Something exotic... like a race around and into a tropical island with strong rains from time to time. I have fond memories of NFS 2 deluxe tracks (with 3DFX).
 
Brighton for sure, theres some great city roads around here that would be great in Gran Turismo. Il try talk through a potential lap:

Start line, Brighton pier on the seafront, heading west on the seafront, around 0.2 miles before a 90 degree right hander onto a wide 2 lane uphill blast across a junction past the clock tower (levels slightly, little jump to unsettle the cars) for about 0.3/4 miles, the a very fast but quite tight 45 degree right hander across the road and onto a narrow downhill, goes from 2 lanes to 1 down a tight street, 0.2 miles, 90 degree left at the bottom onto a 3 lane section wchi loops arond the old steine park back towards the coast (0.5 miles), taking a long left hander up a big hill 2 lanes wide with the Amex bulding on the left, road narrow down to a normal 2 way street and goes horribly off camber for 0.7 miles before a tight left hand 90 degree bend and onto a mini roundabout goign right on the 3rd exit and up a short hill (0.2 miles). Right at the top off the hill and dropping downa slip road towards the marina, fast 2 lane right hander going down which sweeps into a left hander under a tunnel before flying across 2 of the lanes and flying up the exit eoad back onto the coast road for 0.1 miles, the a shapr left right chicane onto a sliproad down to the promenade (where the famous brighton speed trials are held) flat out for 0.8 miles couple of nasty bumps and 2 bollard chicanes and back to the Brighton Pier.
 
Mumbai...extreme level events got nothing on this...not even the Sebastian Vettel challenge.
 
Great thread! Not read everyone's suggestions yet but (not all cities per se but locations)

Prague
New York
Las Vegas
San Fran
Barcelona
UK Villages (maybe Cotswolds?)
Scottish Highlands

I could think of so many more! [dreams about possible track editor in GT6] ;)
 
WASHINGTON DC !! There's actually a Indy track that use to be on the parking lot of RFK Stadium. But people didn't want to hear race cars in the neighbor hood. It was oncw quoted to be the hardest grand prix track to learn. 1st turn is a bitch.

Miami! No one cared about since GTA Vice City.
And what happened to Seattle and Paris? I loved the jumps at Seattle, used to go in the Shelby GT350 going on the jumps (pretending it was McQueens 68' Fastback Mustang, closest thing to it in GT4, lol).
 
SEATTLE :(

Detroit would be cool because I'm familiar with it, but I don't really think it's all that conducive to racing...still it'd be cool to come down Woodward and then turn to run parallel to the river down by the park.

Pittsburgh might be interesting as well.
 
Boston.

I would love to drive full throttle across the Zakim bridge.

Absolutely. The route would be a little tricky, but it would be really cool to tear up Memorial Drive from Harvard to 93, and then back out west via Storrow.

Include the changing weather function, and it could go from sunny to snowing over the course of a 10 lap race.
 
NYC would be awesome, especially if they use the south end and running across the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge(double decker fun), up the Bowery then cut across Houston St to the FDR then shoot up to 96th then it's a street jaunt east to west cutting through Central Park then a little bit of finagling to the West Side Highway going south either cutting across on Canal then up Broadway, or tearing all the way down to Chambers to hit the Brooklyn bridge. Manhattan is a race city waiting to be exploited in a video game.

There is Hong Kong, just like the one from GT4 and Seoul that was one beautiful course, sorely missed. I've also thought about Sydney, that might be pretty sweet to have that city included.
 
Dublin, Ireland. Was going to be an a1gp circuit before a1gp collapsed. Pau, France. A Fprmula 3 circuit.
I'd agree on Vancouver, Macau and Durban.
 
Sydney would be pretty cool. You could do a loop over the harbour Bridge past the Opera House, then through the city and back around over Anzac Bridge. Most of you will have no idea what Im talking about, but it would look amazing

I think of TDU. 👍
 
If they had something like GT4's Amalfi Coast track that would be nice too. Eiger is somewhat as scenic but I'm thinking something by the water. Monaco is scenic as well, but has been seen over and over again.
 
No love for New Orleans? They have some nice streets in the French Quarter. :)

I would like Los Angeles as well. I thinkn there is alot of familiar places people would recognize.

@GTOne2Three,

How long is that?
 
None! I think the city tracks are relatively poor in comparison to real-world tracks. Although I do prefer most city tracks over most of the pure fantasy ones in the game.
 
Seattle Circuit. I can live without New York
 
Berlin. It would be awesome to race thru the Brandenburg Tor and then up/down Kurfurstendamm Strasse.
 
Takumi inspired me to do my own Chicago track

Chicago.jpg


13.1 miles

Would be better if you exited off LSD onto lower wacker. Driving under ground while going fast is a blast, and dangerous. Take lower wacker to the end, exit 290' then jump back north on 90/94.

@GTOne2Three,

I think about 50.9 miles
 
Copacabana
Red Square
Chicago with traffic
Las Vegas
Mexico city
Prague
Bronx/Brooklyn & Brooklyn Bridge
Berlin
New Delhi
Rotterdam
Hollywood
Mykonos
Rabat
Ontario
Istanbul
Cairo
Bloemfontein
Liverpool
Vladivostok
 
My hometown: Malé, Maldives:D

The city is probably nothing significant in the world, but the roads are 100% cobblestone, ultra-low grip (especially in the rain):scared:, EXTREMELY bumpy:nervous:, and narrower than GT4 Citta di Aria (in some places only).

It also provides a good sunset:tup:

Anyways, from the original GT circuits, I really miss:
- Seattle
- New York
- Opera Paris
- Rome (old)
- SSR11

Amalfi was absolutely breathtaking, and one of the things I was most looking forward to seeing in GT along with Chamonix...So that was one of my big disappointments :( (still loving the game though, don't take this the wrong way)

We...kinda got Chamonix I guess, but it isn't half as beautiful as the original verion.
