A different kind of track wishlist: Your LEAST favourites of all time

Well you can't blame the guy if he has to follow FIA safety guidelines that dominate any new tracks that are on the blueprints.

Run off areas and such fair enough, But most of how he redesigns a track is for the best car set up, It ruins the feeling, I don't want to be an expert at tuning a car I want to just enjoy the drive and not care how the car handles.
 
I really love London and Madrid since they offer somewhere to race less powerful cars. I also really love Cape Ring since although it's a little unrealistic (and looks kinda bizarre visually) it's so fun racing the outside loop, every corner is so enjoyable to drive around. Autumn Ring will always be one of my favourites too, I still have so much fun with it even since the GT1 days :)

As for tracks I don't want to see? Maybe a bit controversial but I really dislike Silverstone a lot, I'd much prefer Brands Hatch or Donington if they give us some UK tracks. Silverstone I'm just sick of racing in so many other games and there's nothing that I find fun about the course at all.

I also really dislike Sebring too. I can appreciate how awesome the final section of the track is (long straight into a really tricky corner) but the rest of the track is really unpleasant to race on in my opinion.

I also hope that they don't bring Motegi back since I really dislike that course too, and find it really boring to drive around. I guess on one hand it would be cool since it would help fill out a proper Super GT series in the game, but I just don't like the track really.
 
I would be sad, if any of the existing tracks would be left out in future versions of the game.
I like them all !!!
 
Grand Valley. It puts me to sleep... SSR7 as well.
 
I don't like superspeedways. Loops are boring. I'm fine with the road courses though. But those are a bit dull, since more than half is still the loop.
 
Spa. I could have just done races at Suzuka and saved my money on that turd :yuk:
 
Cape Ring - It has its moments, but I always get bored while driving it.
Autumn Ring - Pretty boring.
Top Gear Test Track - Yeah, it is special, but it isn't for racing.
 
I hate Grand Valley. It just annoys me. If I had to say why, then it's probably because it's unnecessarily long.

Yeah, well your opinion sucks. (just kidding) :sly:

I stated why I don't like the tracks, I said nothing about using overpowered cars at all.

Indy road course, I actually like. Not sure why, when the other, similar tracks, make me rage. I think it's because it's significantly wider and the corners feel like they're laid out with some thought and planning.

(1)Daytona is narrow, flat, and it seems they just took whatever roads were laying around and turned them into a "road course." It's a challenging and difficult course (despite not really having very many corners) but it's annoyingly so.

Sebring is the same. Played in Forza 3 and I hate it.(2) Large sections of the course take place on partially marked sections of parking lot. The last 180 degree right hander before the finish is a huge series of bumps that require you to go pointlessly slow to not wipe out on what should be a perfectly flat surface. And like Daytona, the different layouts and collection of roads that make up the course, cause parts to lead off into different directions with less markings than I would want. This isn't rally, when I race a track for the first time, I shouldn't need a co-driver. lol (it's not that bad though)

(3)And the Nürburgring(spelling corrected), I never said it was bad. In fact, it's an excellent collection of turns and straights that makes for amazing practice and training. Unfortunately, it's very narrow and winding with elevation changes, width changes, and bumps galore. This makes it bad (in my opinion) for an actual competitive race with a large number of drivers. Mostly, the guy in first (regardless of if he's actually the fastest of the pack, will pull away while everyone else gets stuck behind slow cars, must go slower for lack of track space, or gets caught in those ever-so-frequent 8 car wrecks.

Tsukuba is too small for most races. It's almost as boring as an oval. But again, drifting and other, less mainstream events are good on this track.

A bunch of other tracks, like Nurburgring GP, Suzuka, Fuji, and Cote D'azure, London, Rome (New), and most all "mini" circuits; I don't really like either, but I don't have any real complaints other than "I don't like them."

1)Daytona Road was added to the complex in 1962 and the roads in the infield are actually built around that not the other way around.

2) Sebring is actually built on an old military airfield, so those are not parking lots but runways, and taxi areas that you are running on. and there are 5 different layouts for the track.

3)Nürburgring, what can I say other than this is one of the oldest tracks still in existance and still in use, very technical track, and very demanding of any driver.

As for the others, they are some of the most popular tracks in real life (other than the city tracks) and I think people don't like them because they require your full attention all the time.
 
Tsukuba and Tokyo R246:yuck:
 
Tsukuba

Too short + no high speed corners = no fun
 
Maybe this should become a poll?

My most disliked tracks.

