The “Course Maker” in GT6 remains as one of the game’s last unreleased features – and the one fans are anticipating the most. We haven’t heard much about the new tool in GT6, though, which is expected to be a significant upgrade over the course maker we last saw in GT5.

Kazunori Yamauchi last spoke about the feature when he mentioned he was beta testing the new app during the Goodwood Festival of Speed last year, and an odd, unreleased TV commercial for the feature was published by a UK ad agency back in February.

Although some may have given up on the Course Maker, it’s apparently still coming, according to Kazunori Yamauchi’s recent comments in an interview with JeuxVideo. “For now, the only planned update is concerning the course maker,” Kazunori said when asked about additional customization features in GT6. “It’s still in progress, but it takes us more work than expected.”

When pressed for more information about what’s to come for the game, Kazunori added, “There will be new cars, yes, but not new tracks.” Of course, that would cross out any chance of Pikes Peak coming to GT6 – another question he shot down with a straightforward “no”. He did confirm the Peugeot 208 T16 Pikes Peak would be coming to the series eventually, though.

Although he was evasive on other questions about GT7 and the FIA Online Championship announced last year , he did add a comment on the sound: “We’ve been working on the next gen sound for 5 years, so they [the sounds] will change. I can’t tell you what will change at the moment, but they will change.”
