I think you and I are the only ones here who know where Lang Lang is Niz
, but I doubt a circular banked oval would be unique in the world.Speaking of our patch of the world, I've always wondered if TM was a reconstructed version of Mount Panorama.
Hmmmm 24hr TM endurance anyone?

I was giving advice 
Now something along the lines of shut the eff up or you suck or you're retarted, that's impoliteness. Is it unfair to hint every now and then?
PGR is offtopic, I was trying to redirect him or suggest he stay on topic...

Not completely O.T.
In GT2, there is one licence test with the Toyota GTone and the 1st time I took the test my 1st reaction was ( I was born in Belgium ) Oh my god, that's exactly like the scary Eau-Rouge raidillon at Spa Francorchamps circuit. Does anyone remember ?

My dad had a Gillet ...in 1952 . Of course it was a Gillet motorcycle 
To be honest, I don't care if there will be a Vertigo or not in GT4. I prefer more "humble" cars like the Subaru LM edition or the Denso Supra.
My opinion is that the Vertigo made it in GT3 because PD couldn't get a license from Ferrari, the same reason why Ruff made it too.

the existing tracks in GT3 are Laguna Seca one, the city tracks of Rome and Seattle, Monaco, called as Cote d´ Azur...

Here's my map of Rome. I got the street maps from romebuddy.com
As for Special Stage Route 5 and Route 11, I disagree with an earlier post that they share the front straightaway and pits, differences being new development. Tokyo's expressways are numbered Route 1, 2, 3, etc. so logically (in this forum, logic?) Route 5 and Route 11 are different places. From what I can find, Route 11 is in the Odaiba area, which has a ferris wheel and a suspension bridge (Rainbow Bridge), but it's not a cable-stay bridge like the one on Route 11 in the game. Also, in the game there's a roller coaster around the base of the ferris wheel, and in my mind, that makes it Cosmo World in Yokohama. The Yokohama bay bridge is cable-stayed, too, but much larger than what's in the game. I can't find anything remotely resembling roads that would make the course, though.
I know nothing about Tokyo personally, have never been there, but I've spent some time on an on-line map that the Japan National Tourist Organization has, at
http://www.jnto.go.jp/mapindex/E/index.html
and I've Googled a lot of ferris wheels and bridges.
It may well be that both courses are fantasy courses incororating real-world elements, but all those buildings and stuff seems like an awful lot of trouble to fake something out. However, some weird things pop out in my mind. That part of Route 11 that goes under what looks like a freeway to make that hard right turn. . . . That freeway overhead goes nowhere. Maybe it's a monkey zoo up there.

Goof work wfooshee, your Rome circuit looks convincing. It matchs the map pretty well.

as a GT designer member i would know and your answers are no there not real but yes the street courses are roads around the area but there not race courses laguna seca and monaco are real but cannot be copied to the real track eg the graphics and the courses don't look exactly the same but were allowed to be based the track only in the game the graphics around are made up! Test course is real and super speedway is real to a certain extent as well

Well, I read every page. Good work to those who contributed to the thread. I can't vouch for many of the other circuits; but I do think a few GT3 tracks are based on old circuit designs.
Apricot Hill bears a resemblance to the old Jarama circuit.
Midfield Raceway is a little bit like a cross between the Fiorano and Suzuka circuits.

The Seattle Circuit course in GT3 has Safco Field and the old Kingdome. In a post I made a few months ago, I listed all the streets and turns (I was bored at work that day) and mentioned that the new Seahawk's Exhibition Center wihich is right next to the Seahawk's Stadium (Qwest Field) and parking structure occupies the former parking lot that is used to make the turns after you go across the railroad tracks for the "box" corners.
BTW, the replacement for the Kingdome, Seahawks Stadium/Qwest Field, has been in use for 3 years now.

Why is this a sticky? It's not like it's a commonly asked question.

What about Grand Valley Speedway? It has a blue bridge in between three tunnels. It's also a lakeside track with an alternate route (Grand Valley East Section.) How many real race tracks have that?

I've been to Monaco personally when they were setting up barriors for the grand prix of monte carlo, and it was absolutely identical to "Cote'd Azur" in GT3. And about R246, it looks so damn real, so if anybody knows if its actually real or just a based-on, let me know (bigtom21485@yahoo.com)!
Also, who is the GENIOUS behind "String Complex"? That's still my favorite place to do a trial-and-error tuning session (seriously, the only thing that isnt there is a DYNO!).
