The track looks insane, I'd love to give it a go.

You can't really race as such on it though. It seems pointless, a waste of time and resources better spent on other tracks just to satisfy the whim of Kaz.
Almost looks like the real thing. They even made the flaw in the foliage at the top right of the main facade. :lol
I can't wait to see what they can achieve with their next-gen lightning engine though.
Without reading the post and at a glance I thought you photoshopped a blurred car into the first pic.
The track detail looks awesome. Return of point to point races brings hope for Pikes Peak. There's still one DLC track a month after release so there are still plenty of tracks they have planned.

This is great news. The more tracks the better. The lack of tracks in the console racers these days is frustrating and severely limits their value in my eyes. Bring on GT6.
Those screenshots look outstanding.

Not actually that important
This.
What track, what race? There's no racing at Goodwill's Hill Climb, it's merely a car parade hill road used during the festival of speed, you're confusing things.
I mean, I really hope this wasn't one of the 7 new locations, photo location sure but nothing more than that.
Oh, I think I am. Whoops.

Hillclimbing is a legitimate motorsport.

Nice. And the sound is pretty good in that trailer too.

time trials are actually pretty fun
A 1.86 km time trial up a hill is not fun. I guarantee most people will do it a couple of times at most and then never again.
Seems like they added it in just for the trailer but it's a sign they understand the problem.
Sound is almost always good in PD's trailers...

It'll be the go to course for time trial enthusiasts, of which there are many in the GT community.
Semi-confirmed at this point. We'll probably get an official confirmation next month at gamescom.

They need to get the Wacky Races cars licensed and put in. They have been one of the best parts of the festival last few years.

Right, so like I said out of the millions of people who buy the game most will do it once and never again.

Nice. I love narrow tracks. Looks fun to just glide around it.

The same could be said for the Top Gear course. It's one of the least interesting tracks in the series, but to some it's a lot of fun because of the connection to the show. Not every track is going to have a wide appeal. There are even some that hate the Nurburgring.
That looks seriously precarious lol. Great addition.

Goodwood is RAAAAAD, it was amazing watching the F1 cars last year.

Yeah, I was disappointed with how it looks in-game.

1.86km is very short. That video is 50s long too. Why can't they bring back their grand canyon map, and HD it. Especially with those guys running out of the way. =/
Bring back Pikes Peak... both paved and unpaved... GAH.
Yep. You'd think they'd realize how bad their sounds are if they have to dub over sounds of real cars over their footage. =X

The Top Gear course was another failure by PD. Instead of a fun race of reasonably priced cars we got that awful boring Kombi van race.
I don't know why people keep defending PD's idiotic design choices. I feel this is half the reason why the game doesn't live up to its potential because there are too many blinkered fans drowning out the critics and Kaz probably thinks everything he does is golden.
There are some that hate Nurburgring. I bet the vast majority don't though. Seriously who here was really hoping before the announcement the Goodwood Hill Climb was going to be in GT6?
I didn't expect to see it in a video game and I'm fucking hyped that it's in there. It might seem pointless to you, but I see it as yet another rubber stamp on the piece of paper marked 'we really, genuinely care about cars & motorsport'.

Goodwood has a HUGE history in motorsport so it deserves to be in there as much as the Nordschleife does.
Next people will be complaining there are too many regular cars in the game, missing the point entirely...

It does. It's not as famous as Nordschleife but everyone into motorsport knows all about Goodwood.
Have you been? There's like a billion people there from all around the world.
As nice an inclusion as this is, I think it will make for a better photo location than driving route. (Sorry, I am American... Goodwood does not mean as much to me).
As far as new circuits are concerned, I really hope we get Portimao Circuit. It is a little heavy on hairpins, but man is it challenging. Anyone with RaceRoom should try it out.

The Goodwood Circuit has huge history, however the hillclimb has only been around since the mid-nineties. Only a handful of cars try and set competitive times, but for the rest it's nothing more than a parade. It's not motorsport.
Pretty much this. Same with Spa-Francorchamps, Willow Springs etc too.

The next GT related announcement should come on August 18th when Kaz picks a car at the Concours D'elegance. That car will probably be reserved for GT7 though.

TGTT was included because fans dreamt of it being in GT5 not for some tests. Go online and TGTT is probably one of the most popular tracks if not the most after Nurburgring, on free roam. Thats what this track is going to be.....another track that the fans will love to free roam on, not race. GT5 is not a racing simulator, its a driving simulator so not every track has to be a race track.
Yes.
As if this is the last track they're adding...
The festival is coming up so theyre announcing the addition of the course for the game. Don't be surprised when they announce alot more later, with all the Rumors out there like red bull talking about pikes peak a few years ago , we should be happy when the final game is out
