While the inclusion of Australia’s Mount Panorama Circuit has yet to be confirmed by Polyphony Digital despite having been scanned some time ago, according to a report by theage.com.au they are looking to flag an announcement at Mount Panorama around the time racing season is set to begin.
“I’ve heard the rumours,” he joked, “We haven’t announced that yet.”
“Australia is still coming out of the winter, we are hoping that we might be able to make some kind of announcement around the time it becomes racing season.”
Italian gaming website, multiplayer.it toured the offices of Polyphony Digital and while mentioning more track and vehicle announcements are on the way in the form of paid and free content alike, Australia will be represented in-game with “top secret” locations.
“From here [to] December 6, there will be further announcements in terms of additional tracks and cars, and support after the release will be huge, in the form of both free and paid content. Australia will dawn with a couple of tracks / locations top secret for now…”
Yet another interesting bit of news in the same article is the Red X2010 and 2011 being updated to 2014 spec for inclusion in GT6. As any of this news has yet to be officially confirmed by Polyphony Digital, it would be best to take these rumors with a grain of salt.
Credit to DarhtMossco and mcalva98 for the tips!
Can’t wait to start seeing videos of the finished game. Only 2 months to release date!
Bathurst will be a great track.
The more real world tracks in GT6 the better, bring it on! :-)
This will be so amazing!!
They want to keep the Redbulls in?
Those were the worst cars that have been included in any GT game.
Completely pointless, unrealistic and ruined every fun online as long as the lobby host didn’t put the power points low enough to keep them out. Sooner or later there will always be someone who picks the X1, because he can only win with that junk on 4 wheels.
I wouldn’t mind to see some V8 Supercars tracks like Eastern Creek, Sandown, Barbagallo or Oran Park.
I was always hoping for a V8 Supercars DLC for GT5 with the new cars and maybe 1 or 2 tracks.
what the hell, they are not oh so unrealistic as you may think. Modern day racing as you may well know is limited by regulations, down force, fuel, tires, etc. The x1 was designed not to follow any of those rules. Granted I don’t like the car being driven by an idiot any more than the next person, but it is indeed a real possibility. The two big problems with the car would be the price to build such a specialized car, and the fact that if it was built, the driver would have to be trained to handle jet pilot G’s.
No, the car ignored physics too. The fan on the bottom would force te car to chew itself up. It happened to the 2J back in the day too. The fan sucks up any debris or gravel on the track and sucks it through the engine. The car isn’t a viable possibility for more than 2 laps.
One thing you forgot there, Amac500 – In the video on GTTV it was pointed out that the X1 would cost $5million in fuel to just do ONE lap of the Nuburgring Gran Prix circuit!
stiggylab17 – What the hell? Do you not research before making comments? The two big problems are not what you stated but are the cost of actually running one (see above paragraph) and that even a jet pilot couldn’t handle the G’s! He would turn into a human milk-shake on the first corner!!!!
Haha, “human milkshake”, I couldn’t have said it better myself!
I honestly find the Red Bulls too be the most pointless car in the game. Those things are so fast and delicate they need there own tracks too actually competitively race another car. I wouldn’t mind if it was not included.
Thank god, little x1 hate. Tbh im glad theres an 2014 version coming, must be a big step up.
Also, saw the nike one as an award, seem legit as the Nike TWO is in game, shown via The concepts video
Winton? Wasnt the one Ordonez tested on? And Nissan won so who knows… Maybe they got their Altima set up in GT6…
I love how PD is keeping the anticipation and hype going. They have mastered the art self promotion. The only problem that I have is that I to have been let down in the past my PD. With all the hype surrounding the release of this new title with its tracks, cars, and physics, Im preparing myself for a few shortcomings.
Well Phillip Island obviously, plus they were caught filming at Bathurst, so there you go, speculation over.
man… i got all hyped up looking at the first picture thinking it was an in-game shot. I knew the second was real life… I wsh they would start revealing screenshots every week or so..
Top secret? come on! its a game!!
Exactly so why is it that you are making into something more than that?
Straight from the Scotteipedia!
Fail wrong are to post *FFS-SMH*
Once that it seems clear that Mount Panorama will be in, my bet for the second location is… a photomode location, e.g. Ayers Rock or the like…
Yes to Mt. Panorama and maybe photo location Sydney Opera House
*fingers crossed*
Would be nice to see Surfers Paradise or Adelaide with Bathurst but Melbourne is a great track too.
