What WILL you make with a GPS enabled or very detailed track editor?

[sk8er913]

@wiithepeople Thought you might be interested in making this too I couldn't resist suggesting it too you

I looked up more about my route on the previous page. It's 0.5 miles long. and this is a picture of the start line in real life. I wonder how accurate we can make our scenary...

I can imagine that walking or riding a bicycle will elicit the best results in game.

This post reminds me of the Ghost Town from one of the latest episodes of Top Gear, where they made a track near Madrid.



I believe it's called Sesena, but I can't find the spots, roundabouts and bridge from the clip above on this map ??

Those of you looking to replicate race tracks are wasting your time. It may still end up decent, but you won't get it accurate.

The question is ... will it be more accurate than trying to recreate the track with the GT5 track editor? And that's a resounding yes.

I think this would be an epic endurance track,
it is situated in Wicklow (Ireland). It is approx 40km and has an altitude ranging up to 550m with long straights of 2km and tight hairpin bends.

 

[MadmuppGT]

Depending on the size of the track you can do, I think the first route I'll upload is the two routes I could take to get from my mums house to my dads house, but combine them to create a 10.6 mile loop, with fast straights, dips and drops, chicanes, tight hairpin bends and fast flowing sections.

Be interesting to see how they fair as a track.

 

[YukinoSuzuka]

Like the Course Maker, you can set different track conditions to each sector. Would be cool to create your own sections of the track, such as a junction instead of a 90 degree corner. And a big change in track-width from very wide to a small one way lane at that same junction.

Like in the comment from Madmupp, on his map I see three junctions that could be translated to corners in GT6, but it would be nice to change them back into junctions, crossings or roundabouds

I know, it's wishfull thinking.

 

[MadmuppGT]

Time to break out the GPS find some farm land and walk out some tracks . I wonder if you tilt your data collector will it create a banked corner hmmm.

I'm already expecting someone to walk out a penis track... this is why we cant have nice things haha

That looks and sounds very Nurburgringish

There's this route, just out side of where I live that is really fun even with lack of turns, just because of the elevation changes and some of the cambered turns.

12.3 miles. Could be a really fun Road Rally stage.

Or there's this. the old route that used to run around Cannonsville, which got flooded out to be a reservoir for NYC.

19.5 miles of Backwoods touge.

The parts that are in the country are nice and flowing, gets a little slow around the town area, what with traffic lights and traffic. Theres also a bit where you have to go up and over a swing bridge, that would cause the car to go airbourne, which wouldnt be bad except the road quickly swings to the right after the bridge and then leading into a series of S bends. I can imagine that would be the only place that would cause a problem.

I can see a problem here. There is no way gt6 will be able to replicate the car destroying potholes you have in Ireland

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

This is the first impromptu Circuit I will post here. I call it Woodlawn Manor Circuit. 3-5ish (haven't made a full run yet) miles long. comprises of Norwood road (Woodlawn Manor), Olney/Sandy Spring Road, New Hampshire Avenue, Endor Road. Here, have a go. Lots of straights, turns, and the epic Maryland countrysidehttps://maps.google.com/maps?q=Wood...o9Ng85oKiL9X-oCIM5XQ&cbp=12,8.68,,0,1.19&z=16

there are very few on this track, and it would make it exciting trying to avoid them in a Ferrari or Lamborghini :L

Anybody live here?

 

[sk8er913]

I drove around my half mile track today. its going to be a great addition to me GT6 track list.

 

[Johnnypenso]

Anybody live here?

TBH it looks boring. Straight, hairpin, straight, hairpin, straight, hairpin...need more variety...like this, part of the Targa Florio route

[updera]

we need more street circuits!! like this one which was used in the Bavaria Dublin city race

 

[AMPMROCKETFANN]

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=Batc...I_F6ELD_2wN2wELcqnYYCw&cbp=11,215.79,,0,-3.47Here's another one. This road would make a great tarmac rally stage/point to point time trial for supercars. Though, with some widening, it can be connected to several other roads and handle GT or prototype racing cars

Problem with that is that it's highly unlikely you will see any actual buildings in the output - just the track.

Probably right but I hope if not in GT6, then in GT7, you can at least have different themes for custom tracks like City, Countryside, Mountain, Valley etc. and combinations of each. That would really send coursemaker over the top. Another great feature, again not likely in GT6, is the ability to combine and splice together different recorded pieces of GPS data so we can take several good pieces of road and loop them together.

 

[Chad Daddy]

It would seriously be cool if your track layout could connect to each other and make it like a free roam location.

 

[R5]

A small point-to-point street circuit

Turn 1: A sharp, tight turn with no room for error- that'll lead to contact with the walls.
Turn 2: Higher speed corner, elevated wall on outside means understeer could cost you
Turn 3-4-5 (chicane): a small chicane designed to slow the cars down for the slightly curved straight
Turn 6; a sharp turn on to a much wider road, more room to play a bit
Turn 7-8-9-10 (chicane): a longer chicane; will allow for slower straight line speeds- reduced risk of braking too late
Turn 11: a tight hairpin

Over to finish.

Independence Pass - Colorado

[Cobaiye]

Some roads near my house.

I will call the track "Circuit Saint-Pierre" because it's on the Mount Saint Peter. It has some huge elevation, a lot of fast turns, two hairpins and some tricky turns and it's 17.4 km (10.8 miles) long.

And here are some shots of the elevation with a photo of the place in real life.

 

[Ringmeister]

I'll go for the old Mugello Road Circuit. it was used from 1914 to 1970. 60km of hellish roads, with 2 mountain passes.

The direction is anti-clockwise with the starting grid at the F point.

The section from E to D is the same used in the Mille Miglia (Passo della Futa) but here is on the opposite way. Very twisty at the beginning and super fast at the end.

here some Ferrari prototipe at the end of the 60' brakes at over 290km/h

From C to D is a tremendous hillclimb, with some very dangerous corner.

The first section, from the start line in San Piero to Firenzuola is superb, with some fantastic high speed corners and a fast uphill section until the top of the Giogo Pass. Then, the downhill.


This is my home circuit... I'll be unbeatable here.

 

[Fartybumbum]

First I'd try this street circuit, with some adjustments (eg. the little chicane bit at the very top would be impossible without some serious traffic violations and risk taking).

Then this hill climb:

Shame I can't replicate the view from the summit

That gives me an idea...This track is perfect.

I would learn it with you. add me on PSN and remind me about this when you make it? And Ill show you that short one I will make too, i did 3 laps in real life, its a fun city course. I hope they allow us some control over the scenery. I prefer these shorter tracks anyways, because it takes less time to learn them, and you can create the feeling of having raced a long endurance race in a shorter amount of time because you create a quick lap time. I would estimate my tracks laptime to be no more than 35 seconds in a good handling car.

I hope there is a share function with these tracks, including a rating and a search function, so it is easier for racers to find good courses.

Oh for sure.
