this racetrack used to be in the game before... back in GT3 or so I think

My problem with Sonoma is its versions... NASCAR version and full LMP version are a must but what do you do with the Indycar/bike version and the extended Indycar/Bike version? Also, I think it has to do with rights and maybe we will never see it again, sadly

PS : if you add it, please make the setting properly, I've never seen a piece of grass in Sonoma!

 

[PsuPepperoni]

They could add a version with no barriers, so players can use whichever variant they want or drive down the dragstrip.

Anybody but me miss this big, beautiful bastard? Sears Point has to be one of my favorite courses in any racing game I've ever played. Such a great rhythm and flow to it - fun to get into the groove here. Hard to master, but very rewarding. Running a track day here is definitely on my bucket list.

Vote up!

Dammit. I searched for ALL of those terms, individually and together, and no threads came up. Sorry.

 

[VDG]

I was madly in love with this track when GT4 came out. I enjoy time trieling or hot laping wich ever you wana call it. When I was play GT4 I was on this track. This one is number 1 at the top of my wish list, if it comes to GT6 I think my head will explode!.

Besides being upstaged by I-racing, GT6/7 needs this track to get players into driving challenging road courses.
I remember it being in GT4 (?) and I wonder why PD ever removed it. I would love to see it updated.
It has everything that GT players have been asking for: FIA course, NASCAR and a drag strip.
PD could kill several birds with on well placed redesigned stone. And yes, weather and 24 hour time please.

-> Why not include the Drag Stip too!? On which was never featured in GT, but was in Forza.

NHRA Strip

-> Here are the variations that were featured in GT4 and TT:

SCCA Circuit

NASCAR Course

AMA Superbike Course

^ Sorry if I have to repost these track layouts.

Scca layout was in GT4, dont remember It? AMA layout is sick, me want!

 

[The Vanishing Boy]

^ I know the SCCA & NASCAR was on GT4, did you look at the pic itself? lol

-> Based on my experience on Forza 4, I would think the AMA variation was featured.

Only in GT4.

 

[SkylineObsession]

Yeah, i'd actually like this track back too.

 

[EDK]

Seems I've made the mistake of not occasionally replying to this to keep it closer to the front page.

 

[Azure Flare]

I see what you did there.



To at least make it worthwhile

 

[Kingofweasles]

As this is the closest racing circuit to me, I would like to see it return to Gran Turismo.

Same for me, 1 hour without traffic (whenever that is).

Well after attending the Indy race last Sunday, I now want Sears Point back. It's been a few GT's now and I think PD should try to get the license for it. And like a few of you here, it's a toss up for me between Laguna and Sears as I live kinda in the middle of both. lol I love driving on Laguna more than Sears.

 

[EDK]

I ran a track day in my Challenger at this track over the last weekend. Some fast laps here, the first 3 are, anyhow. I made a mistake and shifted forward one lap from where I intended, so have a yellow flag lap in there.

Fast laps here are in the 2:02.5 range.

 

[Harsk100]

This track features in GT4 but it was gone in GT5/6 It should be back.

 

[cbarbosa]

Why not? Voted! 👍

 

[GTvsForza]

Only in GT4.

Also in the PSP

 

[JoaoSilva]

Good memories from this track back in GT4 , i wonder why it wasn't brought back ...

Don't forget the god awful lap in a Chrysler PT Cruiser! I hated that car but Infenion Stock Car Course was my favourite for hot lapping on GT4
