Here's a First Look at GT Sport's New Sardegna Road Circuit

[Lukanyon]

I misread Sardegna and I thought it was Sierra

 

[MIE1992]

I absolutely called it. Sardegna is one of the remaining original areas that didn't have additional layouts yet, like we've seen with Dragon Trail. After this update, the only ones remaining should be Alsace and Colorado Springs. (That said, I wonder if we could see updates that bring additional layout to the real-world circuits? Like the older versions of Monza and Brands Hatch, or even Le Mans, Fuji, and Interlagos? Not so much more recent "older" layouts, perhaps such as the 2005 version of Le Mans seen in Gran Turismo 4, but layouts that are old enough insofar to have remarkable differences, such as the 1973 version of Interlagos.)

Rally Cross?

 

[CodeRedR51]

All these tracks tend to have wide and large terrains...I get bored of.

I miss narrow roads and narrow trees dangling in the Forests, sun beams and mountainous walls.

New Original Circuits will never be as good as the Classic Originals like Trial Mountain & Deep Forest.

Yep.

Im delighted with some new tarmac to master, looks much better than goodwood layout wise will have more longevity for sure... Be nice to boot up GT again its been gathering dust this year...

 

[KepleroGT]

My Sardinian friends will be very happy to see this

 

[BallPtPenTheif]

Are any of these Sardegna layouts vaguely inspired by any regional real world road courses? Anybody recognize anything?

 

[RandomCarGuy17]

Eh, I'm willing to give them a try. I would've preferred the return of an older track, but I won't turn it away.

That's weird - are they manufacturer sponsored KTM X-bows?

I'm not super familiar with the FIA Live Event format, so maybe this is something they've done before... but it does strike me as odd.

 

[stpatty]

Qualifying? Manufacturers? In a KTM?

Amen. I think the hardware can't handle this kind of "tunnel" track, so see you on PS5

By the way, Sainte-Croix in Sardaigne.

 

[SSQES]

The KTM we see is not the GT4 one, but the R already in game. And KTM is not part of the 12 Manufacturers in the picture, it's weird for them to qualify in this car

Wah Wah no Spa, no Silverstone, no classic PD tracks WAH WAH. People in this community will find anything to moan about.

Hopefully i can tell i'm racing in Sardegna other than by only the name. The dirttracks could be anywhere in the med.

Makes sense to recycle an already existing location & use it again for some new tracks. Saves them time in having to create a venue from scratch. That said, I've never been much of a fan of the fantasy circuits in previous titles in the GT series, & haven't liked any of the new ones in GT Sport so far.

I like GT fantasy tracks, but not a single one in GTS.

Deep Forset was such a good track.

You could find areas in Sardegna that look like in the game, as you could all over Italy, but nothing screams Sardegna to me.

It's normal.

 

[DK]

Looks like they took Catalunya and rotated it 90 degrees. Then they added a nugget like Goodwood for a bonus.

Looks more like the Autodromo Algarve if you ask me.

 

[LancerEvo7]

I'll pass judgement until I actually drive the track, but it looks less garbage than most of the prior original circuits, at least.

Blasphemy!

Looks like an actual circuit which I can get behind.

The breakdown of locations of original track in the game so far (I was just curious),

2nd in Italy (+Maggiore)

2 in France (St Croix and Alsace).

2 in Japan (Miyabi/Yamagiwa and Broad Bean)

1 in Croatia (Dragon)

Technically 3 in the USA (SSRX, Blue Moon Bay and Northern Isle)

What is the yellow car in the top right of the picture in the background?

 

[MatskiMonk]

What is the yellow car in the top right of the picture in the background?

SCG003 from Glickenhaus, and no, it's not coming to the game.

 

[05XR8]

What is the yellow car in the top right of the picture in the background?

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus

 

[MisterWaffles]

Don’t get too excited. It’s just a real life picture at the Nürburgring.

 

[I-Runner]

There's probably more than 4 cars

I hope so ... 👍

Layout B is a great circuit to be honest. Last sector is fantastic as it's fairly unique. Its anti clockwise aswell for those interested.

Nice! By the way, is there rain for this track?

No idea we don't see any of that

 

[RZQSPEED]

That's weird - are they manufacturer sponsored KTM X-bows?

They used the X-BOW to level out the playing field, so every manufacturer could qualify as equally as possible before their drivers hop onto their respective cars.
