Deep Forest Raceway

Deep Forest Raceway is a fictional circuit that first appeared in the original Gran Turismo, and has featured in every mainline game since, with the exception of Gran Turismo Sport. It returned in Gran Turismo 7 with a redesigned layout.
==Overview==
Deep Forest Raceway is an original track set in a thickly woodened forest in Switzerland, with the back straight on a cliff edge. Like many original circuits, it incorporates several tunnels. Due to the high speed nature of this track, sports cars focusing on raw power, are best suited for this course. Featuring undulating corners, tight banked corners, and long sweeping turns, it is a medium-high speed course. It is a favorite among Gran Turismo players, not just for its scenery, but for its deceptive difficulty to drive quickly.
In Gran Turismo 7, the track was given an extreme redesign, with more barriers being added around the race track within the forested road. The most significant change is the addition of a much longer straight from the tunnel section, leading into a sharp, downhill hairpin turn.

== Easter Eggs ==
 
*At turn 10 in Gran Turismo 7, a herd of goats (presumably Alpine Ibex) can be found on a rock pile behind the outside wall. More goats can be seen on the left side of the riverbed before the first tunnel, and three more can be seen on the left side in between the two tunnels on the backstretch. (Note: The goats can only be seen on Time Trials and Drift Trials)
==Trivia==
*Deep Forest Raceway is Kazunori Yamauchi's personal favorite GT original track.
*All B license tests held on this track are set on the main straight through to the first uphill section after turn 1 (A wide hairpin turn).
*In Gran Turismo 1, license tests held on this track feature a morning skybox as opposed to a sunset one; the morning skybox is also used on High Speed Ring, derived from the one used in that track in the Test Drive demo disc.
*In Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec, Deep Forest Raceway II (Deep Forest in reverse) is raced at sunset, resembling the Gran Turismo 2 and Gran Turismo 1 version of Deep forest, as opposed to the new broad daylight version.
*It was revealed that the track was being given a complete redesign, along with Grand Valley and Trial Mountain. The new version of the track was later included in Gran Turismo 7.
**An easter egg that revealed the track was shown in one of "The Starting Line" trailers, indicating the track's upcoming return in Gran Turismo 7. This Easter Egg did not reveal the redesigned layout, however; it was instead announced on Gran Turismo's Twitter account on December 3, 2021.Gran Turismo on Twitter
** Then, in the State Of Play livestream, it is confirmed to be located in Switzerland.
*Trailers for broadcasted GT World Series events feature what appears to be rainy conditions on the track. However, such conditions is not yet available.
