How many more tracks does GT Sport need?

One year of updates, so five more, is enough for me. New Alsace layout, one classic GT track, Spa, Laguna Seca and whatever they want.

But I'm sure a lot of people who are harder to please will demand the same number of tracks as the competition or previous GT.
 
Here are my picks for returning real-world circuits:
-Fuji Speedway (I'd add this for the Gr.2 event)
-Spa-Francorchamps (could be another Gr.1 Endurance event, IMO)
-Laguna Seca (could be ideal for another Gr.3 Endurance)
-Twin Ring Motegi
-Daytona (the infield course could be good for another Gr.3 Endurance, or Gr.1.)
-Indianapolis
-Monaco GP/Cote d'Azur (would be good for the F1500 event, or one of the Red Bull X-racer events)
-Silverstone (see Spa comments)
-Goodwood Hillclimb
-Red Bull Ring
-Sonoma Raceway (previously known as Infineon, and before that, Sears Point)
-Circuit de Valencia
-Ascari Race Resort

And here are my picks for returning original circuits:
-Matterhorn
-Eiger Norwand
-Deep Forest
-Trial Mountain
-Grand Valley
-Tokyo R246
-Rome
-New York City
-Seattle
-Toscana
-Apricot Hill
-Cape Ring
-El Capitan
-Grand Canyon
-Swiss Alps
-Tahiti Maze
-Complex String
-Sierra Circuit

I'm not a massive fan of Madrid nor London, personally, but for the sake of them being new (i.e. easier to spruce-up) and being interesting street circuits, I wouldn't mind them returning. I think they'd especially be good for races that use cars with lower horsepower, maybe Gr.4 at most. I'm also unsure about Midfield, since it seems a lot like Kyoto Miyabi and/or Dragon Trail Seaside are both pretty similar to Midfield in some ways. I'm also not sure about the really narrow courses from GT4 that were mostly for rallying (e.g. George V Paris), as much as I like them by themselves - I think they'd be far better as time attack courses like the Goodwood Hillclimb, and not as actual racing courses. And I have a feeling Opera Paris and Hong Kong would be really bad passing courses - like, they'd be the courses where the real winner is determined in the qualifying.

I'd also like to see the scapes from GT4/5/6 to eventually return, as well - I know that some have been remade in Sport already. I really wanna see Ronda again, for example, or Times Square.
 
How many tracks does it need? I don't know, it's difficult to please everybody's musical taste. I like pop music but I think they could add some alternative rock, electronic, maybe some R&B tracks as well. :p
 
With Le Mans, we'll have 20 locations and 59 variations.
This still doesn't feel enough for me - particularly in Sport mode in which I still feel that I'm on the same track over and over again!

You asked about need - so I've taken this is to mean until GT Sport feels finished. Maybe another 6 - 10 locations adding 16+ variations.

Obviously, I want far, far more than this!
 
I would say at least 5/6 More:

-Spa
-Silverstone
- Laguna Seca
- COTA
- Fuji
- Motegi

Obviously The More tracks The better for The game
 
If I'm being realistic I'd say about 5 or so real world circuits would do the trick for me. I expect PDI to remaster circuits from past games with the highest pedigree in motorsport and existing laser scanned data.

Looking into my crystal ball I see...
- Spa: Seems certain given it's the most wanted track by the community (certainly unites us all eh?). Inevitable as night after day. July DLC - you heard it here first!
- Silverstone: A circuit made for eSports. Fast, flowy and wide enough for nice clean racing. Great fun with the Le Mans prototypes too. The home of British Motor Racing. Still amazed Brands Hatch made the cut over this.
- Fuji Speedway: You can't have Suzuka without Fuji right? Those Gr.2 cars need their natural playground. That Super GT event in GT League looks is an embarrassment with only 1 circuit from the calendar featured. PDI being a Japanese developer makes a future inclusion seem highly likely.
- Laguna Seca: Series icon. Gran Turismo did for this circuit what it did for JDMs back in the 90s. Great circuit for the lower N class vehicles as well. Ties in nicely with Pebble Beach given it's only a short drive away.
- Goodwood: My wildcard choice. How it would be featured I couldn't say. Can't see it being featured in GT League but it's a great showcase event for time poor players to test drive rare exotics (I'm looking at you Miura!). No way on earth I have the time to grind 15,000,000 credits. It's daily workout or bust!