I have a sneaking suspicion that while one track is Mount Panorama, the other one is either Melbourne or Surfer’s Paradise
So weve pretty much been told everything added to gt6. Personally I would have liked to find out when I bought the game. Now people expect this and more.
I just wanna flog a boganified ford falcon v8 supercar around skyline getting sideways and listening to the bogans on the mountain burning out a portaloo
yo… you got a translation ready for that?
I wanna race something over powered on the worlds greatest track
I hope the second track is Hidden Valley, Wish they would include Pukekohe Guess im going to have to try make that one with the track creator. :-(
I have a copy of Pukekohe made by a friend – send me an FR if you want it.
yea if you have something close i will give it a whack ill add youvtomorrow if thats ok. what your psn name?
Can’t wait to be thrashing a lot of cars down Conrod Straight in Gran Turismo 6 bring it on
This game is shaping up to have the best track list ever.
I’m having a hard time waiting for this game.
Oh boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy, finally some GT love shines on Oz. C’mon on Kaz you have woo’ed me with your track offerings from our humble little continent now wow me with some Aussie V8 Grunt!!!! It’s love and marriage, you can’t have one without the other
Calm your jocks there sayba2th! Remember, there are 200 new cars being added and we have not even been shown one quarter of them… That leaves over 150 cars to keep our imaginations ticking over!!!
150 + cars to go, that’s hard thing to do SD, esp with Jalponik, TGS and if it’s not there then we are only a few weeks of the Bathurst 1000 that we should hear the other track / tracks from here. And the thoughts of what Iconic Aussie cars we may be getting well you are asking a tough thing to do cuz!
Sorry bro, that’s the way it has to be! I’m as excited as anyone about what could be, but I’m not getting myself in a tizzy over it…
Ahh, who am I kidding here?
If you scroll down a little bit, you’ll see a sort of Aussie car “wish list” I did…
Good news indeed. Interesting little tidbit about flat tracks being so much easier to map that those with more extreme elevation changes. Gives some insight into why so many tracks in GT5 are flat or nearly so.
You know what will go well with Australian locations? Premium Australian cars!!
If by those you mean Ford/GM cars (Holden/etc), then I’d agree with that as well. Nothing wrong with having more RWD premium cars.
HSV E3 GTS & Gen-F GTS please :D
I think they’re waiting to see what the Volvo V8SC will look like so we can have a full grid :) check the V8 Supercars Thread for updates and progress.
HSV and FPV, can’t have one without the other. Some of the old Group C would be spectacular (Brockies dayglo Bathurst winning VK for starters) The A9X Torana, Walkinshaw VL Commodore, HK Monaro, HDT’s just to throw a little flavour in the mix!
I’d personally like to see some older gmh cars like a9x Torana or maybe some old commodores. Vl turbo wouldn’t be bad…
What GT6 really needs is some cars in keeping with the US muscle that is already in the game. Example:-
Holden – A9X Torana (SLR5000), XU-1 Torana, HJ Monaro, HJ Premier, WB Ute, C60 Coupe Concept (AWD Monaro), Torana Concept, VF Commodore sedan and the Efijy (concept car)!
Ford – XY GT-HO Phase III, XC Cobra and the FG Falcon
HSV – E3 GTS, Gen-F Senator, Clubsport R8, Maloo R8, XU8, XU6, XUV, Coupe4 (AWD Monaro), W427, SV5000 and SV6000.
FPV – F6 Typhoon (2004), Super Pursuit, GT Spec R Cobra (sedan and ute), Force 8 and XC Cobra concept (2008)!
@ ScotteDawg
What about the winner & runner up cars from 1992 Bathurst 1000?
Winfield Team Nissan Skyline R32 GT-R & Shell Ultra-High Racing Ford Sierra RS500.
That win from Mark Skaife & Jim Richards brought the end of the Australian Group A Touring Cars Championship and the Australian V8 Supercars Championship was born. So I reckon that GT-R should be included in GT6 and the Ford Sierra RS500 as a bonus.
Jim Richards’ response to the booing Aussie crowd was legendary . ‘You guys are pack of a******s’ :D
I actually did a list of EVERY car that has run at Bathurst about two months or so ago!
