My sunday drive route: BR-040 between Rio City and Petropolis.
What WILL you make with a GPS enabled or very detailed track editor?

I think simple is best. I would make a 1/4 mile oval with maybe 10-15 degree banked turns and maybe a ~1.5 mile road course with 8-10 turns that flow into each other well similar to the technical section of the new circuit in texas. The more technical a course is though, the more difficult it is to have a clean and competitive race online.

I think it would have to be where clarkson reviewed the F-type..
and then Pikes Peak

I live in a small town, I'd map the loop of main streets that go around town. If the area they say can be mapped is accurate, I'll be able to fit the whole town for sure, and I'd also map short tracks of smaller areas. There'd be alot of good little tracks around here especially if elevation changes are mapped.
For tracks I'd create if the create-a-track is actually passable this time and I can control elevation and track layout: first on the list would be the shorter NASCAR layout of Watkin's Glen. It's my favorite track. I could recreate it perfectly for sure. I created it perfectly (almost) with GT5's creator, it was just scaled up being longer but the layout and even elevation changes were all pretty accurate. Unfortunately I lost the save being an idiot duping while a bit tipsy and could never re-create it no matter how many times I tried with the same formula because the terrain never came out the same way. SOOOO annoying. But if I could make it with a completely random editor, I could do it with any even decent editor.
I'd also create immediately; Bristol, Martinsville, Richmond, New Hampshire, Phoenix, Pocono, Sanoma and two "Fantasy Tracks" from old NASCAR games (2005 and 2006) called Levi Strauss and Old Spice.
Keep in mind I don't really think I'll be able to do any of that stuff I just said because I don't know if I believe the Create-A-Tracck feature will be good enough to control terrain and adjust as much banking as we please to be able to perfectly create tracks.......especially Ovals which imo unless it's just flat requires a few very specific tools I just don't imaging PD will give us considering how limited our options were in GT5. Though I DO have my fingers crossed to be pleasently surprised with the editor in GT6, I'm just not getting my hopes up about it.
Have PD released any new info on the track creator or sharing system for the tracks recently?

Grattan Raceway. I made it in Far Cry 2. But that FC map editor is the ULTIMATE map editor.

We would be lucky if the system allows for elevation changes, so dont expect too much as far as scenery and shrubberry... It's great/awesome enough that we can import real life tracks (surface-wise), but as for the look and final product (virtual race) dont expect to have the same environment.
Ex: if someone were to drive around an urban environment or even the above scenic landscape, what you will be racing on GT6 will not look like it, albeit you will get closely the track, but not the mountains or the buildings...
Manage your expectations guys

I think we all know this. Just having the corners & elevation changes mapped into the game is enough for me.We would be lucky if the system allows for elevation changes, so dont expect too much as far as scenery and shrubberry...

Exactly. Even "if" we don't get control elevation change it's still a way cool feature to be able to map out the turns and such.

Assuming you live near them. You guys have to remember this is a GPS based creator, meaning you drive your real car on a road or track and then use that GPS data to generate the road in-game.I'd try to recreate real rally stages. Some famous roads too, imagine making the Bolvian Death Road!

Do you think we will be able to drive certain corners and link them together? All my favorites are miles apart!

The GPS Logger feature could be incredible. Let us just hope that PD allow created circuits to be fully shared and not just with Friends. I would not be surprised if this happened.

Take your pick, I live in Derbyshire 20-30 minutes from 7 of the top 10.
