Going off memory, the ground textures were much worse in the academy "demo".
That's not how I've interpreted the information so far TBH, at least not regarding real existing tracks like Infenion. Now hopefully they have modelled the alternative courses Robert mentions at Infenion otherwise how can they talk about 70+ tracks based on 20+ environments, so that kinda makes sense that Infenion/Monza/and so on will all have alternative layouts I get the impression that the course generator is somewhat removed from the pre-made tracks.
While it looks like you can choose a theme (location) that resembles the area around one of the pre-made tracks, for example given the picture of the 4 locations in the demo (hopefully more in the real game) the "Germany in spring" theme could be a very Nurbergring-ish setting and the other location I've seen named is Toscana which looks like the recently show rally track (with a paved alternative too?), I don't think it extends to picking the actual Nurbergring/whatever layout and then being able to modify it (which I think is what you're suggesting?). It sounds more like you'll be able to pick a location (backdrop effectively) then adjust some parameters like course length/# of & sharpness of corners per sector/etc then the game will generate a somewhat random course using those choices.
Well, that's it sounds like to me ATM.
Damn I'm looking forward to this game. Hopefully the gaming gods will see fit to bless me with the cash for a replacement ps3 by the time it comes out ...

There's really no need to release GT6 on PS3. If you've followed GT5, you'd know that it has the most content any GT has ever had.
You're probably right.
According to here: http://us.gran-turismo.com/us/news/d5297p3.html
Environment (theme ?) selection is like this:

It's their BIGGEST franchise.
The only bundle I know of right now, is a limited edition blue console bundle being released in Japan.

That's actually been an option since GT4, believe it or not.
Building externals aren't copyrighted, so they can't prevent its use on those grounds. Sounds like a bunch of car-hating horse fanatics don't want their racetrack used for cars.
Ah, from the full artcile, they protest the use of the flags. they don't want to be associated with harmless go-karting when they sport is dangerous bare-back riding...kinda the opposite of the RfoM Liverpool Cathedral controversy!

They want a more tangible benefit than that, I presume. Although personally I would have thought being featured in Gran Turismo is a pretty big piece of free advertisement. I presume they're taking the noble horses versus dirty carts approach in order to express their grievance, considering the reference to the racetrack.
Don't we have some kind of precedent for this? Is there IP rights on such cities? There was an issue with the original Resistance featuring a real cathedral, but I think that church lost its case. I don't know what this is like in Italy, but certainly it is not the only Italian location to feature in the game. But racetracks do typically get licenced, and perhaps they think they found a loophole by claiming rights to the horse racing track, hence the reference to that?
Skidmarks being tested out at GamesCom on the Top Gear track.
EDIT:
The horse race track is a public place on all other days. Imho they are just plain stupid to protest obvious PR for their little spot on the earth. Besides the race i though the town was like plenty of other small towns in that area.
You must have been posting when I was. There's no copyright on the exterior of buildings and public places, hence people can take holiday snaps without paying licensing fees! These guys are citing the flags as being unfairly used.
I can recognise the track, but it goes to show how far we are from recreating actual places, as the Top Gear runways aren't surrounded by flat, luscious grass! There should be areas of rough, tall grass and the like. Overall it's too clean. But in terms of gameplay, this is an awesome feature. Everyone can grab their favourite cars that have done laps and see how they do in game. I wonder how much Top Gear will link into GT5? The website could well ahve its own leaderboards, for example.
