I've walked most of the Madrid track and stayed in a hotel that borders one part and also walked the New York(Times Square) track that was in a former GT game.

Any of you have intimate knowledge of stores/parks/shops/bldgs etc. on any of these city tracks?
 
Been round the monaco gp circuit in a ferrari f430 whilst on holiday there. 50 euros well spent
 
Ah yes, London. I forgot about that because I always saw it as a small city loop. Visited a museum that was right near the track.
 
I have been to Picadilly Circus and along Haymarket to Trafalgar Square. I have also spent a lot of time in Rome, in and around the Forum (I am an Architect... so this is a basic requirement). The circuit around the Colosseum and by the Circus Maximus have such great detail. And, maybe it is just me, but the quality of light seems different. The light seems particularly Italian there...
And the model of the Victor Emmanuel II Monument is just stunning.

So, to answer your question, yes. I have been to some of these places. Not Madrid. And I do really enjoy racing in those places in GT5.
I think Cote d'Azur is now on my wishlist...
 
I was in Monaco (Cote d'Azur) the whole last week, it was pretty cool to walk/drive most of the track. :)

From GT5 Rome and Madrid, from GT4 Opera Paris and George V ( Shame they aren't in GT5)..

All of them appear quite realistic to me and manage to catch some of the "feel" of the city streets.
 
I live in Vegas and work on the strip so I drive down the quarter mile track from GT4 6 nights a week. Still can't get faster than a few minutes with the usual insane traffic and even more insane taxi cabs.

But every once in a while when I leave work particularly late, maybe 3 AM. When at the light crossing Flamingo road on Vegas Blvd. (where the quarter mile starts) I catch a clear through with no traffic and let it rip off the line to see if I can relive some of that old school flair of my better teenage years sat down in front of my PS2 trying to do the same in my tuned R34.

I'm always looking around the strip for awesome track configurations. I think they missed out on doing an awesome city course here. We have so many weird roads that intersect from all over the place and little tunnels that shoot under casinos and such. Too much possibility in this place.
 
been to the london track ;) dont live far from there
new york from GT4
have also been Madrid but that was before i new of the track
 
I remember seeing the trailer with shots of Rome and saying holy s*** I've been there! I've pretty much walked all of the Rome and Spain circuits.
 
I've also been to Seattle. In fact, I think I've driven roughly where the Seattle circuit went. I say "roughly" because I don't know how closely the circuit in the game mimics the real life streets, but I know the circuit in the game goes near the stadium, as I have, takes the Alaskan Way next to the Alaskan Way Viaduct, as I have, and snakes through the downtown highrises, where I also have.
 
I've been to the Palace theatre in London's Shaftesbury Avenue which shows up well on replay......nothing cultural mind you,Monty Python's Spamalot!:)
 
I've walked most of the london circuit and a part of the Rome circuit. In fact you can see the little metro station entrance on the left just before the colusseum!
 
I went on a date to see the Chunichi Dragons beat the Tokyo Swallows at Jingu Stadium which is on the left after the second corner of R246 and I walked round the curve to get there. Also walked parts of the London track.
