Create Your Own Tracks
How to Use the GT6 Track Path Editor ①
What is the GT6 Track Path Editor?
The GT6 Track Path Editor allows you to create tracks on a tablet device and transfer them to Gran Turismo 6 where they can be saved and raced on as user-created tracks. The app that is used to create track data on your tablet device is called the GT6 Track Path Editor (hereafter referred to as the Track Path Editor). The tool that is used to load and save track data in Gran Turismo 6 is the Track Path Importer.
System Requirements
In order to use the Track Path Editor, you will need an Android™ or iOS tablet device. In order to transfer the track data you have created into Gran Turismo 6, your tablet device will need an internet connection, and you will need to be signed in to the SEN (Sony Entertainment Network) account that you use to play Gran Turismo 6.
User-Created Tracks
Tracks created and saved using the Track Path Editor and the Track Path Importer are known as user-created tracks. User-created tracks can be raced on in Free Run and Arcade modes, and can also be used in the Community area and the Open Lobby. Please note, however, that user-created tracks differ from other existing tracks in the following ways:
- In the Open Lobby and in the Community area's club events or in a club lobby, user-created tracks can only be selected when a room is created. You cannot select user-created tracks when changing tracks after a room has been created.
- Events which use user-created tracks cannot be saved on your HDD or in the Club Owner's Storage.
- "One-way Tracks", where the start point and finish line are in different places, cannot be used in the Community area or the Open Lobby's time trial and drift trial modes.
In Free Run and Arcade modes, as well as in the Gallery's "Track" section, you can also try driving on samples of user-created tracks. These samples are a good way to experience the various themes available to you when creating your own tracks.
