New Tracks

“Gran Turismo Sport” Update 1.11 is also going to introduce new tracks. The first one is called Monza Circuit, and it is set on the outskirts of Milan in northern Italy, specifically in the beautiful green National Monza Park. The circuit was completed in 1922, so it is considered the third oldest race track following Brooklands and Indianapolis.

The Monza Circuit will have two configurations: one with the chicanes (classic) and another one without. Either way, the configurations are designed to test the skills of drivers who want to race the track.

Another track that’s coming to “Gran Turismo Sport” this Friday is called Autodrome Lago Maggiore. Unlike the Monza Circuit which is based on a real track, this one is fictional. Autodrome Lago Maggiore will come in different layouts, and they are listed below:

Autodrome Lago Maggiore - Center Layout (Reverse: “Center II” Layout)

  • This 1.7km track is a short version of the course that uses the front straight of the Lago Maggiore Circuit. It features a high-speed section and it also has a reverse layout.

Autodrome Lago Maggiore - East Layout (Reverse: “East II” Layout)

  • According to the developers, this 3.6km layout is the short version of the course that connects the front straight of Lago Maggiore to the east side of the track. It comes with a challenging S-curve section. It also comes with a reverse layout.

Autodrome Lago Maggiore - West Layout (Reverse: “West II” Layout)

  • The last layout is a short version of the course that connects the front straight of Lago Maggiore to the west side of the track. It is actually the longest when compared to the Center Layout and East Layout because it is 4.1km long. It features a steep uphill and downhill section at the end of the straight. Like the other two, this one has a reverse layout as well.
