agreed nicky, I've seen the Hock too. So that's definitely in.

They don't seem to like Canada either Razz

Chris, I see four dots in Japan, but you've named 5 locations?

by **Matt** Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 21:25

No Fuji then Wink

It did seem to be a GT 'exclusive' track. So I guess no suprises there. I mean what other tracks could we realistically want in FM4 from Japan? Sugo? Autopolis?

by **Biggsy tv** Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 21:33

Our friends on other forums are saying that World Tour tends to mean real world places. Montserrat etc would class as real world as Montserrat exists (just no track) however, Sunset Peninsula, Maple Valley wouldn't be on there. So the second dot south east USa could be Daytona.

Its all theories though.

Intriguing. There's more announcements expected soon I believe. Plenty of time to get more tracks out etc. The lack of Southerm Hemisphere is bizarre.
I see what you mean about 'real world' but then even though Monserrat is a real area there is no race track there so.... how does that work?

Has there ever been a southern hemisphere forza track though?

by **Matt** Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 21:58

One could argue Blue Mountains was...

As I said before, Tsukuba and Motegi are geographically so close they would both be where the dot I've pointed to is. The dot I've pointed to as Fuji is perfectly placed for that circuit's real-world location.

Brno is actually significantly further East than that node. It's definitely not Brno unless they messed up their geography.

Could it be Eurospeedway Lausitz? Thats not as far east as Brno and looks like its near where the node is.

You'd think sunset peninsula would be in California....unless the sun sets in the east over there...

by nickyf1 Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 23:43

It is odd, seeing as the East coast of the USA sees the sun rise first.

Hockenheim has already been confirmed! Razz

Another Florida/Floridian track perhaps.... Wink

by nickyf1 Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 23:52

Daytona? Homestead?

With the inclusion of Daytona and Indianapolis and a tie up with NASCAR in GT5,the inclusion of Indy makes me wonder if Turn 10 have yet to announce some sort of tie up with Indycar, NASCAR or Grand-Am?

Such a tie up would be extremely beneficial for both Indycar and Grand-Am. Having real life series in a game like Forza 4 with its World Tour season mode would be fantastic.

by Stonewall458 Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 23:53

I'm almost certain Sunset PENINSULA is in Florida.

by nickyf1 Thu 28 Jul 2011 - 23:55

Oh, i'm certain it is too.

But, California has a few peninsulae (?) too.