The problem with real world circuits I find is that they're naturally suited for high speed competition racers than they are for production vehicles (I'm thinking N100 to N300 here). Given the eSports focus of GTS I doubt we'll be seeing any more road or city circuits which is a real shame. Road and street circuits are a natural fit for the slower classes because of their tight and twisty nature. Racing hot hatches around Rome's street circuit sounds far more appealing to me than driving at Monza for example. It's great adding all this new DLC but if there's limited environments to enjoy these slower cars then what's the point in adding them? It's my biggest complaint with GTS. A fantastic competition racer but a poor Gran Turismo game if you love a good campaign with a varied track selection.

I also find circuit racing just doesn't quite pack the visual punch when compared with a track like Matterhorn or Rome lets say. One of the reasons why I loved DriveClub so much (sniff, you were too good for this world!).
 
It needs a lot more tracks.
By the time I remove the tracks I simply won’t touch (any of the Tokyo wall-slamming SR disasters) or dislike (Tsukuba (pretty dull), Nurburgring (too narrow to be a real RACE track) the number of tracks is very few.
The main thing that pushes me to quit for a while is boredom with the limited tracks.
Anyone who has played Project Cars will probably agree that the track selection on GTS is terribly thin.
 
Every track featured in a prior GT game! Hire some more people and update that stuff. Actually I don't mind at all if the original circuits look retro. Add a separate daily retro event in the weekends and perhaps that will even be playable in VR in sport mode :)

Blasphemy! I like Tokyo as well (not the central one, East instead). Tsukaba is kinda dull. However I don't like tracks that are too wide with questionable track limits like Lago Maggiore and Alsace.

I assume that includes 3 rally tracks that dont really get used? Throw in Tokyo and a coupe ovals and thats a half dozen tracks that are more or less useless or race at your own risk in sport mode, exactly what this game is based on.
Contrary to what most others think I think that PD should bring back some of the GT originals, Deep Forest, Grand Valley, Trial Mountain, SSR11, etc..
 
ALL THE TRACKS! But on a more serious note, I would like to see some more real tracks that differ from what we already have. I know there a quite a few tracks with some different layouts and some even go the other way, but that gets quite repetitive. Fuji and Sonoma come to mind for tracks that I would like to see return. Obviously more Grade 1 FIA tracks but those will eventually come. I don't mind fictional tracks but I would like to drive real tracks that exist so maybe a return to Trial Mountain would be a good one to mix things up a bit. Some tracks new to the series like Road Atlanta and Zolder would be nice as well. Any track can work just to mix things up a bit.
 
Other than Spa which has always been my favourite, I'm itching to try the new cars on Trial Mountain, GVS and Deep Forest. The nostalgia is strong with those tracks. They're conspicuous in their absence.

More are always welcome, but I think we have a good amount by now and I'd rather see the following features:

  • Wet weather races
  • Multi-class races
  • Physics improvements (tires, brakes, TCS)
  • Car damage

You need a PS5 for any and all of those features
 
If they add more tracks, we need more daily races than 3. As it stands now, some tracks only pop up 2-4 times a month (like Nordschleiefe / 24H)

Adding more tracks will only make this worse.

I just don't know if the community is big enough to have more than 3 daily races? I would hope so.
 
I would like more new tracks, many in fact in an ideal world, but more than that I'd want more daily race options, 3 is not enough and the FIA ones are obviously not as convenient for some people. It's easy to forget the game already has some superb tracks, some real, some fantasy but it's easy to lose sight of that when you get a choice of only 3 each day.


And one of them is an often rather boring One Make Sunday driver...
