Test Track

[tw1sted]

Since I got gt5 I've been wondering why don't they made a test track like gt3(and gt4 I think) to record top speeds, 0-100km/h, 0-1000m etc? Don't you miss that 10km monster oval speedway?

That was simply the greatest place to test and even mess around if you felt the need to. Hopefully a surprise from Spec II will bring the the monster course?

Still can't believe they left out the easiest to model track. When you look at all the stuff they spent dev time on, like horns, gear, a retarded paint system etc, it's pretty unbelievable that no-one turned round and said "Hey Kaz, maybe someone should spend their lunch break making a test track".

It would actually add some point to having more NASCARs in the game if we had it.

This is my personal number 1 missing feature in GT5 by a long shot, every other main GT has it even GT PSP, I just hope Spec II or DLC course pack will bring it back or better it.

This way we could set up 500m, or 1,000m drag races. I wish.... I'm not sure why they would remove it? Silly move.

Test track with proper 1/8 and 1/4 mile drag strip would be sweet.

Of course i miss doing 20 laps mashing the X button the whole time, hurting my thumb, but how can they forget this track.

Dude, wtf. Special Stage Route 7.

Banking (like on an oval) can help a car hit a certain degree of turning without slowing down as much, but it doesn't allow your car to actually go any faster.

I actually found the test track boring and an odd choice for the "like the wind" event back in the former game. had more to do with top speed on the tranny than actual acceleration. I think I maxed out a yellow bird to win the event or something.

Not for me but I get why it's so popular. Given the inclusion of the Veyron it makes sense to include it.

What track is your avatar pic of tower turn?

Sebring Int.

Yeah, def It would be the easiest track to build. I miss it not to race it, but to time 0-400m acceleration of my cars. I personally never use that stupid stage route 69 or wtvr. It's not the same, it's useless. I think that most users would change stage route 7 for the Original GT test track.
