Week 20, here we are! For this, the final staff-selected TOTW (read up here on how you can help choose next week’s track), we’re moving away from the Death Valley setting of last week’s track to the woods of Vienna. Welcome to Wiener Höhenstraße. At least, the first part of it…

You may have noted a distinct lack of Track of the Week this… week. While #20 is indeed incoming – it will be live later today – we’re changing things up after that. That’s right: starting with TOTW21, each week’s track will be picked by you, dear readers.

Death Valley isn’t the most popular environment amongst the track-making community. The unforgiving track barriers don’t help, and the desert setting doesn’t offer the elevation changes that Eifel and Andalusia can. But climbing and diving alone don’t make a track great: look at Sebring (our first TOTW recepient, actually). For the 19th week of this feature, we’ve got a relatively flat Death Valley track that nonetheless offers up plenty of fast-paced racing under the sun’s glare: Desert Valley Raceway.

Remember Nimble Beat Circuit? That Week 16 selection kicked off a renewed interest in smaller tracks here in the office, and the cars that feel at home on them. There’s something immensely satisfying about the speed-conservation approach little cars offer, knowing that any velocity scrubbed away will be all the more difficult to recover from. Smörgåsbord is just that sort of circuit, and its my selection for this week’s Track of the Week.

Rumble strips. They come in a variety of shapes and shades – most common is red and white, like a barber pole, or a candy cane – and tend to act as targets for racers committed to shaving every last hundredth off their lap times. For this, the seventeenth TOTW here at GTPlanet, we’ve picked a track without any.

Taken from the cluster of ingenious Fantasy tracks, the Nimble Beat Circuit made by GTP member watermelon punch occupied our attention this week, by offering its entertaining flow of blind and variously elevated S-turns. If you’ve recently considered taking out some of your favourite hot-hatches or Kei micro-machines for a spin, this could be a reason to do it.

We’re a little late this week, but here it is: another custom track to add to your collection, courtesy of the Track Database here at GTPlanet. It’s a bit different than most of the others we’ve picked over the past few months…

It’s that time again. Time for us to jump back into the GT6 Track Database here at the ‘Planet, and go for a drive. This week’s track should make you hungry for racing, and not just because it’s outline roughly resembles a steak. Mmmm, steak.

We’re back! It’s a new year, and a new week, which means another track plucked from our GT6 Track Database to show off. Like Week 12’s Circuito Hornachuelos, today’s pick is from the realm of fantasy. Where it differs, is the length…

Heading into the final day of 2015, we’re here with our twelfth Track Of The Week for Gran Turismo 6 drivers. With the majority of the picks so far being replicas – like last week’s Estoril – we’re heading back to the realm of fantasy. We’ve got a familiar name with us for the trip too…

Welcome back to GTP’s Track Of The Week, where we highlight outstanding creations from our community. This is the tenth week, so we’re throwing you something new: a point-to-point ribbon of tarmac to really test your car’s setup!

It’s the ninth week of our regular Track Of The Week article, and we’re changing gears. The last three circuits have been replicas of various world-famous venues (Road America, Serres Circuit, and, most recently, Portimao), while we’ve only had two fantasy tracks since the feature began nearly two months ago. The third to step into the spotlight is Melder’s Brook.

Here we are in December, days away from the two year anniversary of GT6, for the eighth iteration of GTPlanet’s Track Of The Week. It’s another real-world replica this week, as we travel to Portugal’s Algarve International Circuit (commonly referred to as simply Portimao).

The staff here at GTPlanet have plucked another ribbon from the hundreds currently available in our GT6 Track Database. In our last installment, we covered La Tour Eifel, a rolling fantasy track crafted by one of our own. This week, we’re heading back to the realm of replicas.

Welcome again to GTPlanet’s GT6 Track of the Week, where we highlight impressive creations from within the community. After the tight, tricky Zandvoort replica from Week 4, we’re moving back to the realm of fantasy circuits.

It’s that time again! In between Jordan’s coverage of SEMA – take a look at the finalists if you haven’t yet, before a winner is crowned – we’re delivering another selection hand-picked by the GTPlanet staff from our constantly-growing GT6 Track Database.

We’re a tiny bit late this week – you may have noticed one or two big news articles the last few days – but fear not, the third GTPlanet Track of the Week pick is here!

It’s time for the second GT6 Track of the Week, where GTPlanet staff members share their favorite custom tracks in our GT6 Track Database!
