How close does the game get to the real place?

In the game

Interlagos is in Gran Turismo 7 in its Grand Prix layout, run anticlockwise. This is the Senna S, the downhill left and right at the start of the lap named after Ayrton Senna, who grew up in São Paulo.

The real place

Interlagos opened in 1940 between two artificial lakes in the south of São Paulo, which gave the area its name. It was renamed after Brazilian driver José Carlos Pace after his death in 1977 and hosts the São Paulo Grand Prix, famous for close finishes and sudden rain.

Visiting

The circuit is in the south of the city and can be reached by train to Autódromo station. Tours and track days are held outside race week; check the circuit's calendar. Grandstands at the Senna S give the best view of the start.