These were included!
http://www.gtplanet.net/gt-academy-champions-take-on-supergt-and-bathurst/
@ sangdude82 – follow the link, scroll down and I have a list of all 43 of the non-Australian cars that have been involved at Bathurst (and, subsequently, the Australian Touring Car Series) between 1983 and 1993. And I do remember Jim Richards saying that!!!
For anyone interested in seeing the events that led up to what sangdude82 told us Jim Richards said and want to watch the 3 and a half minute video, … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2jOqmjSk0mI
@ ScotteDawg
Oh, sorry about that lol. I didn’t mean that way. I’m well aware of your overwhelming knowledge on Australian Motor Racing.
I’ve mentioned them wishing those 2 cars will come to GT6 as DLC in the future.
I’m gonna race against you a lot on Bathurst :D
It looks like they gonna confirm the inclusion of Bathurst at the Bathurst 1000 next month though.
p.s. Tokyo Game Show was utterly disappointing.
“Red X2010 and 2011 being updated to 2014 spec for inclusion in GT6”
Soo, does that mean that there will be an X2014? lol
It would be funny if they came out with a x1900. Lol what would THAT look like?
Quigz125: back in 1999 Rige Racer had a X2010/2011 look a like, it’s called the Assoluto Squalo
That photo above, I would love it to look excatly like that in GT6, so beautiful. *.* If not than, no prob, I just want those two tracks. :)
P.S. I’m surprised those mindless HATERZ aren’t whining to this too…..
You sure often encourages them/usTme TT ..
There isn’t anything to be sure about just yet, besides mount Panorama – The rest and like this post is suggesting is just guessing, and for me, I have some Favorites, but in the end, anyone would do as the second one to be announced ..
Waaaaa! “I don’t want stupid Oz in the game its in the wrong hemisphere (sniff sniff) so I don’t wanna drive upside down, it’s the Ass end of the world (sniff sniff), I will get bitten by a spider or snake and a shark will bite my car in half waaaaaaaaaah! Happy now Toko see what you did you made me troll!
^ Hahaha! XD
Personally, I want to see Adelaide. I just want to tackle that Turn 8.
Adelaide (for those of you that may not be familiar with the track) had two layouts.
One, as you all may know, is the Clipsal 500 track, but about 18 years ago we had a Grand Prix circuit, which is basically the Clipsal 500 track with a few “streets” added to it!
For a street circuit course, Adelaide was held in the highest regard by ALL F1 drivers, who very nearly boycotted the Melbourne GP when they (Melbourne) won the tender to host the Australian GP over Adelaide!
The Adelaide GP circuit layout made for a fantastic track. Nice knowledge bomb to drop on the Jr’s and uninitiated Scotte!
@scotte Best knowledgebomb!
I like the shorter layout
Instead of Melbourne’s Albert Park, I think a city course would do. Sydney is a good city course contender.
I miss Oran Park as well. That place was fun with V8 Supercars on Toca Race Driver 3!!!!
Me too, Oran Park was a kick ass little track that even had an overpass crossover point. Sad that it was demolished to make way for a housing estate
Yea that’s another great one. Australia has awesome tracks. So does America. Both countries have a bunch of hidden gems.
If you go to the article and look at the 3rd picture you can actually see what may be the 2014 Red Bull
Bathurst for sure but I’d like to see Winton,Queensland or Calder Park!!!
Hidden Valley or Phillip Island…
I could get into Phillip Island :)
Phillip Island is a MOTO GP circuit and would fair well in the game. If its two circuits in addition to The Mountain, I say Phillip Island and Adelaide but, we can’t rule out a Sydney course. More likely Homebush as its in the city, rather than Eastern Creek. You know what? Delete my comment. I’ll just wait. All this speculating is doing my head in. I was better off when I just waited for the ads on TV to tell me Gran Turismo is coming.
XR word cuz, this speculating mixed with a little imagination and I am off to the races!!!
Actually, Phillip Island was a rectangular road circuit in 1928 until 1935 then triangular until 1940. The track was not used again until 1956 and in 1960 to 1962 it was used for Australia’s first endure races.
Due to extensive damage to the track surface, the race was then held at Mt Panorama!
