I want to do up a lobby for go-karts and other low PP and "fun" vehicles and wanted to use the track with the shortest distance for it.

Tsukuba and Laguna Seca are good ones, but still not that ideal for Karts...we need Kart Space back.



Let it be known that this topic is yet another reason why butchering every complex classic fantasy track like Deep Forest and Trial Mountain for 'more overtaking' is a stupid idea, and TERRIBLE game design. Now we have a bunch of slow cars with very few good tracks for them, its laughable.

You might wan to rethink that because I'm pretty sure the shortest is Northern Isle Speedway at .9km (.559miles). Tracks like Willow Springs Horse Thief Mile, Streets Of Willow, Autodrome Lago Maggiore (Centre) and Kyoto Driving Park's Miyabi would be good for karts.

There's a good list here https://gran-turismo.fandom.com/wiki/Gran_Turismo_7/Track_List where you can click on the tracks and see the layouts and lengths.
 
Alsace Test Course and the Willow Springs tracks are fun with karts. The sweeping corners make for some good action packed races.

Not a fan of either of those courses (for what im trying to do) but so far the Suzuka East and Alsace Test are doing the job but I would love something even shorter and with more turns.

These are good suggestions, didnt notice some of them because im still working through my menu (almost done). got side tracked with online and missions. What would be amazing though is autumn mini!

Alsace Test is actually what ive been using but I want something even shorter!

Autumn Ring would probably be the most 'useful' track they could add to GT7. Very few tracks compare, but I have a feeling PD would just widen it and extend the straights... taking away all its character.

Oh, why umpteen laps on one track.. why not the Nordschleife with karts? (preferably 30-50 pieces :D what a party)

But yes I think some real kart tracks would be great if we already have karts in the game.
 
Here is a ranking which I have for GT7 tracks. I apologize for the poor formatting in my attempt to copy from my worksheet.
Please reply with notice of any data error; I will edit for correction.

For kart racing, I agree that Autumn Ring or Autumn Ring Mini would be great. I imagine that many of these listed below could be fun.

(unpopular opinion disclaimer...)
I also categorically reject the notion expressed by many that a track can be absolutely too long for for a vehicle. Of course, SSRX is a letdown for most vehicles. A lap there in karts most likely would be intolerable. However, stock '65 Mini Coopers at Spa? I vote [YES].

Since we are talking about tracks for Karts, I found some high quality Kart Space shots on my flashdrive. A remastered version on GT7 would look fantastic I reckon.
