Deep Forest Speedway for sure and Fuji Speedway. To me, Deep Forest gets a wee bit too technical in the middle of the course for me, where one mistake can throw off your whole lap, in addition to there being a very small line between hitting that rock formation at the start of the back straight and speeding by without so much as a glance. I hate Fuji because that Toyota Yaris Event in A-Spec grinded my gears lol...:grumpy:
 
I have to disagree with all of the OP's tracks. I like them all. :) I actually use the GP as my test course.

The one that I really can't stand is Rome. To me it's just too boring.

Also, Tsukuba and Cape Ring aren't ones that I enjoy too much. Tsukuba is ok in the Supercar challenge. But with slow cars like a Miata, :ouch: Cape Ring would be ok if it didn't have that ring. What the heck is that?

EDIT: Forgot about SSR7. Like the poster above, I never once loaded this track up. Seems like a waste of time to me.
 
Really... many track in this GT..

The new Rome (wtf did they do to the old one!! :( ), London, Fuji - all of them (still the worst track ever), Cape Ring, Indy oval and Daytona oval. Also, all of the track editor tracks are horrible, every single one of them - horrible.

Nurburgring. Nordschliefe, Type V, and the 24h versions. I hate them all.

Who are you to be hating on the ring D:

anyway, I completely HATE Autumn Ring mini. The full Autumn Ring isn't too bad, but Autumn Ring Mini is absolutely ridiculous and pointless and small and boring and slow.
 
Only Track I hate is:
Fuji !!!

The last sector espacially !!
Only created for the F1 not to get a certain Lap-Time -_-
But I did love the ´80 and ´90 Layout from GT3 and GT4.

La sarthe is nice for me but I do mess up in the Last sectors.
 
Can't say there is a track I won't race on but there are a couple I don't care much for.

Fuji - I used to love its speed and simplicity before Tilke went in and butchered it.
Cape Ring - Visually not interesting and the loop section is something out of an arcade game. Also grew a distaste for it after the controversy with the track in GT Academy.

Top Gear Test Track - Definitely not suited for serious racing but when it's for fun, it's quite amusing.

London - It looks good visually but it's quite short and the layout isn't very interesting.
 
Toscana Tarmac needs to die in a fire. Such a bland ugly track, pair that track with a near undriveable Murcielago in the Grand Tour special events and you have hell >.>
 
Cape Ring, it's a lovely location to snap some shots at, but the full version is so endlessly boring.
 
Am i the only one that likes Cape Ring? I find that track pretty fun. The only tracks i can't stand are Nürburgring Nordschleife and Nürburgring Nordschleife 24h (Too long and annoying). I actually like the GP layout and i don't mind the Type V layout.
 
anything with stupid jumps just destroys any realism for me and reminds me of the start of 2fast 2furious LOL
 
Ovals, Rome, Madrid, Cape Ring, and Circuit de la Sarthe. Generally, I hate tracks that are either too boring or way over complicated and busy.
 
I like all of them really. Can't see how anybody would hate the Nurburgring tracks! Nurburgring 24hr is probably my favourite track in the game as it has basically everything you could want.

I think its kinda pathetic people hating a track because of a chicane, clipping a wall, being too technical or undulating however... just shows them up as not really being that good at driving really.


If I just did races and didn't do so much drifting I could see myself not liking a few tracks alright though.

If I had to pick one, it would probably be SSR7 as its abit pointless really.
Top gear is kinda crap too as most online races on it are either people crashing into you or cones everywhere, would have had so much potential if PD made much more use of it in the game rather than mildly amusing special events as well as making the invisible barriers a little less intrusive and more room to explore the area.



Really would like some of the older tracks in the series back though!

Apricot hill, SSR11, Grindelwald, New-York wasn't too bad and at least could look good visually in GT5, Seattle, Paris, Rome, the little tracks in the special events in GT4, some of the older rally courses like Tahiti maze etc
 
With online racing, i cannot stand TGTT. The driving line is not well defined so there is really no clean passing zones. And of course if you run too many laps there is the overlap issue. If people vote for it in my lobby i start the race immediately and take a break.

I can see why the OP doesnt like Fuji. Its a difficult track to learn because the fastest line takes you through the middle of the track where there arent really any brake markers. I enjoy it in fast cars that have lots of downforce but its not much fun in street cars.
 
Meh, I haven't hated any tracks for many years now. Way back, I used to hate Suzuka, then I figured it out and now it's one of my favourites. Same goes for any track in any game, really, when I was younger. Other tracks I used to hate: Infineon, that town rally circuit in GT4 that wasn't Citta di Aria, end of list.

Then when the whole 'how to drive a car' thing clicked, I found that I didn't hate anything, and still don't now.

I agree with ya. Love cape ring. Don't like the jumps though. And how can anybody say that this track is not visually nice? Suzuka, Tsukuba, Madrid, Indy, daytona all look worse than this track. Just mho.

For me I absolutely HATE, with a passion, Fuji Speedway (all versions), Madrid and Nurburgring GP.

I never cared for Fuji, but I can't quite place my finger on why that is.

Top Gear Test Track. Great for free running, horrible for racing.

I have to agree here.

The fantasy tracks in the Forza series.

That was just a shameless dig at a rival series for the sake of attacking a rival series. Being that this is specifically in the GT5 board, it would go without saying that this was about tracks from GT5. Forza's tracks are generally great, however, except for the whole Sidewinder course which is really just a big test track and the..., I forget what they called them but it's just a parking lot that gets arranged into simple courses..., and that's also just another test track.

Given the choice between Forza's fictional Sunset Peninsula road course, the real-world Indy road course, and the real-world Daytona road course, I'd probably take Forza's Sunset Peninsula. Given the choice between GT5's fictional tracks and Forza's, I'd probably take Forza's. The only people that really voice hatred for Forza's tracks are just GT fanboys that won't accept anything that Forza would ever do.

Monaco - or Cote D'Azur which ever you wanna call it. Hate it with a passion, and always have done

It's the course on which I struggle the most, though I've improved. I still need a bit of work, though.

That's like saying that I'm not good at Social Studies in school because I don't like it. My point is that you don't necessarily suck at something just because you don't like it.
 
There is no track that I hate so much that I'd rather resort to redecorating my walls with pieces of my brain.

Come to think of it, there's no track in GT5 that I actually hate. I dislike a few but that's just because I'm not that good at them. :p
 
I dislike Sarthe, Cape Ring Full, SSR7, TGTT, HSR and the Ovals...
I'm surprised so many people hate Fuji and can't give a reasonable explanation why, the track has great variety of turns, or are people sick of it from Prologue??