Tsukuba - over-used everywhere (online, A-spec, Seasonals)
London - narrow with very few places to pass
Indy & Daytona Speedway - Yawn
Top Gear Test Track - Hard to have a race with invisible walls, but Ok for testing
Nurburgring in public lobbies - If your not first your last. Great track love racing on it, but usually find my self doing the 4h enduro or the British Lightweights Seasonal. At least the AI is consistently stupid and easier to pass. People are too all over the road on that track.

The only ones I won't race online are the speedways and TGTT, but I'd rather not race the others unless I'm in a decent room with decent people.
 
Cape Ring, it looks horrible and is impossible to race online.
 
Hong Kong
Cape Ring
Autumn Ring
Trial Mountain
Deep Forest

almost any fantasy tracks, except, for some strange reason, I really enjoyed Midfield.

YMMV.
 
I do not like Madrid, London, Cape Ring, Tokyo 246,
hate to see race cars confined by walls:yuck:

London and Daytona Road Course.

2. Indy and Daytona Superspeedways (both tracks and the cars shouldn't be in the game. If I want to run Nascar, I'll load up the Nascar game which actually does it right, GT5 Nascar experience is a joke.)

Indy and Daytona are pinnicles in the US, like Silverstone in the UK, etc. etc.
Whereas the NASCAR experience is a joke, the NASCAR cars are not. I'm tired of driving arcade NASCARs on anything else that make it easy. Driving those games lead to the famous "left turn, left turn, left turn" mantra.

I like the actual Laguna Seca track, but the imitation in this game only has the same shape. It looks terrible...
Daytona Road Course has to be the worst track in the game... the road splits and goes off into a dead end with only small white lines to guide you.

Laguna Seca: It's actually fairly close, as a video game substitute. I'd like to see any of us do better. NFS doesn't do it better(I've played it).

Grand Valley. It puts me to sleep...

Huh, I'm surprised the "Grand Daddy" GT track is boring. Yes, they widened it, yes, they made it "easier". What about it makes you bored/put you to sleep?

To answer the OP: SSR7. I can appreciate additional "highway" courses, but not really just a straight line.
 
Tsukuba, SSR7 and TGTT are all totally overused and useless. I have major hate for both Fuji layouts, and I'm also sick of the Nurburgring, since I can't drive it fast.
 
London: Cool but it's way to short...
Tsukuba: PS's obsession with it made me hate it to death...
SSR7: Useless track...
New Rome: See London...

👎
 
I'd say Cape Ring, it was cool the first 20 or so times I drove it, but after that it was just a tire killer, which I realize is probably more user error than anything but it isn't very fun in anything more than a 3 lap race in my opinion.

SS7 should have been used for the Like The Wind event, that is practically the only use I see for it but PD didn't even do that, strangely enough it is still one of my favorite tracks when racing Nascar.
 
Fuji - Can't see the track
Daytona - Totally random road course + boring loop
TGTT - I like the show. But not the track
SSR7 - Spoiled by the corners in the highway. Would be better if it would be just a straight line to test cars.
 
Tsukuba, because it's used everywhere in GT5. Suzuka, because I'm simply bored of it. It's not GT5's fault, it's because I've raced it in so many games prior. Not entirely related because it's from GT4, but I hated George V Paris, because of its ridiculous right angle corners and suchlike.
 
London. It isn't good for a racing because it's cramped. It isn't good for drifting because of the tight and/or awkward corners. It isn't good for cruising because it's cramped and the roads a weird. It's barely acceptable for hotlapping but don't expect your car to be scratch free afterwards with all those damn walls. So yeah, London.
 
Wow, so much Cape Ring hate! I actually like the jump. :P

I don't like SSR7, Autumn Ring Mini, or Rome.
 
I've never been fond of Suzuka or Fuji. The just lack a certain flow to me. I like places like Spa, Daytona or Laguna where the track works together.

The new Rome circuit. Old Rome was much better, and as new Rome includes a fair part of old Rome, it annoys me that they didn't include it.

Eiger. Lovely scenery, don't enjoy driving it though.

Autumn Ring. Would rather have had Midfield or Apricot instead.

London. Narrow.

Curse you Dick Dastardly :grumpy: I love that track, lol, best track in the game for me (and alot of drifters).



Can't say that I can remember any race that I've enjoyed on Cape Ring, just something about it just makes it so terrible for me

That, and maybe Autum Ring, as well as Suzuka, but its a real track, so I can't hate on that, I just never really enjoy racing on the track, don't know why.
 
I really LIKE all the City-Tracks Rome Madrid and London. I understand your point that they are tight and that you easily pile up in the corners and scratch your car.
But exactly this makes the thrill for me, if raced together with cautious friends.
 
The only ones I dislike somewhat are Tsukuba and Grand Valley, all because of the enduro races on them. And Cape Ring (periphery, North,and Full) for the jump. All the variations would be better if they flattened it out somewhat.
