    @ajokay – No, they should use the awesome-but-sadly-underused Rome Night course:

    Although if this image is to be believed, Polyphony Digital didn’t put a whole lot of errot into accurately plotting the city streets.

    @joey-zyla Well that new version is rubbish. Just 4 straights and a swoop round the Colosseum. The original circuit at least had some interesting elements.

    @prisoner-monkeys I would have said the Rome night circuit you’re mentioned. You are right, it was the best and was incredibly underused. But having searched high and low on many maps, as you’ve suggested, I’m not actually sure such a layout exists.

    I’m surprised there is so much resentment for the GT5 version. The entire Colosseum section at the beginning is quite interesting, and has some nice gradient. The chicane is very fast and tricky, and the following sweeping bends are quite nice, before an interesting double apex final corner. I’d have thought that people would only find it boring if they never drove it in anything faster than a hatchback, and so had spent a disproportionate amount of time on the straights. It works as a fast circuit with low lap times. I can’t remember how much I enjoyed the GT3 version, but I definitely found the middle section of constant 90′ corners quite irritating.

    EDIT: This assumes you drove GT5 Rome the correct way- clockwise.

    According to this report

    London is going to have a Formula E street race! I wonder if it will be in the Olympic Park?
