I believe that licensing for courses such as Monaco and Laguna Seca must be quite expensive, but how about licensing for old F1 circuits, or circuits that have been demolished? I know of a truckload of circuits which don't exist anymore or even where the licensing wouldn't (or shouldn't) be too expensive and would be great to race in GT4.

For example, the Adelaide Street Circuit in Australia, or the olf F1 Detroit circuit, or even the extra weird Automobil Verkehrs und Ubung Strasse AVUS in Germany. I agree with the addition of the Zandvoort course as well as Riverside and Le Mans. But even some lesser-known tracks like the Scandinavian Raceway Anderstorp (Sweden), Jacarepagua (Brazil), Pescara (Italy), or the Autodromo Oscar Alferedo Galvez (Argentina) would be first options for me...

See what I mean?
 
How about Sebring. Or take some streets from Orlando and turn them into a track.
 
or even this one...

Personally I'd like to see Sears Point, but in one of its earlier configs and not the new "Nascar-friendly" one they came up with to keep Jimmy Spencer's whining to a minimum. :p

And how about some of the tracks that V8 supercars run on? Let's not just restrict ourselves to F1 courses...
Any large oval, like a 20 miler to really open up on the 30 degree banks
 
I Love turns; sharp turns, sweeping turns, any combination of them. A track needs the right balance of Sharp turns, sweeping turns, straights, hills, etc. which is why I LOVE Virginia International Raceway (VIR)...

That track is called "Jacarepagua", and it's in Brazil. It was an F1 track from 1978 to 1989... I'm afraid I don't know much more about it, nor if it even exists anymore.
 
Those are some pretty neat tracks Diego! Hopes someone from PD is looking at this now :D

You just want a track like that so oyu can try out your completely and utterly useless 100,000hp hybrids.

That'll never happen.

Indianopollis :curvyrd: would be nice.. are they going to update :clock: it soon or something for the F1? :chkflag:
The Indy track would serve as three, Indy 500, brickyard an the F1 race
 
I would love all these tracks as well but as far as I know the tracks for GT4 are all but decided. I think they are existing GT tracks plus 1 from Hong Kong and one from China.

Will try to find the link.
 
id like too see some more TRUE street courses on the game

some examples are surfers paradise (pic below), adelaide, macau, long beach, vancouver, toronto and st petersburg.

also some other tracks that would be good are road america, mid-ohio, mexico city, bahrain (when built), phillip island, queenslasnd raceway and barbagello

and like all australians, i would LOVE to see bathurst as well

Let's think...

Le Mans, old Nurburgring, Donington (as mentioned previously).

Some variation in the rally stages - something on gravel like Dyfi or Kielder from the RAC (sorry Rally GB), something snowy like Sweden, something jumpy like the 1000 Lakes (sorry Rally Finland), and something sandy or swampy from the Safari Rally (or whatever that is called now). Yes, definitely want something Safari-like, that would be quite a departure from the rallycross courses in GT3. Has anyone told Polyphony that rallies are not held over LAPS?!!

F1 tracks - how about the one in Caesar's Palace car park where they once held the US GP? (joke)

Would like to see the return of Red Rock and Autumn Ring, and Complex String widened for racing - can't believe people haven't mentioned that yet.
 
theres no pacific track i want, but i definitly want some more ovels because even though they get boring in sim mode in 2 player i love getting my freinds and we both use the same car. it makes for quite a challange because u really dont have to break and your almost always head to head.

That track is no more like that. I know that because i live 5 minutes away from it.

It still exists, but after 1995 they created an oval track that was used by CART from 1996 to 2001 (if i'm not wrong).

The layout of the circuit changed just a bit. These days, the track is used by MOTO GP, and all Brazilian championships:

- Stock Car V8
- Stock Car light
- Pick-up Racing
- Truck Championship
- F-Renault Brasil
- Clio Cup Brasil
- Brazilian Endurance Championship
-....

Nowadays Jacarepaguá is like this:

The famous circuit used by F1 still is called Nelson Piquet Raceway. The Oval Track is called Emerson Fittipaldi Speedway.

I'm posting more Brazilian tracks for you guys see

- Curitiba International Raceway

3.Phillip Island (motogp and was used by v8s for last time in 2003)
4.Albert Park (F1)
5.Monza from the late 50's with the banks (f1)
6.Brands Hatch (superbikes use it)
7.Old sliver stone like the one in GPL (f1)
8.Mexico city (f1 last raced ther in 92 I think)
