Hey I'm new here and just completed my first 2 tracks.
One is a real racing track and the other is a track created from my neighborhood streets.
1st Track
Autodromo de Tarumã (1.92 Miles)
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/friend/SchroderNJ/course/2072852/
Tarumã is a real track in Southern Brasil and is know for being the fasted track in Brazil.
Circuit History
The Autódromo Internacional de Tarumã is Brazil's fastest track, boasting fast and sweeping turns which have tested man and machine for more than 40 years.
Located at Viamão, near Porto Alegre, the circuit is owned and operated by the Automobile Club of Rio Grande do Sul, making it one of the few privately-owned facilities in Brazil. As such it has to generate its income solely from the events it puts on.
The club itself has a long history, organizing street races in the area as far back as 1949. By the late 1960s, the club was looking for a permanent facility and settled on a plot of land on the eastern fringes of the city. Construction was completed in late 1970, with the inaugural race taking place on November 8, won by Jayme Silva on board an Alfa Fúria GT.
Over the years, Brazil's major championships all paid visits to Tarumã, which was popular with drivers due to its challenging layout. The fast Turn One has little room for error, as the track entrance tunnel passes underneath, limiting room for run-off. Turn 8 "Curva Tala Larga" is very challenging and turn nine is also ultra-fast, requiring immense commitment to get the fastest time.
GT6 Track Editor Note:
The hairpin curve had to be slightly widened because the editor wouldn't allow the two sides of the track to be so close together.

2nd Track
Lake Hiawatha NJ Street Track (3.87 Miles)
https://www.gran-turismo.com/us/gt6/user/#!/friend/SchroderNJ/course/2065456/
This track is a 3.87 Mile track that takes us around Lake Hiawatha New Jersey. Its a pretty fast track with some nice turns and this path really exists.
It starts on Lake Shore Drive...where it makes a left turn going thru the town pool parking lot (the actual turn is to sharp for the editor, so I used the parking lot of the pool to make the turn) putting you on river road. Soon there is a quick left/right turn and you continue on River road through a few more turns and quickly through Roanoke Ave before getting on the towns main road, North beverwyck Road. There you accelerate to get to Knoll Road which is a fast part of the track. You turn back onto Lake Shore Drive and now you are on the home stretch with a couple of quick turns. I really enjoy this track. Look at google earth/map to drive thru the real thing.
