is the japanese motegi track the same as super speedway

[spike10h]

i was at the motegi site (www.twinring.jp)i think, any how it seems that twin ring is VERY similar to super speedway, anybody know something i dont?

 

[sejtur]

i see it's for motorbikes... For cars too, I think...

Well, i just don't know anything about it...

It is very similar to the twin ring track, so I would say it could be. Here in the US theres a track that looks just like super speedway as well.

Not Darlington right? It's got the same shape but certainly not the same size.

isnt this place called super speedway?

 

[ving]

there are lots of tracks that shape...

 

[HsV_CoUpE]

yes, but this track is almost identical to super speedway

Isn't the Motegi track where Honda does all their testing ? So it's Honda owned ? Just asking ...

yea there are a lot of tracks like that i think if it was that track the makers of gran turismo would have just named it motegi because they have other real tracks like laguna seca but they also have made up unrealistic ones like deep forest (which sucks) and super speedway seems like a made up name.

 

[spike10h]

well yes it is called motegi super speedway. go to the site i posted trevor.

We talked about all this over here as well.

I believe GT3's Super Speedway is the actual Motegi course in Japan. It makes the most sense.

Some interesting stuff:
- Twin Ring Motegi is the name of the complex of tracks.
Super Speedway is the name of the oval track.
- Super Speedway is a track in the Honda Type R Cup. Honda owns Motegi. Their museum is there.

I say it's real.

Yes, there was a thread quite a while ago with some proof or something. I think Loud linked to it.
