If I could choose 5 to add...

Knockhill - Other than Lime Rock, we don't have any good short tracks in the series now. Knockhill both provides good racing and is exciting to hot lap on.

Mosport - Gives us a Canadian track, one more from the IMSA schedule, and is just overall a cool track.

Potrero de los Funes - A very unique track, feeling like a blend between a street circuit and a Gran Turismo fantasy track. Ticks both boxes, being a real race track, but being built in the basin of an old volcano around a lake, it almost feels like a fantasy track and would be great for promotional "beauty" shots for the game.

Sachsenring - A cool flowing track with some good elevation change. The first 5-ish corners on the track allow for some great setup passes, and the final corner offers multiple lines which work great for setting up moves into turn 1.

Townsville - We need more Australian tracks and more street circuits. It has some nice traditional passing zones as well as some cool sequences and actually has a little run off area in a few spots. Adelaide is also good but has been done before but it could work instead, but Gold Coast I don't think would transfer well into Forza.


Honorable mentions:

Portimao, Sportsland SUGO, Okayama, Pukekohe, Barber, Imola, Mont Tremblant

-Auto Club Speedway (Fontana)

I don't have any particular reasons why I like this tracks but I do like racing on them in other games.
Donington Park
Oulton Park
Imola
Red Bull Ring
Sepang
Brno
 
I wouldn't mind if Turn 10 picked a track from their own backyard - Pacific Raceways.

That’s a track they had supposedly laser scanned years ago, according to the company that they worked with to do the laser scanning. Nothing has ever come from it so far though, I think it would’ve been around FM5, maybe FM6 that this was said.


Phillip Island and Sydney Motorsport Park are two Australian tracks I’d like to see. Phillip Island is in my opinion is the best permanent circuit in Aus with a stunning backdrop, and SMP, while its not a particularly interesting looking circuit, has a great main layout and multiple other options for layouts.
 
I would love to see Donington Park, Fuji Speedway, Newcastle Street Circuit, Melbourne Grand Prix Circuit, and Adria International Raceway.
 
For me, I would like to have the following.

Returning tracks:
- Tsukuba Circuit
- Twin Ring Montegi

New Tracks:
- Imola
- Interlagos
- Monza (1960s)
- Nurburgring (1960s)
- Riverside Raceway
- Mosport
- Domington Park
- Cadwell Park
- Interlagos
- Detroit Belle Isle Park
- Mid Ohio Sports Car Course
- Circuit de la Sarthe (1960s)

I didn't see a fantasy tracks section

Falcon Speedway from the Lego Horizon expansion would actually be very cool, a short fast oval with more than a few road course variants.
 
Here's what I want added to Motorsport 8, based on the following:

Real world tracks from Gran Turismo that's not in Forza:
Ascari
Autopolis
Fuji Speedway
Goodwood Motor Circuit
Interlagos
Red Bull Ring
Willow Springs

Popular tracks based on what other people want:

Mosport
 
Imola
Istanbul Park
Interlagos

Old La Sarthe. Not non-chicaned 1980's La Sarthe, but 1966 (or older!) hay-bales-as-barriers La Sarthe.

And another mention for small tracks, Summit Point Motorsports Complex. I did a track day session on Shenandoah above, and man, what a blast it could be, along with Main and Jefferson courses as well.
 
Mosport
Circuit Gilles Villeneuve
Brno
Donington Park.

I’d like classic versions of current tracks.
Le Mans
Spa
Monza
Hockenheim
