This is the discussion thread for a recent post on GTPlanet:
This article was published by Andrew Evans (@Famine) on December 28th, 2017 in the Gran Turismo Sport category.
If we want to bring that into the quality of GT Sport now, there is a lot that we have to redesign, and it is not that easy.
There were curbstones that were wider than cars!
Here's hoping the original tracks don't lose much of their personality if they do get redesigns. I trust PD on this one though, as I'd say GT6's versions of Apricot Hill and Midfield turned out quite nice.
It's nice to know, but I'm just gonna throw this out there... are those 'holy trinity' of GT circuits actually deserving of inclusion - or is it 'just' nostalgia that makes people want them?

Meanwhile on Dragon Trail...

I always liked GT for its graphics, and amazing presentation of their original tracks. If I want to race on world circuits, I fire up Assetto or PC1/2.It's nice to know, but I'm just gonna throw this out there... are those 'holy trinity' of GT circuits actually deserving of inclusion - or is it 'just' nostalgia that makes people want them?
I race Deep Forest, Trial Mountain, and Grand Valley over Le Mans any day of the week. Don't know what the fuss about La Sarthe is, it is a bad track. Period. I never heard a racing driver gush over that track. When asked usually Brands Hatch, old Austrian ring, Spa, Monza, Watkins Glen, Monaco come up. Le Mans? Not so much.Circuit de la Sarthe??
We won't speak of the GT4-era Grand Valley corner reprofiling...
Would you argue the big three aren't genuinely good race tracks? Trial Mountain will probably have to undergo some level of redesign for that final chicane. I imagine the rocks lining the track could be an issue in terms of realism, though in practice, they're no different from Tokyo's walls. But other than that, I think the layouts of all three have aged quite well.

Doesn't have the ability but it's what it should do.If you think PD has the ability to include all of these tracks, you might want to lower your expectations. A lot.

I think Autumn Ring should be in there too! For me that's also an iconic Gran Turismo circuit!

I never really cared about how long PD has taken to do things. Especially now since the things we wanted in GTS are planned to arrive in future updates.I can't help but ask. With the obvious budget they have. What the hell have they been doing with their time since GT6.
You can't get an outside team or more members to help with track and car design.
I love GT. I love PD. But it's becoming unacceptable. They seem to get 1/3 done in the time others have released 2-3 games already.
Something has to give. Really.
So.. why they aren't in the game?
"There is no particular reason"
The article clearly said“The problem that we had with some of the older tracks from previous Gran Turismo games was the scale being off in certain places. The size of the trees are very large, or the width of the curbstones, etc. There were curbstones that were wider than cars!

At this point, I couldn't care less about how long these things take to arrive. I'm just happy that they're even coming to GTS. I don't mind waiting.
Red Rock Valley needs to come back.
It is the best "oval" ever created.
Since GT2 it does not appear.
The time is now! Please, Kaz!
Bring Red Rock Valley!
It is better than any oval.
