Saw that site... but i managed to get a street address for one of the surrounding roads...

here is where the real rome circuit is... peiced together from Yahoo maps...

 

[FLYR31]

None that I know of.

 

[FLYR31]

Thats an interesting one Andy

 

[AndyRaeside]

How can you say they don't exist FLYR31...

I've just shown graphic evidence for Seattle and Rome being made up of real streets...

Sure they aren't raced on as real circuits... but the layouts do exist... and i'm sure if governments would allow it and it was safe enought then they probably could close of the streets ala GT3 and race there... If Monaco can get away with it then anything is possible

 

[F1man]

so they are only layouts and gt3 put it together?!

 

[AndyRaeside]

What the developers have done is say "Ok, we need some circuits"... and then came up with Seattle for the Americans, Rome for us Europeans and Tokyo for the Japanese.

Basicly they have take a streetmap of the city and picked out some streets that they felt created a good track with some good scenery ie Seattle has that long run down past the staduim and Rome has the run round the Colosseum.

These circuits do exist in real life as city streets... but unlike Monaco where every year they close the streets off and race... these circuits have never had that oppertunity... except in GT3 of course.

NICE ACCUATECEY WITHOUT knowing what direction it is going!

 

[pedrodaman]

some good layouts there it would interesting to see if someone can come up with the tokyo circuits

If this rumor of R246 is a layout of streets then it might be possible that route 5 and R11 are also layouts

could this be possible??

 

[F1man]

maybe! i may look for them in a min!

 

[pedrodaman]

Damn i thought i found the tokyo circuit

i ran a search for S.C.E Headquarters but the result was the SONY headquarters with partial map not enough to go on unfortunatly

I will continue my search

 

[F1man]

 

[F1man]

THE SONY BUILDING IS IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[pedrodaman]

I know it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack

Or in this case a circuit out of spaghetti

 

[F1man]

at the right lower part of that!

 

[F1man]

did you see it?

 

[pedrodaman]

That could be the SONY Building... not the SCE building there is no way of knowing

 

[pedrodaman]

heres what i found im not sure what Headquarters we are looking at here it my be SCE or the SONY Building

The map is incomplete but some of it looks like it may be parts of R246 not sure on that though
what do you guys think??

 

[F1man]

at least part of that road might be in that pic!

 

[F1man]

i think that may be the turn that you take right before you speed down the straight! the last on on tokyo 1

 

[F1man]

*looking for sony building at tokyo!*

 

[pedrodaman]

An address would make things so much easier

Can't find pics of the building there's gotta be some somewhere the search continues

 

[F1man]

i think i may have found something....... at the end of the straight of tokyo 1 you will see a tall brown building and it says Polyohony digital on it. i may or may not mean anything! im looking for more

 

[pedrodaman]

Getting closer now to find the location of it

 

[F1man]

good work we`re getting there!

 

[F1man]

i`m just lookin on my game for street sighns etc. IF ONLY I CAN READ THEM!

 

[F1man]
