Mid-Field Raceway

'''Mid-Field Raceway''' (written as '''Midfield Raceway''' in GT2) is a medium-length racetrack. It first appears in Gran Turismo 2, and was featured in subsequent entries, except for Gran Turismo 5, Gran Turismo Sport, and Gran Turismo 7. It was added to Gran Turismo 6 (as part of Update 1.16, with variable time). It is one of a few circuits in the series to feature a 'Figure 8' layout, with the 180-degree turn 4 passing over the main straight. It consists of a long straight, combined with several mid-to-high speed corners and one hairpin turn. The numerous heavy braking areas, notably into turns 1 and 8, can provide crucial overtaking points. The first corner, which in Gran Turismo 2 and 3 was a parabolic style corner, was slightly modified in GT4 to make it sharper and shorter. Turns 2 and 3 (the first chicane) were also slightly adjusted to compensate for the alterations to turn 1.