The track was non-operational until 1967 and was not a MOTOGP circuit until 1989! It is used for all types of racing still, though not the V8 Supercars AT THE MOMENT!!
Yet another knowledge bomb, proudly brought to you by S.E.Dawg Productions…..
Straight from the Scotteipedia!
It will more than likely be Bathurst. My other guess is Albert Park.
The photo above shows Albert Park, but it doesn’t mean the track will be in GT6! More favourable to the market would be the Gold Coast Indy Circuit!
YEEEAAAHHHH, I didn’t think of the GC. if they can replicate the bumpiness it would be awesome. But, Phillip Island has to be one. 270kmh into turn 1 with the view of the horizon, ships, birds flying by and time change/weather gets my vote.
Um, Homebush isn’t in the city…
If they add another track it would have to be something with International significance i.e. Adelaide, Albert Park or Phillip Island. A Sydney city course would be nice though!
Besides none of the other Australian tracks are special enough to be included anyway, there’s plenty of great international circuits I would like to see first
I will love Mt. Panorama but please no Melbourne.
Atleast I hope that they include de Redbull X1 5G, since it’s a LOT better to drive than the 1500hp X1
I’m guessing Mount Panorama and a course maker scenery.
What a second, another cover photo? Melbourne now?
3 tracks from Australia should be in:
Albert Park
Adelaide
Mount Panorama
Albert Park (Melbourne in general) can go for a long walk off a short jetty!
Red Bulls again?? Pleasee no.. It must be joke.
Hey, those things are fun! Try an offline race with the X2010 in GT5 sometime. It’s fantastic!
I know. Hopefully they won’t give them to everyone at some point. That would cut down on the stupid 10 year olds using them in lobbies.
If it is a joke, it’s not very funny!
Nah, if they want to add the Red Bull, let them, but only as DLC and it should cost $70 so only the true X1 drivers can get them and the little kids can’t!
I appreciate the effort put by PD on creating the Red Bull.
But I’m not amused that the X1 will still be a thorn in GT’s side. Hopefully we can deactivate that stupid fan thing now and lower the HP so it can feel close to a decent race car. I really want to enjoy the car, but honestly, this thing surpasses my abilities to the point were it’s not fun at all. I’m either too fast for other cars (group C’s and LMP’s), even taking the handicap to the maximum, or I get beaten mercilessly by A.I controlled X1’s.
Sorry guys but I am a great fan of the X1, however I don’t play online nor would that be my weapon of choice. The X1 something that challenges your reflexes and skills. If you are not a fan you don’t have to use but it would be a shame to take that option away
Sydney Opera House photo travel location anyone?
That is very likely IMO
Great call Stig Farm!!!! What more impressive of a back drop than this for photo mode. Although there could be a fantastic tight street circuit you could carve out of the streets near the Opera house around Circular Quay and the Rocks that would make peoples taste buds flip out.
Barbagallo please! Love that track.

Flagmo I am impressed, you even got the old SPIR in there and Morgan Park as well.
Small edit to previous comment. I’m assuming the second photo was meant to be Melbourne circuit?
Yes… But it’s only a photo, it does not mean the track will be in GT6! (sigh of relief maybe)
What if the second one is Adelaide Street Circuit? Like Mount Panorama, it also hosts the V8 series, and in addition, it used to host Australia’s Grand Prix.
Hooray, someone who remembers the Adelaide Gran Prix!
On new year’s eve, 2000, the old Adelaide GP circuit was re-opened for a LeMans style 24hr race at which I did security for 11 hours!
GT6 + Spec in 2014. lol……………………………………………….
Albert Park is posted merely to get an idea of what’s possible.
It was my choice, not anything ascertained from the article or elsewhere.
EDIT: It’s been fixed but the original point still stands.
Yes, that’s the hairpin from Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. I was wondering the same ” Why did he put this up?” What other cars and tracks are they planning to announce?
It would make sense to announce Mount Panorama some time around Oct-13, which is when the V8 Bathurst 1000K race is.
Australia has some great tracks. Darwin’s Hidden Valley would be a blast.
Why is there a picture of Montreal?
Why is the second picture a shot of the hairpin at Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal?
Oh hells yeah!
Why is there a picture of Circuit Gilles Villeneuve?
Imola?
Bathurst!
