How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Fuji International Speedway in Gran Turismo 7 has its long main straight, about 1.5 km, and twisting final sector, with the cone of Mount Fuji rising over the circuit on clear days.

The real place

Fuji Speedway opened in 1966 at the foot of Mount Fuji and is owned by Toyota. It hosted the Japanese Grand Prix in 1976 and 1977 and again in 2007 and 2008, and today hosts the Fuji 6 Hours of the World Endurance Championship and Super GT races.

Visiting

Fuji Speedway is in Oyama, about two hours from Tokyo by car or bus. Mount Fuji is clearest in the early morning and in the colder months. The Fuji Motorsports Museum next to the circuit is worth a stop.
