I dont know but im so bored with all the tracks that are in game so far.. the only thing that keeps me play this game is the seasonal updates, everything else feels boring even online i dont bother with. Wouldnt it be nice if they ported over some popular tracks from the older GT games? i mean how hard can it be and no it shouldnt be dlc like the new test track i find this very lame and not fair really. I can understand cars is dlc thats optional but tracks to give users more interest? it would only show they care for fans to keep the interesting going on.
 
Yes.

All tracks from GT4 would be nice.
 
Here we go AGAIN......


hahahahahaha internet, what a joke, hahahahahahaha
 
You know, I once thought: what if EVERY track from past GTs were in GT5 and given that touch of PS3 power? That even includes different versions of past GT courses. Think back to when Deep Forest actually was more like a forest (like in GT1 and GT2). Think about courses that never seen another GT (like Grindelwald, Rome-Night, or Green Forest Raceway). The tracks would need to be all prettied-up just to meet PS3 standards.

I am always thinking about what tracks would be like if they were given life on the PS3 in GT5. Considering NASCAR in GT5, I've always wondered what Red Rock Valley Speedway would be like if it was in GT5 and if NASCAR raced there. There are karts in Gran Turismo 5- why not put them around Motor Sport Land (GT2)? I would wonder how fast my Ferrari F2007 would be around the streets of New York City (GT4). Maybe I'm feeling crazy, but I would want to imagine how quickly any Red Bull X-whatever car would eviscerate Complex String, or how far into the air it would fly over the jumps of Seattle Circuit. I would wonder what racing the Peugeot 908 HDi FAP would be like on Special Stage Route 11 (either GT1 or GT3's version). I wonder what 12 cars around Rome Circuit be like, and I am NOT talking about GT5's Rome Circuit- I'm talking about the Rome Circuit from GT2 and GT3. And even sometimes... I wonder what Citta di Aria (which I hate racing) and Costa di Amalfi (which I ENJOY racing) would be like with PS3 power as well. Some of the endurances from GT4 would be more interesting with time changes if they were brought back into GT4. Assuming it's the late afternoon or early evening at Motegi Road Course, imagine that race going into the darkness of night.

I would very much vote in favor of bringing back past courses, including old favorites. I even wouldn't mind racing the Ricardo Tormo Circuit in GT5 from Tourist Trophy. These newer tracks could be spoiled with things like Time Chane and Weather Change. I'd be okay racing Apricot Hill in the rain or Laguna Seca going into darkness. I would even race Grand Valley for 1000 kilometers or 24 hours. Also, you have to account for the old off-road courses. NONE of the past GT off-road courses are in GT5. None of them (the newer Chamonix courses don't count)! That's a first for the series. I've missed tracks like Tahiti Circuit, Smokey Mountain, Tahiti Maze, and a track I know a lot of people would want to see return- Pikes Peak.

The possibilities are endless. Thing is, would PD let it happen; and which courses would be the best candidates for a return? Whatever the case, it would sure be interesting to see some old faces again.
 
All tracks from GT4 + Gymkana courses + Complex String. I would pay big bucks for that.

Port the track, with GT5 shaders + effects = win.
 
I always loved the narrow, winding street section in the middle of Citta di Aria. Felt so good when you could get the driving line just right and breeze through it smoothly. Of all the past GT tracks i'd like back for my own personal satisfaction, it would be that one :)
 
Kaz DEFINITELY knows we miss the classic tracks. It's a matter of time and manpower that keeps them from remaking more of them.
 
Port ? no
Remake ? yes
Part of the reason I want GT4 tracks on GT5 is to see htem with current gen graphics.

Yes, this is exactly what i want, no more copy and pasting from the PS2 generation.
 
We still might get them. Previous track logos have been discovered floating about on PDs server, so sayeth the mighty Yonis. He found them while working on his b-spec grinder, and the links to his findings are around here somewhere.

Never.
Lose.
Hope.
 
Only one can hope they bring them back
 
Seattle and the old Rome tracks please
 
All tracks from the franchise should be in this and future games. Kaz is aware we actually want the old tracks. It was either in a Tweet or an interview.

Galaxy Quest???

Yup.
 
Since karting is an actual reality in the game now, at the very least Motorsports Land from GT2 should come back.

AMEN. I'm with ya all the way on this one. Seattle Circuit was my favorite track in GT3. 40 laps on it with the FO94/H was just awesome. and I loved Smokey Mountain and complex string.

Haven't bought a DLC yet, might go for the last one but if PD made a DLC with some classic tracks like: Seattle, El Capitan, Costa Di Amalfi I'd run to the store for a Playstation card 👍

I am not informed very well about the SSR11. But i have seen some videos about that track and must say, that I'd like to see it in GT6 or the next DLC. Especially the PS1 version looks actually more interesting than the GT3 version.

Citta di Aria and Costa di Amalfi are beautiful tracks which should be definetly added in GT6 / next DLC.

Montegi west/east/road course should also be brought back. It is a cool track when driving in the early evening. But there is also a minus-point for this track. The background does feel a bit empty. So a few more details would be cool.

Even I don't like the New York city course, I still want it back. There were some moments I enjoyed it, even it was to much grey to me.

Seoul is a beginner track with more highspeed ability, so for the next Sunday Cup PD could put it in it.

El Capitan is one of my favourite tracks and I want it back.

I am not a big fan of rally, so I don't care about those courses.

But a very important feature to me would be a mission-editior. Create your own missions and share them with your friends. If you enjoyed the missions in GT4 then you might have the same opinion as I do.

This. Standard cars are acceptable, but a "standard" track on a high def screen, with a high def premium car driving round it, would just look ridiculous.
 
I imagine we will get two or three classic original tracks some time in the future. I'm expecting Apricot and Midfield.
 
I'd love the old track's back (SSR11, Apricot, Midfield, Red Rock, Seattle, New York all in HD, the list goes on and on) but don't think I'll get bored of what we do have any time soon. I don't get why they've dropped far over 15 track's and over 250 car's. The car's I understand, as it's all about licensing but most of the left out track's are PD's creation's.
