I submitted a guide to GT4 to show when the tracks become available had it rejected and added to it and got it rejected again for lack of content. I would love to know what else I can put in the guide as I have put in all the information there is (other than the LAN information but that I stated would be an update). I list it out below so if anyone has any ideas what is needed I would be interested to hear them.

1. Introduction
This guide was produced with the Japanese version of the game. I see no
reason for it to be any different in other releases.
Unlike previous versions of Gran Turismo, the latest version differs in the
way that the Arcade part of the game works. In previous versions you raced
on tracks in the Arcade to unlock them for use on multiplayer or ilink. GT4
is different in that you need to play in GT Mode to be able to access new
tracks.
As License Tests are taken, Cars are bought or sold, Prize cars are won,
the new Photomode is used or Tracks are driven on, in GT Mode, the day
count will increase by 1 day. There is now a small charge for this... you
can't use a track in GT Mode for free! As the day count increases more
tracks will become available for use (other than in the races that are
available in the Race Halls or at the Manufacturers of course). A new track
is opened up every 14 game days. These tracks can be accessed in special
"halls" on the GT Mode Map, that are for Real Circuits, City Courses,
Original Circuits and Dirt and Snow. Initially there are 26 tracks
available split between these four sections. They are also in the Arcade.
The Arcade also has these four sections when a track is selected in one of
the four Arcade modes. These are Time Trial, Single Player, Multiplayer and
LAN. For some reason not all the tracks currently available for use are
accessible in all parts of the Arcade game.
I had to start a new game so that I could determine the days on which
tracks become available. I have listed them in alphabetical order of Track
Names and also in Day of Release order.
===========================================================================
2. Limitations in the Arcade Game
All the courses are available in Time Trial. Due I suspect to the
processing power of the PS2 being well used in the game, some tracks are
not available everywhere.
For Single Player Racing the Citta Di Aria (City Courses) track is not
available to use.
For 2 Player the following are not available:
Autumn Ring (Original Courses)
Cathedral Rocks Trail I (Dirt and Snow)
Cathedral Rocks Trail II (Dirt and Snow)
Chamonix (Dirt and Snow)
El Capitan (Original Courses)
George V Paris (City Courses)
Grand Canyon (Dirt and Snow)
New York (City Courses)
Special Stage Route 5 (City Courses)
Tsukuba Circuit Wet (Real Circuits)
NOTE: Not having the possibility of running a LAN game at the moment, that
part of the Arcade Game will have to wait for the arrival of my American
version which should enable me to try a LAN game and, unlike the Japanese
version, I will be able to read the options available.
