Local Rumours Suggest Bathurst Circuit Scanned for GT
Some new rumours have been hitting the GTPlanet forums, as Polyphony Digital have been reported to be scanning another real-life track – the Mount Panorama Circuit at Bathurst, Australia.
(Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo 6, Next-Gen, PS3)
"As far back as 2006, the Polyphony team have expressed interest in the historic circuit, with Kazunori remarking in an interview regarding GT:HD that “Bathurst is in our roadmap”. Sure enough, during this year’s Bathurst 12 Hour race in February, information began to surface of a Polyphony Digital presence at the circuit."
reaaaad carefully. What you said is probably true in that they were finally allowed to get a license for it. Nissan "invited" back, PD goes in for the kill. I'm only 50% confident that's probably what happened.
Sadly, yeah, if they're only photographing and doing base work now, it's going to be a while before we see it... but, at least they're listening to most requested tracks, like Spa and Bathurst.
I bet Polyphony finally gave Bathurst some attention after the news that Nissan would re-enter the Australian Supercars Championship.

but lets be real, it will probably be 6 months before we get the track.
