Are you saying that Toscana Rally is based on the shape of Italy? I think you are reaching for that one just a little bit.

 

[Villain]

I don't think it's too much of a reach. Does this look familiar as well?

In GT5:

👍

Nice, but I'd rather have the Mille Milgia.

That's great !!

As for the shape of Italy.. 💡 Well, you know you've been playing GT5 too much when...

Old news. Considering toscano is a region in Italy its hardly surprising. Same for the Eifel tracks there in the Eifel region in Germany.

 

[witham]

I can see it but it looks better if you flip toscana, then it looks like italy!

Easily impressed, are we?

Seriously, are there still people who don't know that Toscane is in Italy?

And how about this OP:

Take a look of two countries right from Italy on map you've posted.

One is Croatia:

Other one is Bosnia and Herzegovina:

Now throw a look at map of Trial Mountain circuit:

Yikes, a little bent up for something silly I noticed, aren't we?

Toscana is based in Italy. Thats why it's in the GT Tour in Special events. It isn't based on Italy however. As far as I am aware it is a course maker track that PD chose to use.

I know the Toscana course is based on the the real life environment of Tuscany, it is not however, based on Italy's borders. That is why I said it's a reach.

So there's no chance that the developers had a little bit of fun with it?

Killjoy, jeeeeez.

Edit: For those who are obviously confused. The track layout of Toscana (Italy) looks similar to the outline of Italy.

Now, is that an opinion or a fact? If you want to claim that's a fact, then I want to see some proof.





















I also want to know why you hate Christmas.

Lol, I love Christmas. Take away the gigantic tumor on the right side of the map and maybe I will believe the conspiracy. Until then, let me make it clearer for you. In my opinion, the Toscana course is not modeled to look like the Italian borders. Not a fact, no proof, just not going to reach for something that's not there.

gl3nb0ts, I know what you are saying, however, I think PD bases their map design on what they think will make for good racing and driving, not trying to model after the shape of a country. Sorry if it came off harsh.

Monza track map. Shaped like a V:

You're right! Monza is obviously shaped like Vermont!

 

[Villain]

you know you've been playing GT5 too much when...

...you see a car in real life which has tinted windows and think to yourself "hey, that Standard looks pretty good!"
