/!\ July 11 - new trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33XHZ0A51ck

--------------------------------------------------------

A very original location to include.

Goodwood’s renowned 1.86km Hill Climb, centre piece of the British stately home’s annual Festival of Speed, has been announced as a new track to feature on the forthcoming Gran Turismo®6 for PlayStation®3.

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has an enviable international reputation as a celebration of all things automotive and motor sport. The annual event, held at the family home of the Earl of March, features an array of cars that spans from the beginnings of the automotive industry at the end of 19th century to the very latest cars proudly displayed by the manufacturers. The range and scope of the event is mirrored by Polyphony Digital’s aspirations for "The Real Driving Simulator".

"I have always been a huge admirer of the Festival of Speed and what Lord March has achieved," explains Polyphony Digital President and legendary creator of Gran Turismo, Kazunori Yamauchi, who will don his own race suit and helmet to pilot a number of cars up the famous Hill at Goodwood. "I love the incredible range of cars on display – from the priceless, rare and exotic, to the latest family hatchback and full on racing cars – I love the challenge of the Hill Climb and the rally stage. Goodwood represents every type of motoring and motor sport which very much mirrors what we aim to achieve with Gran Turismo and so it is very special that we have forged this partnership. There will be no better feedback than that provided by the Goodwood fans to tell me if we are heading in the right direction with Gran Turismo 6!"

[Blablurn]

looks like a classy track, not bad

 

[Acid08]

God, this game looks fucking unreal. Hoping for a PS4 port someday.

 

[nib95]

Awesome. This game keeps giving.

For those who may not have heard of the event before, its a very small run but it's all about the love of cars.

 

[Sethos]

Man, can't wait to see how GT7 pans out on the PS4.

 

[Wax Free Vanilla]

So we have all the new tracks/locations now? The original PR said seven iirc:

-Silverstone
-Brands Hatch
-Matterhorn
-Willow Springs
-Bathurst
-Goodwood
-Tokyo (night)

Wait, so this is it? There won't be anymore track announcements?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Wait, so this is it? There won't be anymore track announcements?

We don't know. Right now the only completely official tracks announced are Silverstone, Matterhorn, Willow Springs and Goodwood. That's it. We'll find out more at Gamescom and TGS.

 

[Toxa]

3D people on the track

 

[GodofWine]

Man, can't wait to see how GT7 pans out on the PS4.

I know. I'm holding off on any purchases until PS4.drops.

The driving physics in the GT academy are just stellar feeling, all they need to do is make the game shine now on the "quad"

 

[TwistedMind]

I hope there is a PS4 version with 3D trees

;-)

Small there were 200k people there last year. For festival of speed, it was so busy I couldn't move next to the track. Would love to know what a big car show is.

Oh man, that looks amazing. All those cars from throughout history. Not just a focus on one generation.

 

[Thrakier]

God, this game looks fucking unreal. Hoping for a PS4 port someday.

Really, it does only in screenshots. I was shocked by the ingame graphic quality.

 

[Majmun]

Lotus...

Lowest selling GT game confirmed?

 

[andylsun]

Awesome. Always loved watching the hill climb. Pikes Peak next please.

 

[jabuseika]

Really, it does only in screenshots. I was shocked by the ingame graphic quality.

You played the final game?


I'm hoping for a Pikes Peak reveal...

 

[Ingueferroque]

That third shot looks amazing.

 

[Neuromancer]

I'm looking at the pictures, and I'm not seeing any hills.

You played the final game?


I'm hoping for a Pikes Peak reveal...

Dirt 1 had an amazing Pikes Peak. Man I probably spent 10 hours on that track alone.

 

[rrs]

You played the final game?

I'm hoping for a Pikes Peak reveal...

And also bring that German track from GT2 back, that was fun and hilly too.

 

[Pound_lb003]

Yay, so nearby me

I loved the Goodwood Festival of Speed when I went a couple years ago.

 

[Borman]

Still hoping for Watkins Glen.

 

[saladine1]

Whilst Goodwood might not be a track on the top of people's lists, it's good to see something different.

 

[dalin80]

Small there were 200k people there last year. For festival of speed, it was so busy I couldn't move next to the track. Would love to know what a big car show is.

It is small, 1.86km full run. Compared to a lot of the tracks in GT it's going to be very fast and narrow.

 

[Big Takeover]

Really nice recreation. OK, it's a bit of a novelty, but it's kind of a cool inclusion. I'll be happy to run it a few times in single player, but it's only really got three corners. There's just not much to keep you coming back.

Apart from it being damn beautiful.

It's there for cars to parade around in all their beauty. So when you think about it, a perfect fit for Gran Turismo.

Lotus...

AutoTrader... Gran Turismo series to go defunct?

 

[Hilti92]

Multiple guys in crowd holding 1 arm up making the same pose. NEXT GEN PLZ.

 

[Incendiary]

God, this game looks fucking unreal. Hoping for a PS4 port someday.

I swear I looked at the photographs in the OP and thought they were actual pictures of the track until I clicked on them and made them bigger. Holy crap this game is gorgeous.

 

[Mush]

Oh wow, when they announced that GT6 would be playable at Goodwood I had a funny feeling they might unveil its inclusion at this years event but I even now I'm still trying to take it in.

Good job, PD.

Still hoping for Watkins Glen.

You and me both, buddy.

 

[Jacobi]

Well, I've played the demo and it looked pretty bad.

