If it was hypothetically added - or alternatively, if the Ascari Race Resort returned - I definitely could see there being rounds of the Historic Sports Car Masters, Hypercar Parade, and/or Neo-Classic Competition being available for it.
EDIT: It would unfortunately seem that upon further research, the Ascari Race Resort went defunct in 2010. I assume it got scanned before that, as GT6 - the sole game to feature it - was released three years after the venue became defunct. Perhaps this new course could replace it?

Who knows, if PD actually made this track and brought it to the game it'll at least be a street circuit or something. Or they maybe saving that kind of change again for Red Rock Valley....

The Magarigawa Club - Private new racetrack in Chiba - Japan 2023
"The 3.5km road course features a maximum ascent of 20%, maximum descent of 16%, and an 800-meter long straight, making it a track like no other. It is challenging but also designed for safety, letting drivers focus on the driving experience. They can take one-on-one lessons with professional...

That's neat. Maybe if we get it back, we can also get all three of the smaller layouts that make up the larger circuit.

What a fantastic looking place.
It's seems that the track layout would not be FIA approved. And all the better for it! No Tilke interference.
Shame GT7 tracks seem to have to have the stamp of approval. Sure some FIA rules but designers in what is a "game" should have freer reign. But no, the same old tracks appear across all games with the odd new one to learn.

I think that there was rather a lot of Tilke interference here, given that Tilke designed it...

It's an interesting circuit and would make a great addition. I wonder what the real likelyhood of it appearing in a future GT game would be. It would require both Kaz to be interested in adding it, and the resort agreeing. Perhaps someone will ask in an interview.

Rich people doing rich things.
But still it would be so cool to have this track in GT.

It would be a really interesting track and would fit very well into GT7 imo

It looks a bit unsafe to me - clearly designed for people with cars that are too expensive to crash.

The elevation changes look like a lot of fun. Not too sure about how the drive would flow. The racing line doesn't seem intuitive to me but then again I'm no pro. The video seemed to focus on the lifestyle associated with the location as a whole rather than the drive of the track. Is that normal for race track advertising?

It's not really a race track, more a playground for very, very wealthy car nuts.

I would much rather see Sugo in Gran Turismo, such a neat track. First saw it in Sega's F355 Challenge way back in the day.
Would also be cool to bring Motegi twin rings back, seems to me the high speed oval recieved major damage a few years back and is not repairable. The road course isn't as interesting as Sugo, imo.

If they're looking for a French or English speaking instructor for foreigners please tell them I'm available for the job during winter time here if they want to fly me over! 😂
I've seen some youtube in car vids already and the track looks fun and challenging.
It would be nice to have it in the game.

Uh, this is a real track so that’s not something that they would do

So Magarigawa Club is officially in a title already, as it appears (I'm 99.9% sure) that the facility owners are behind the Assetto Corsa mod, so it's not an official Kunos track, but it is an official version from the track itself (again 99.9% sure). Video for those interested.

The entire place looks gorgeous! It would be a dream come true to see the track in GT7 fidelity, complete with a full 24 hour cycle. It would be the closest thing we have to a Touge in the game, aesthetics wise.
Hopefully the folks at Magarigawa approach PD about a marketing deal between the two brands. I mean, if I were a billionaire who spends time on a Playstation regularly, I just might be tempted to spend a few days there after driving on the virtual version of Magarigawa and then seeing all the Scapes in the hotel
