Makes me wonder if that only happens in... Course Maker tracks? *Hint hint*

Call me crazy but I think I would prefer an event creation tool more than a track editor... Events add a bit more meaning to running tracks... Without them you just have tracks... And I'm not sure of the staying power of always running new tracks... Learning a new track isn't nearly as much fun as refining your skill on an existing track... To me anyway...

Its more like situations to experience as improving your racing is all about anticipation, not reaction. Nearly every conceivable situation on a racetrack is covered in the existing tracks, and even newer tracks copy older tracks.
I think this feature is more about exploration and simulating real road driving and the sensation we get from a spirited drive in the mountains or country road... And I guess that's ok but just not my cup of tea...

Before we get A.I. difficulty, I'm hoping the A.I. gets tweaked to be more difficult. 
By that, I mean adjust the code so that the field is more bunched up, the bots don't brake so hard and crawl so much through turns, and give up when you get a lead of more than half a second on them. I've had some great races over the past few weeks offline with just the bots in the i-A series, and the only problem with it are those three mentions. I want to tailgate bots through turns and can't resist it many times, only to get a nose bruise when they slam on the brakes at weird moments. And then at the end of the race, the field is so spread out that after a mere five laps, the difference between first place and last can be more than a minute. I really wish it was more like 15 seconds, as that can be an eternity in racing.
The code is still there for fast bots, because lead rabbits sometimes show up. I would prefer this fix to a difficulty, since we can already make the racing as difficult as we want by car and tuning choices, which is what I do. So for a 600PP race, let the kids tune up to 650 so they can punch out a win.
I love all that we've got in GT6, and part of that is the new tracks. Ascari has become my new home now.
I think the Event Maker might not appear until the online component is ready. If I was an online racer, I'd sure be throwing a fit if I could only use it offline to make races against those silly bots. And I suspect that a robust online structure is something they're working pretty hard on. I wouldn't be surprised if some sort of Livery Maker in concert with Race Mod aren't a part of it, at least with templates, because a big part of certain competing games is how wonderfully the gamers can create an online racing identity. I would think that with PD allowing us at some point to create and manage online clubs and leagues, this would be an essential part of that.

I want both.

Ascari was a tough track for me to get used but eventually the flow just hit me and it was absolutely fantastic. Both fast and slow cars flow really nicely on that track. A real gem.Before we get A.I. difficulty, I'm hoping the A.I. gets tweaked to be more difficult.

I'll also take both the track and event editor but as you know, my biggest gripe is lack of any real formalized structure and adding more meaning to why I play and providing more motivation and meaning to excel. The licenses and seasonal events are over faster than a demo :/

This. Wide, fast tracks are nice and all, but I prefer tight, skinny tracks with lots of corners like Ascari. We need more tracks like that.

Believe me, I know where you're coming from. Even though I haven't done everything yet, I really don't want to as it's the stuff that's not really serious racing. Arcade Mode is gimped, so I've been racing in some of the i-A events over and over with different cars, and thanks to Ridox's marvelous tune I tweaked a bit, I've had a lot of fun with the Audi R8 Team Phoenix race car.
But there are only so many cars that can be sensibly "race modded" to fit in with these events, and so many race cars appropriate to them. Plus, doing the same ten or so races over and over is going to lose its glamour at some point. So I'm hoping the Course Maker, Event Maker and seriously upgraded online structure appear sooner than later to keep me going. I'm more of an offline guy, but racing with serious like minded folk really is pure chewing satisfaction.

I've been intentionally playing in bite size amounts be cause the "end game" is approaching fast... Something that GT shouldn't have... Sure I can lap, but I don't want it to be the only option.

I think it definitely should be included at some point. Maybe when the Ayrton Senna stuff is ready to be launched.
In the meantime, I'm hoping that this new track is evidence of what Course Maker II is capable of. I know that Ronda is going to be one of the settings, so hopefully Zahara will be too. And it's looking like the wizards at PD are doing everything they can to squeeze a MASSIVE area into the game at once, so hopefully they can reach that goal of 50 x 50 km. That would rock SO hard.

If the online update (that oddly isn't being talked about much despite we are on the eve of its release) is robust enough and has decent enough regulation to promote series based racing, and is easy to jump into, I might even be tempted to go online more... But there is still the limitation in waiting for you're reliable buddies...
Stronger regs could make pickup online games a whole lot more enjoyable.

Yeah, Kaz said in an interview that there would be custom tracks made by PD using the course creator feature tool released before the actual tool is. It's meant to serve as a sample of what's possible.
So to the people saying that this is a course creator track, and those that are saying this is just a new track, you're both half wrong(or half right, if you're an optimist).
Can you post a link to that interview

Kaz will have one hour to speak, it better be a lot of info!
Anyone know what time Kaz is scheduled to give his presentation?
