Deep Forest Raceway

A day after confirming what we all expected — Deep Forest Raceway is returning to the Gran Turismo series in GT7 — Polyphony Digital has shown off a 4K cockpit video of the new track, revealing the changes to the circuit.

The official Gran Turismo social media accounts have now confirmed that the classic original Gran Turismo Deep Forest Raceway will be returning to the series with Gran Turismo 7.

Alongside revealing a selection of new vehicles for Gran Turismo 7, the latest trailer which landed today may well have confirmed at least one additional track for the title: Deep Forest.

It’s pretty to safe to say that the Gran Turismo 7 reveal video made quite an impact on long-term GT fans. Though GT Sport has its own charms, players have missed the old GT style in more ways than one.

If you spend some time looking around GTPlanet’s GT Sport forums, it won’t take long until you find a complaint about the track list. It’s usually about what’s not on it rather than what is.

Since GTPlanet reader Joel Hadar first discovered this abandoned circuit in Iowa held a striking resemblance with Gran Turismo’s Deep Forest Raceway, the old track has found itself in the spotlight once again.

“Deep Forest Raceway” has been a popular staple in every major Gran Turismo game released since 1997. It has long been considered and classified as an entirely fictional circuit, created by Kazunori Yamauchi and his team at Polyphony Digital.
