Alright.
To start off this is a Track I found called 'Motegi South'. It is based on the real life Gymkhana/testing course located in the Motegi tracks. This track is also where PD tested there cars for the games. It can be seen in making video of the games.
I believe the course was scrapped for later games as it may have been replaced by the Driving Park Gymkhana Courses.
However, here's a little extra.
The TVR can be found on the track.

I'll try making codes but I don't really know how to.

Interesting find Castrol96. Also do you use the korean version or the japan one? Because i tried to do Motegi South in the european but the game crash.

I use a NTSC-J copy.
This is a Rally, Tsukuba shaped track I found. Very hard to control on.
I have also found 'Tahiti Road' but the game crashes when it loads. This might remain somewhere, chances are the GT Concept demo discs?
Is posting some images and doing a video would be okay (is that what you want exactly?)
The Pod Race unlocks once you have completed all the licence tests.
You access the race from the Game Status
You have ether 1 Player against 5 A.I or 2 Player Split Screen.
Single Player
2 Player
Race Menu
Race Start
This is what happens if i didn't stop...
(Captured using Elgato Game Capture HD on a Real PS2. Yeah blame the resolution but i noticed that it looks better on the TV screen itself)
Actually i should just upload a video instead.

Unless i modded the game codes to have a time trial on this track, i can't do time trials with this track. I should have a go with the normal race and see if the A.I won't annoy me...-> ...
^ There are couple of (racing) videos already uploaded in YT.
-> If you can do a slow drive around (on a time trial mode) for 2 laps, if thats possible. I'm not asking too much, I can't even upload a direct feed from my TV to YT.

Motegi kinda gives off the Eifel vibe. I wonder if it's the missing scenery that does this, but it seems to me that the elevations on the track aren't like the final.

True, the elevations of the unfinished tracks are different to the finals. The same applies for Tsukuba and Suzuka which I'll upload soon.

Interesting. It's almost as if they were planning to have a Motegi like track in the Originals tracklist 
Oh, neat!
I didn't realise that there were a research thread for Gran Turismo Concept aswell.
Great finds @Castrol96. The dirt layout that is reminiscent of Tsukuba Circuit is rather questionable indeed. Its plausible that Polyphony Digital created the circuit using the original model of Tsukuba Circuit, before editing it accordingly. Given the name and the exceptional amount of elevation alterations and jumps, it appears to be, as the name somewhat implies, a track used for testing purposes.
The early build of Twin Ring Motegi is rather reminiscent of the early Nurburgring build in the Prius Trial Version, as both highlight the early modelling processes of the circuits of Gran Turismo. This, as we've seen, typically involves creating a floating layout before adding anything that could be regarded as the surrounding environment.

Speaking of Gran Turismo Concept. I recently acquired this:
Came with free complimentary considerably scrunched Japanese newspaper packaging.

What tracks would been in there? The tracks you already shown with the tracks we haven't seen yet?

Yeah, on spot. I made a half and hour video with all the hidden tracks exclusive to GT Concept. I think I'll now make it into a two part video now, theres also a ton of GT3 tracks I might make a video of later.
Just glad I have all the parts left over from the video

Nice. I'm kinda anxious to see if there are any more unused photo mode tracks or anything like that.

There are, you'll be surprised
The GTC videos are gonna be a series, from hidden cars etc. And between I'll make series for the GT4 Prologue. Plus, you know the videos are being remade in 1080 now, older videos had such bad quality.