 

[Niks]

im divided on this...

one one hand the GT brand and goodwood fit nicely toguether.. on the other, you cant even race in here...
so I guess its a photo-location/time attack track??

also I wonder why pikes peak wasnt anounced?

 

[Kenshin001]

I really want to race the Goodwood Hill Climb said no-one ever.

Once again PD show how out of touch they are. Bathurst will kind of redeem the game, I guess.

 

[FlyFaster]

So does this mean uphill will actually be featured in this game/ Pikes peak would be nice as well as some more general uphill tracks so we can battle ala Inital D

 

[Respawn]

God, this game looks fucking unreal. Hoping for a PS4 port someday.

I swear I thought those were real shots. wtf? Ive been gaming since forever and I never thought I could be fooled like this.

Man, can't wait to see how GT7 pans out on the PS4.

I dont even know what will happen. This man is going to end studios when thats released.

 

[Bunta]

So does this mean uphill will actually be featured in this game/ Pikes peak would be nice as well as some more general uphill tracks so we can battle ala Inital D

I would really love if they put Pikes Peak in it.

 

[Gouda Jouji]

-Silverstone
-Brands Hatch
-Matterhorn
-Willow Springs
-Bathurst
-Goodwood
-Tokyo (night)

Do you mean Ginza from the NSX trailer? That's probably a photo mode location.

They really needs to clarify the "33 locations, 71 layouts" numbers, since it obviously doesn't include the GT5 DLC (it would be 37 locations / 79 layouts if it did). One theory I've thought of is that if you own the GT5 DLC you'll get it in 6, and if you don't you'll still have to buy it. But we've seen Spa in GT6 screenshots already, so that would be pretty dumb. And they've said that all tracks from GT5 would be in 6 so they can't have cut any of the vanilla GT5 content.

These are the confirmed new circuit locations:

Silverstone
Matterhorn
Willow Springs
Goodwood

These are the new circuits we've seen in video, but haven't been officially announced:

Apricot Hill
Seattle

And these are the rumored ones (I think these are all of them, at least the recent ones):

Mt. Panorama
Brands Hatch
Special Stage Route 11
Ascari Race Resort

So something is going to be post-launch DLC for sure.

 

[Gen X]

This is why devs need to add new tracks, the freshness of new experiences and to pique the interest of fans. There are so many quality tracks from around the world that are generally ignored in favour of the same ol' same ol' Laguna Seca etc etc.

Some good tracks listed for GT6. Can't wait for Turn5 to backpedal on Bathurst when this is out.

 

[Kenshin001]

So does this mean uphill will actually be featured in this game/ Pikes peak would be nice as well as some more general uphill tracks so we can battle ala Inital D

I don't know why PD just don't create a track based off a Gunma mountain specifically for drifting or hill climbs. Would love to race a '90s RX7 down the hill or a Trueno like in the film. Think it'd be hugely popular.

Bah, I think it's pretty awesome.

Seattle is back? Fantastic!

 

[Superior]

Nvm.

 

[Kenshin001]

I am so glad they don't listen to people like you.

You'd prefer the Goodwood Hill Climb to a Gunma mountain track? Why?

 

[enzo_gt]

Okay, this is pretty damn awesome. Great inclusion IMO. Kaz stays winning.

 

[FlyFaster]

I don't know why PD just don't create a track based off a Gunma mountain specifically for drifting or hill climbs. Would love to race a '90s RX7 down the hill or a Trueno like in the film. Think it'd be hugely popular.

ya, I think it'd be an easy way to please fans, also not many sims really focus on touge, so having something in place for that sub-culture would be pretty cool. Also, I like the idea of 1 on 1 battles

 

[shandy706]

Ugh, the only current gen version of GT I want in the future is a Vita one.

The environments (and actual gameplay graphics) are so meh in this.

 

[chubigans]

You'd prefer the Goodwood Hill Climb to a Gunma mountain track? Why?

I just think the history of the track is cool, and to race on something like that is so Polyphony.

I'll wait for the full track list before being disappointed...not that it matters I guess, since I'm waiting for the PS4 version.

 

[Gentleman Jack]

Their arms do not look right.

At least the spectators are 3 dimensional this time, even if they do look like FFVIII models.

 

[coldfoot]

I would really love if they put Pikes Peak in it.

They did in GT2, and that was the real Pikes Peak with dirt sections, not the all-paved crap of today.

Still hoping for Watkins Glen.

Sorry, US tracks aren't relevant unless they only consist of left-hand turns Sad but true unfortunately

 

[Seanspeed]

Well man, this track is crap.

I *love* the Goodwood Festival of Speed, been there 3 times and plan to go many more in the future, but the actual hillclimb layout itself is pretty 'meh'. Its short, its got 1 interesting corner and its only meant for one car at a time, so its inclusion is really a novelty more than anything. Not to mention it looks ridiculous with hardly anybody in the spectator areas. If you've ever gone there, its usually jam-packed.

This, along with the Top Gear Test Track, are really just novelties. I'm sure some people will enjoy it and its not like I wouldn't spend time on it, giving it a go for leaderboard positions in certain classes, but its not a 'racing track', which is what I really want out of these sorts of games.

I just think the history of the track is cool, and to race on something like that is so Polyphony.

I think you might be confusing the Goodwood Circuit with the Goodwood Hillclimb. The circuit is/was an actual track used for racing. The hillclimb is a one-way path up through the estate mainly used for demo'ing vehicles for the Festival of Speed.
