Have you been browsing the GT6 sub-forum, reading posts of people discussing an aspect of the game and you totally disagree with their opinion on it? Post it here!

Personally, mine is about Matterhorn. I like driving the tracks and the scenery is magnificent, but it seems completely unrealistic to me. I can't imagine any large race track be nearly 3km above sea-level in the Swiss mountains. What about the spectators, wearing t-shirts when it's below freezing? (In real life it is. PD seem to think that it's like Spain up there.)

How about the fact that anyone would organise a race on a track that has a very long and steep downhill onto an almost hairpin with a cliff on the other side of what looks like a tiny adobe wall or a couple of haystacks?
 
Uhm, you guys do know of the existance of Rally, right? Sure, they don't race each other side by side, but they sure do drive to the limit. And some of the places they drive at are plenty dangerous.

Pikes peak hill climb is a great example.

A lot of rally tracks are also very hazardous.

Not all tracks are enclosed in a safe arena.

...and I'm fairly sure that the Rally Monte-Carlo is just as high up a mountain as the Matterhorn track.

It's a fantasy track. One of the advantages of a fantasy track is you can do things you wouldn't normally do on a real race track. I like that aspect of Matterhorn actually, I've been pleasantly surprised at how much fun each version is.
 
Well, many people love the new redbull engine sound, but I don't. I think it sounds like broken radio at max volume. :D

Don't get me wrong, I love it. But every time I am barrelling down the hill and see the hair pin coming I think "No effing way I'd do this in real life!"

That is true, but the difference is in the speed and the fact that in Rally your can can always be retrieved if you go off. It won't be 2000 feet down the mountain.
