Offline: all the real tracks. AI appear to be much slower, than on the fantasy tracks.

Sport: haven't raced on all of them yet. My worse experiences have been on the Yamamiyagi(cant remember the spelling) track.
 
My vote was Northern Isle but I can't stand any of the oval tracks in GTS.

I really like Willow Springs its a fast track with a wide tarmac and many different lines you can run. Once you practice and get use to how many different lines can be taken around that place it really starts to become fun.

I can completely understand why someone would like it. And I agree there different lines you can take through the corners. My issue comes with racing other cars on it. Today I was doing a race against the AI and I was trying to pass. He swerved just a little bit. For me it was either hit the back corner of his car or try and squeeze between his car and the track edge. It was the last turn (right before the start/finish straight). I tried to squeeze by, the edge of my tire hit the dirt, and my race was over. I was off and there was no coming back. Infuriating.
 
Big Willow is definitely my favourite track in the game. It’s a track, like Ascari, which was my favourite in GT6, you have to drive angry and throw the car around. It’s not a finesse track at all and I don’t really understand how people can go off, I find it’s the hardest track to go into the dirt on since it’s so wide and there’s no blind corners. It’s also great for side by side racing.

Horse Thief is utter garbage though, and Streets only suits certain cars, like big slow muscle cars.

Of the real tracks, I agree Nordschleife has no point in a racing game, it’s fantastic to drive but way too narrow to race on, its just follow the leader until someone messes up. Monza is great, other than the chicanes, which are torture in sport mode.

Northern Isle’s main problem is its execution. The straightaways are too short and the corners too long. It’s supposed to based on Bristol but Bristol works because it has longer straightaways so you have to slow down and actually drive through the corners. Blue Moon and BB are fantastic though. I’m an oval guy though.

I love Alsace but agree that it’s completely unrealistic

The dirt tracks don’t even register in my mind for being in this game. The circuit experience is the only time I’ve seen them, and they’re a completely waste of space on the game servers and disc.

My vote went for Tokyo, I don’t understand how anyone could vote for anything else. It’s torture to drive on, torture to race on, and two different layouts of completely different forms of torture.
 
why are there offroad tracks in GTS, when they are not used except only once on driving scool and missions? Are they used in GT-League, can't remember but I think no.

Maybe PD should an extra daily race with offroad tracks. I know, almost nobody would race it because of fearing the chaos, so the amount of losing/gaining DR/SR could be limited, to lets say 300 DR and 5 SR. So you can still gain, so its not completely useless, but with less risk

There’s a race in GT league, for the Ford Raptor’s one make that takes place in a dirty track. But that’s all.

The AI can be some very dirty drivers at times. I will agree with you that once you run off the track at Willow your race is probably over at that point because getting back onto the track is almost impossible.
It's definitely a fast fun track but very unforgiving to the smallest of mistakes.
 
I'm going to give pass at any real world track. I have a huge disdain for Willow Springs but its almost an institution in the virtual and real world.

I dont mind any of the Sony road courses, even Alsace has its good points however I hugely dislike the Tokyo Wangan tracks.

Special Stage 7 was actually pretty fun... these ones in GTS? Nah. Why? Who likes dual lane races?
 
Also Interlagos... granted I havent driven this track in a very long time but those 1st gear multiple stacked on hairpins... I suppose these are the new FIA safety measures.

I dont remember it being this crap in the Senna days.
 
While Willow might seem to be the more difficult track as far as knowing your points for braking and turn-in, the track that I REALLY struggle with is Mt. Panorama. It's not a difficult track to learn and know, but I can't for the life of me match the online pace of drivers my level through the hill with any kind of reliable consistency.

I keep a specific pace that allows me consistent laps, but I can't push any further without completely losing the car. This is most true for the tight left with the sudden drop. I don't think I've ever hit that corner the same twice, and half the time the rear gets away from me. My clean laps in Gr.3 are about 4 or 5 seconds off the slowest top-10 time, which is absolutely pathetic compared to my normal pace at other tracks.

Sorry, guys. But for Mt. Panorama... I like to drive the track, but I HATE to race there.
 
My vote goes to Nordschleife. Its a love/hate thing. Chances are if I'm doing a kick ass lap time on there I'm going to stack it at the end of the straight and waste a good 6+ minutes of my life.
But if you can break the 5 minute time you cant help but love it.
P.S. I still have nightmares of the complex string. NOTHING is ever as bad as that!

So I guess you wouldn’t have taken part in the infamous 100 Laps of Complex String back in the day.

My vote went to Alsace Village. To me it feels like a prettier version of a track one might’ve created in GT5’s Course Creator. Especially that last downhill section into the chicane. It’s just a bit too ridiculous to me, I like the fantasy tracks to have a sense of plausibility to them, which I just don’t get from Alsace.
 
I still haven't raced there.
What? You must try it, give it a chance, believe me. The Tokyo tracks are great tracks. A bit like Monaco but just way faster. The narrow walls give you a perfect sense of speed and there’s no room for mistakes. Nailing the Corners and apexes with max speed will give you the full thrill and god damn good adrenaline boosts ;)

There are loads of overtaking spots on the Nordschleife, people just need to understand that they might benefit from letting a faster driver through and guide them a little ;)

Jesus Christ
I can only dream of such a time :(
Without the utterly garbage GP track a sub 6 minute time is easy to do in a GT3 car imho :sly:
 
SVX
It's a bit silly to call him out for not understanding why a non-FIA-legal street highway is in an FIA game and just say it's due to no eSports games being perfect :confused:

That's just moving the goal posts. I was just giving a possible answer.

I only know four :( (the nose, the foxhole, the series of turns after the foxhole, and the back straight)

BoP and RH? My best on that combo is a 6:40 :(

With BoP and RH I can manage a 8:15ish time on the 24h layout, so if you‘re really lucky and fast a 5:xx should be possible? :D I‘ll try it out later
