - I'd say Suzuka or Fuji.
As an outsider Monza as the race is in the Zonda. But I'm sticking with one of the first two because they're long standing favourites of PD.
Suzuka is a track that was in the launch game, so I'm going with Suzuka Wet.
If I'm right, I'm queuing up for a lottery ticket...
I think there are some clues as to what the next TBA track is. They're not very strong clues, but they could help us in the right direction:
-Each race can only be so long as far as time goes.
-This race only has a fuel and tire consumption of respectively 1x and 2x.
-The race is nine laps, using a notably fast car, the Zonda R.
We know it's not Spa. I doubt it'd be Monza wet since Monza is already being featured in the Nations Cup races that same day. I think that when there are four races in the day, each race roughly takes about 30mins.
I doubt it's Circuito de la Sierra, haha. (I'd love for it to return, though, along with its respective Time Rally - maybe in the next game.)
But unless we get some real surprises in that Gr.B race, I unfortunately don't think we'll have much opportunity to see some new cars get showcased in these races.
Ascari is a corner on Monza, the announced track for the final race...
I’ll add to that this: maybe PD has intentionally obscured the tire type to make it more difficult to guess new dry tracks vs wet tracks. Ascari would be very interesting, but not a total surprise, as it was only just added in GT6 and probably was modeled with the future in mind.Someone later posted a picture of Ascari (the track) on the comment section of this post and Miyazono liked it. It also seems pretty valid, a 9 lap race at Ascari with a Pagani Zonda R, according to the schedule... So it might be still open for some interpretation, let's wait and see!
If any GTP Writers are in the Pro-AM Race, and you get to pick which Pro you race with...
Hi.
I hope PD will be child-proofing anything with sharp edges in the hangar just in case Cody crashes into it and does himself a mischief.
If anyone's interested, I'm live with my first stream in 3 months practising for Salzburg (AKA Piloting a Pug around in the wet )
Circuit Ascari.... In wet?Practising for Salzburg...'in wet'...
Twice Monza in the same event? I don't think so...Zonda R with TBA tires, Ascari is too difficult, practicing for Salzburg in wet...

Autodrome Monza in wet conditions for the next “track reveal”.
I feel as though PD will only be adding wet conditions to pre-existing tracks.
I would bet it's Spa, but since the track is TBA and Spa was already shown in New York maybe it's a new track AND rain is coming with it.Tire is also TBA for Nations Semifinal B group.
New wet course may come.
No, the manufacturer series clearly has Spa-Francorchamps as the Grand Finale:Or maybe it's a TBA just because Spa hasn't been added to the official game yet.
