Gran Turismo 5 is almost here. Just today, the game’s worldwide release date was revealed to the public. Shortly after that, Polyphony Digital saw fit to lift the curtain on the 1,031 cars that will be included in the game. The only major news left to share with the public is Gran Turismo 5’s selection of tracks, and we’ve got it for you right here, right now.

Seventy-one total tracks have made their way into the finished game, split between Gran Turismo Originals and such real world circuits as Daytona, Suzuka, and the Top Gear Test Track. Gran Turismo 5 is set to feature the most extensive multiplayer options the series has ever seen, including the My Lounge social-networking hub, and having 71 tracks to race on should keep the experiece fresh indefinitely.

As a franchise, Gran Turismo has been around so long (and been so successful, having sold over 55 million copies) that its original tracks are nearly as recognized as many real world racing circuits. The ubiquitous High Speed Ring track, for instance, has been around since the very first version of the game, and naturally it makes an appearance in Gran Turismo 5. We know how good the game’s tracks can look thanks to the many trailers that have been released. No doubt many players are eager to discover what surprises the new courses hold.
