thats true, but it may be recent, i looked on the site a few weeks ago and there was nothing on this.If you go straight to PD's site, looks like they're hiring a whole new team.
My mind is coming up with all kinds of theories, but we will see. EDIT: Or it could just be listing the current staff.
It's definitely recent, they outright say the photo at https://www.polyphony.co.jp/recruit/ was from last Friday.thats true, but it may be recent, i looked on the site a few weeks ago and there was nothing on this.
Hermann Tilke, some racing fans really don't like him. Not just for this track, but for basically every other track he designed or redesigned.

Which makes me remember this video.
Don't forget Turkey, and Austin, TX (COTA). Both fantastic tracks.He created one of the most interesting tracks Sepang International Cirquit in Malaysia!!!
Of course not but Sepang for me is one of his top creation!! I am big fan also COTA and Marina Bay!!!Don't forget Turkey, and Austin, TX (COTA). Both fantastic tracks.
Still, a lot of his tracks are rubbish... like Abu Dhabi.
Nah. Despite what fans say, this franchise has consistently performed well on a sales level to continually warrant existing (That and with Kaz's position at Sony itself, it'd actually take something seriously dramatic for that to happen with what was effectively one of Sony's first development studios for the Playstation). Alot of the crew from the first game are STILL there.Hope they didn't get Turn10'd...
I wouldn't be surprised if some of those Forza developers that recently got laid off end up going to Gran Turismo actually.Hope they didn't get Turn10'd...
I'd be much happier with a different classic track (Apricot Hill, Midfield, Autumn Ring, Grand Canyon, Tahiti Maze, to name a few). Other than the nostalgia associated with Red Rock Valley, it's really not all that interesting as a track layout IMHO.Every single time Red Rock Valley gets brought back to the table, hopium levels get extremely high around here.
That, and... isn't it illegal in Japan to lay off people unless you're in extremely dire straits, anyway?Nah.

That would indeed be interesting, but it also seems unlikely, especially when you consider what they did with Eiger (i.e only the shortest layout was brought to the game).It could be made quite versatile if they wanted, for oval racing in particular.
Here's a quick edit I made a while ago that shows a rough idea of what a couple new roads could do. Elevation change would probably be a bit different to achieve this though:

I'm always surprised by how much nostalgia people have for it, myself.I'd be much happier with a different classic track (Apricot Hill, Midfield, Autumn Ring, Grand Canyon, Tahiti Maze, to name a few).

Assuming my Japanese was a bit rusty or… non existent.
Are you by chance the same guy who created a mock-layout of Tokyo R246? It looks extremely sensible, with an oval around theIt could be made quite versatile if they wanted, for oval racing in particular.

No that wouldn't have been me, but those do sound like neat ideas.Are you by chance the same guy who created a mock-layout of Tokyo R246? It looks extremely sensible, with an oval around theStadiumrubber baseball field (https://maps.app.goo.gl/bJPE9DV4N3XUcmdu6) a short version which cuts through the park (West), another short version which is complimentary to the first Short (East) and the overall? I remember I saw it around here and thought it was great, but can't seem to find it any more
