Hmm, I really liked the Special Stage Route 11 in GT1. Those 2 tight corners in the midsection of the track were awesome, too bad the track isn't in in GT2 and 4 and the whole exciting part of it was gone in GT3...too bad :/

I completely agree that GT3 ruined the best part of SS11 👎
 
Mine are:

Favorites:
-Nurburgring- I am not the greatest at it, but I am gonna practice there a lot later on to get good at it.
-Sarthe I & II-I don't mind the chicanes in II, but I love the great variation of speed and cornering for both versions.
-Monaco(cote)- Used to be my favorite, but then I realized its a little too technical for me, and high speeds aren't too easy to get, and I like a good mix of speed and cornering, but I still like it.
-Deep Forest- I don't exactly know why, but I just like this track. It's just fun to do.
-SSR5- Another cool track, but set at night with cornering and high speeds.
-Infineon (both versions)- Another track where I don't understand why, but I like it.
-Midfield- Fun little track with a nice straight and pretty quick corners.
-Swiss Alps- Still my favorite rally.
-Chamonix- The track looks really cool, but I am not the greatest at it. I plan on learning that track as well.
-Fuji(pretty much every version)- Just another fun track with high speeds, and on some versions, cornering.
-Tokyo- A really fun track that I still enjoy. It's a pretty high speed track, with only a few complex areas, but all the high speed corners make it cool.
-Seattle- A track that I've liked since GT3, which is why I've also learned to like Deep Forest, Midfield, Monaco, Swiss Alps, Tokyo and SSR5. (never played GT2, but plan on it some day)
-Citta d'Aria- A track that I am bad at, but looks really cool, and would be great to see replays of a well-run lap at.
-Test Course- Why else?
-Super Speedway- Just a fun track to record lap times.

Least Favorites:
-Opera Paris- Eh, I don't like it. Its a short track with REALLY slow turns. Not for me. I also think the scenery is pretty boring there.
-Autumn Ring- Another boring track. The scenery isn't the best, and its a pretty slow course. The ring turn is pretty cool though.
-Suzuka (full)-This track is one of my least favorites because if you go off the track, you're in sand, and with all of the turns that are pretty decieving, it gets annoying. Its an alright track besides that.
-Laguna Seca- I used to be pretty good at this track, but I had to re-learn it since it was a while since I played a GT game before GT4. Another where if you go off the track, you go too slow for my liking.
-Ice Arena- Really short with little going for it. I like the scenery, but it's just too little, and pretty slow.
-Twin Ring Motegi (pretty much all versions)- Boring, plain and simple. I just don't really like it.
-Driving Park(Motorland and Beginner Course)- Too short, not really cool scenery either.
-Hong Kong- It looks pretty cool, but it's too slow. I used to really suck at it, but I am used to it now.
 
Complex string was basically replaced by the nurb.
Why do i hate RRV, long hidden corners and used way too much, and ive done far too many laps around it.
 
Does anyone else miss MotorSportsLand from GT2? that little bitty track that you could only race in Time Trial mode on the Aracade CD? I love that track.
Nurburgring is my favorite in GT4 just because its hard to learn. I loved Complex String for that reason too.

Least favorite: Hong Kong. I just don't like the flow. Gran Canyon also. I think I would like that track more if the rally physics didn't seem to be messed up in GT4.
 
Does anybody know whether the Suzuka West short course is used in any races in the game? I looked through some events guide but cant' find any events in the track....
 
Favorites:

Sarthe: Thought there would be nothing to it but Mulsanne, but now that I have driven it several times I think there is a lot of variety and rhythm in the course. And I personally love the section from the Mulsanne Straight through Arnage and Indianapolis... White-knuckle driving at its best! If you're not concentrating and sweating then you're not going fast enough :cool:

Laguna Seca: Just because of the Corkscrew

Sears Point (I like the old name!): I love the hilly section in the opening part of the course

Trial Mountain: Mostly just because of the big sweeping left-hander at the end of the long back-straight - nailing that one perfectly so you rocket up the hill towards the last set of esses is a rush. (Hate the chicane-thingy before the start/finish line though 👎 )

Nurburgring - I suck at this one but the replays are sweet

Chamonix: - Rallying in the snow is fun, IF you have a good rally setup. Otherwise it becomes very frustrating.


Least favorites:

Suzuka: I agree with the other folks - too many blind off-camber corners with giant gravel traps. A few sections are fun though, so maybe this should belong in the "love/hate" category....

Fuji 2005: A giant parking lot with white lines painted on it. Terrible.

Ice Arena: Feels like I'm in a pinball machine, no place to stretch your legs.

Motegi: Zzzzzzzz

Seoul, New York, George V: I hate these courses with the circles. Seoul is particularly boring.

-----

I actually don't hate Opera - go figure. You do have to have a really good-handling car though...

Citta d'Aria, Costa di Amalfi and Monaco have some of the better replays, and the layouts are growing on me...
 
I have to say that the new tracks in GT4 seem a very varied bunch, both in terms of racing (which is great) and also graphically (which is not so great but.... hey)

For driving you can't beat the 'ring or Citta di Aria - the ring's so complex and requires so much effort to get right, I find it really rewarding to drive and Citta Di Aria feels so fast and narrow......fantastic.

Then there are tracks that just look brilliant - All the Rally tracks (except Swiss Alps - never liked that one much. Bring back Pikes Peak!), El Capitan, New York, Hong Kong (Hong Kong is a b**** to drive though, no flow at all, I can see why people hate it)

I think PD did I pretty good job on the whole, but some tracks just look a bit rushed (Seoul) and I find some a bit boring (Motegi, off the top of my head). The only track I don't like is Fuji 05. Someone said it looks like a car park and I'd have to agree.

Oh and they left a few old tracks out I would have loved to see - Grindlewald, Red Rock, Pikes Peak and.............Tahiti Road (maybe it was just me who has fond memories of that track, flying around it in a 3000gt Vr-4, nice set of rims........erm sorry, got distracted)

That's my Tuppence for you then (2 cents for American readers)
 
misfit
yeah - Grindewald was a good one as well....what ever happened to the statement "all tracks in previous GT games will be in GT4"!

I liked this track also. Is it just me or did anyone else notice how the whole track was uphill? You never drove downhill the whole trip around.
 
i gotta say that my all time favorite would have to be seattle. everything just goes smooth for me on that track idk y. but its gr8!! 👍
 
i like almost all of the city cources, but i hate the "the ring" because the car when is going fast is very unestable and it always pist me off

I've been dying for GT4 to finally be released so I could ask this question:

Does Trial Mountain seem wider?
Click to expand...
Trial mountain seems about the same, parts of deep forest seem a bit tighter. My fav. has to be the Nurburgring and Le sarthe, I cant stand motegi though for some reason.

No, lots fo cars get unstable, part of the fun but it is frustratinug. Try it in a stock NSX-R LM Road car, its damn tricky.
