20 Locations, Over 70 Variations:
Beautiful Tracks Recreated in True-to-Life Detail

Gran Turismo 5 features 20 racing locations with over 70 track variations, all beautifully recreated with more accuracy and precision than ever.

For example, the north loop of the Nurburgring, which attracted much attention when it was first introduced in Gran Turismo 4, is now recreated more precisely and with more detail than ever before. On top of the minor ups and downs of the track elevations, course-side structures and graffiti on the track surface, which give Nurburgring its unique character, have all been recreated with near-perfect accuracy.

Of course other tracks in the game have also been built to the highest quality ever seen in the series. The following are descriptions on some of the new tracks to be featured in Gran Turismo 5.

From the world-famous Coliseum towering over the first corner of the course, you’ll be racing past many historical structures spread all over this city.

In the first half of the course, the most prominent structure is one of the most famous tourist spots in Rome: the Coliseum. The course wraps around this national monument.

San Gregorio street continuing from the Coliseum. Soon after this comes the tightest corner on this track, a sharp right turn.

Tuscany

Number of turns: 11

A Gravel Course Set In Historical Orcia Valley, Italy

This is a gravel track based on the Orcia Valley, the world heritage site located in the Tuscany region of central Italy. It is a technical track with a layout maximizing the hilly terrain to create dynamic ups and downs and mid to low speed corners.

The Tuscany course is surrounded by wide open pastoral plains. Because of the hilly terrain, the course’s ups and downs are much more drastic than other tracks.

A wide open stretch of track, barely wide enough for two cars, for running full throttle.

A left corner in the midsection of the track. Because the track follows the landscape, it is reverse banked.

The Top Gear Test Track

Total length: 2820.0m
Longest straight: 350.0m
Range of elevation difference: 3.5m
Number of turns: 9

The Original Airfield Runway Track from the BBC TV Series TopGear

This is the 2.8km short track used in various parts of the UK’s Top Gear TV series. Set at the airfield of Dunsfold Park in Surrey, England, it has a characteristic figure 8 layout. Stay tuned to find out what sorts of wild events are planned in the game for this location.

The starting and finishing line. Because it is a specially set course using an airfield runway, there is no pit facility.

Though at first glance it looks to be a simple layout, there are cones and cornerstones to create a very technical section.

You can see how the runway extends here. In front of the white building on the far left is the starting and finishing area.
