Where do you think the GT2 tracks are set?

Yokohama because the Yokohama Bay Bridge or it could be in Tokyo because the rainbow bridge could be that bridge seen in gt3. And i also remember they talked about some ferris wheel but i don't remember which.

High Speed Ring: Looks like Fuji International, has a ginormous tunnel, and is banked like the abandoned portion of Fuji. It could only be Japan, to me.
Midfield also seems to mimic Suzuka, with some ess-bends, hairpins, and the overpass just like Suzuka full circuit.
Special Stage Route 5 could also be Japan, given the penchant for video games to put all the danger of a Midnight Club-style road course from their own backyard...still, I get the feeling of a European city-based course with the roundabout, the red and white curbing, the mysteriously named road signs point to everywhere, yet nowhere.
Apricot Hill seems to have a lot of circuit-design flavor from Jarama, so I've always felt it was in Spain. Yet, no Spanish flags along the front straight.
Red Rock Valley seems like it could only be in America: Huge bankings, desert sky, canyon-like structures to go with the location. Everyone's favorite GT2-only circuit?

Apricot Hill is apparently in Ohio. Some guy investigated the possibility of building it in real life and the terrain aroung McConnellsville (sp?) matched quite well. The scenery also seems to fit that.
Actually, they didn't include it because, as I recall, someone was going to try to build it in real life and they couldn't get the licensing worked out. The attempt died in time for the track to return in GT4.

Really? It's beautiful down there, but too hilly, no apricot orchards, though we do grow apricots in Ohio. Not enough people down there either for a major track. (Hrmm... Mid-Ohio isn't exactly close to any big population centers, but it is a major course... maybe that theory doesn't apply.)
Where'd you hear that, it'd be interesting to know!

Can you post a direct link. I tried googling Akebone Brake Testing Course but tons of sites came up and I don't feel like weeding them out.
There are lots of "Test Courses" all over the world, though, many of them are simple ovals (but very, very big ovals) because very little speed gets lost as the car is travelling on the banked curves.

Trial Mountain's roads are semi-reminiscent of Cheddar Gorge in England, however the road markings are nothing like UK ones. I wouldn't say any GT track has a UK feel to it.

@Parnelli: try http://www.akebono-brake.com. Should be a pic of it on there, you might have to search a little for it though.
Laguna Seca is actually a real track! Watch this vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_bWOdY6mbU
