Hey guys, you won't believe this, but there is actually a place called Motorsports Land in Japan. It exists just outside the Suzuka Circuit, resting beside the final corner, along with the accomodation and the infamous big wheel. Here's a link to the english Suzuka website if you don't believe me. you will have to scroll down a little to see it: www.suzukacircuit.com/amusement/motopia
 
That is not surprising ... But still it's interesting. Would love to go there one day.
 
Yeah but what I'm concerned about is that this track isn't in GT4? I had the lap record around that place in all catagories for one day once :p it's one of my favorite tracks
 
I loved driving the Mini and other small cars on that trackin GT2, Glad to see it return, Sorry it won't be for a few months yet!

Erm from what I've read it is in GT4 :) Personally I only raced on it once in GT2 :O I'll have to give it a go in GT4....
 
That track was a drifter's dream.

After the main straight, that medium left, hairpin left combo could be connected into one giant drift. You could do the same on the last two turns as well.

Man I loved that track.
 
I guess the only way to really figure it out would be to find a satellite photo of the track, or a full map of the grounds and everything on it. Normal track maps don't have it, since it's not part of the actual circuit.

It wouldn't surprise me if it was a real track, it's just a matter of hunting down exactly where it is. I remember reading somewhere a while ago that it's actually one of Skip Barber's tracks, but I haven't been able to verify it. So who knows? Find pics. :)

Yeah! it was a Beautiful thing : ) I spent ages trying to get the FR record in a Speed 12 but I couldn't beat my Cerbera LM time : / I had plenty of fun trying though boOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORT do we have a Speed 12 in GT4?
 
I loved driving the V8 vantage around motorsports land in GT2. 2 tonnes, 550 BHP, no TCS or ASM = No traction on what feels like a go-kart track. Damn it was fun.
