As the title says, which track would you personally like to see represented more in video games? As a kicker, try to not suggest your local track, or else I’d just be wishing for an updated Lime Rock Park.

Me, personally would love to see Autodromo Rafaela, located in Argentina. It’s a 2.8 mile oval with three inner chicanes and they race Turismo Carretera cars on it, amongst others.

Is it terribly challenging? Not particularly, but it’s fun as hell and FAST. The only game it’s currently represented in would be the Turismo Carretera game, and rFactor 1(because the TC game is essentially an rFactor mod).

So, which tracks do you think deserve more recognition in the digital world?

I would love to see Pikes Peak done in Forza, or Watkins Glen

Watkins Glen deserves more. It’s in a number (NASCAR obviously, and Grand Prix Legends) but I’d like to see it on more popular games (forza/GT)

I’d like to see more real world street circuits, Toronto, Trois Rivieres, and St. Pete would be awesome.

Or fantasy street circuits, but with realistic walls, fences, and runoff space. Lining streets with jersey barriers and calling it a day isn’t how it’s done in real life.

Yes! Nothing pisses me off more about tracks like Madrid and London in GT5/6 than the fact they aren’t realistic in terms of barriers and runoff. Hell, some of the “barriers” on the Madrid track are just aluminum poles and ticker tape.

Brain fart.....I was thinking of this, my bad. I don’t think Gran Turismo has this though.

The vapor wear NY GP track looks pretty cool actually, I'd like to try it out. It would also be cool to have a time slider for tracks, so you could try say Le Mans with the mulsanne straight intact. History!

That track you posted look like the corn field version of Indianapolis, and really sketchy too.

Everything is Sketchy when it comes to motorsports in Argentina.

...and this is a third of a mile longer than Indy!

They just put it in with the recent update of Dirt: Rally

Forza 4 has 2 LeMans tracks, one of them having the Mulsanne straight and the other with the little breaks.

Any track that isn’t terribly long deserves recognition. Road America is about as long as I’m willing to go in simulation racing for multiple laps. I kept Forza Motorsport 3 only because it had Fujimi Kaido. I race on those long tracks for the main career, but I don’t like Mulsanne or Catalunya (even with a fast car). If I was racing those in real life.....

Also the Suzuka Circuit isn’t in Project Cars. So I guess the only figure 8 track left in existence isn’t worthy of the game? How come there are no tracks that cross over itself more than once?

It WAS in P:Cars, then Suzuka was like “lol nah we don’t want you guys to use it anymore,” which is why you get the track that’s kinda like Suzuka but isn’t.

It deserves to be in way more games...
