Gran Turismo 7 has 15 Japanese layouts across 8 circuits. Four of the circuits are real, and four were drawn by Polyphony Digital. A fifth real one, SUGO, arrived with update 1.72 on 15 October 2026 and has its own section below.
I checked the real circuits' lengths against Wikipedia on 11 October 2026. The original courses have no real length, so I only say what a guide or the game itself shows.
All 15 Japanese layouts
| Circuit | Layouts | Real or original |
|---|---|---|
| Suzuka Circuit | Full, East | Real |
| Fuji International Speedway | Full, Short | Real |
| Autopolis | Full, Shortcut | Real |
| Tsukuba Circuit | Full | Real |
| Kyoto Driving Park | Yamagiwa, Miyabi, Yamagiwa + Miyabi | Original |
| Tokyo Expressway | Central, East, South | Original |
| Broad Bean Raceway | Full | Original |
| High Speed Ring | Full | Original |
That is seven real layouts and eight original ones. Kyoto Driving Park and Tokyo Expressway also come in reverse or counter clockwise versions, so a guide that counts those will give you a bigger number. Both counts are right. They just count different things.
The real circuits
| Circuit | Length | Corners | Prefecture |
|---|---|---|---|
| Suzuka, Grand Prix layout | 5.807 km | 18 | Mie |
| Suzuka East | 2.243 km | not listed | Mie |
| Fuji, Grand Prix layout | 4.563 km | see note | Shizuoka |
| Autopolis, full | 4.673 km | 19 | Oita |
| Tsukuba, Car Circuit | 2.045 km | 12 | Ibaraki |
Fuji's corner count is disputed on its own Wikipedia page, with 16 in one place and 12 in another, so I leave it out. The lengths are for the real circuits. The game's shortcut and short layouts are cut versions and I have not measured them.
Suzuka
Suzuka is the one I would learn first if you race real cars on a wheel. It is a figure of eight, which is rare, and it asks for everything: the esses in the first sector, the fast 130R, the chicane at the end. The East course is the short piece of it, a quick way to learn the rhythm of the first corners.

Fuji
Fuji has the long straight, so it is where drafting and gearing matter most. The first corner is hard on the brakes and the last sector is technical and slow. The Short course skips part of the layout and is handy for short races.

Autopolis
Autopolis sits in the hills of Oita. It is hilly, with blind crests and a hairpin that punishes a late brake. The Shortcut course is a shorter version. It is the circuit most people leave to the end.
Tsukuba
Tsukuba is the small one. At 2.045 km with 12 corners and a 437 m back straight, you can learn it in a night, and it is the best place to test a new tune. Because it is short, you also get many laps in the time you have.

The original circuits
These do not exist, and so there is no real length to quote.
- Kyoto Driving Park. A fictional city circuit, set in Kyoto. It has three layouts, Miyabi, Yamagiwa and the combination of the two. It came to GT7 from Gran Turismo Sport.
- Tokyo Expressway. A street circuit with Central, East and South sections. The longest layout I found listed is the East one, at about 7.3 km, according to Giant Bomb.
- Broad Bean Raceway. A fictional track that guides sometimes shorten to BB Raceway. There is no official location.
- High Speed Ring. A fictional high speed oval-like circuit that has been in the series for decades. Gear it for top speed.
The fan locations you may have seen for Broad Bean and High Speed Ring come from weather radar guesses by players, not from Polyphony, so I do not repeat them.
New in update 1.72: SUGO
Update 1.72 came out on 15 October 2026 as the first half of Spec IV. It is free and adds Sportsland SUGO, a real circuit in Miyagi Prefecture, called SUGO International Racing Course in the game. Polyphony gives it as 3,586 m with 13 corners and 69.83 m of elevation change. Wikipedia gives the real International Car Circuit as 3.704 km with 12 turns. It hosts Super GT and Super Formula. My Gran Turismo 7 Spec IV update page has the rest of what is in Part 1, and it lists Autumn Ring for Part 2 in December.
The first events there are the European Sunday Cup 400 and World Touring Car 600 and 800. A track guide follows once I have done the laps.
