Race the streets of Tokyo in this popular highway route used by street racers in the day.
Appears in: Wangan Midnight series, Tokyo Xtreme Racer series, Gran Turismo Sport and a popular mod for Asseto Corsa
4 minutes on this course is on par for very fast cars. The very fastest break 3:30. Do you think you have what it takes to master this track? It comes down to nothing more than experience. Go ahead, see what you can do.
As a street circuit unlike other street circuits (and one which I have actually either driven, or been driven on), this is a breath of fresh air; it is comprised entirely of freeways instead of narrower surface streets. In fact, parts of C1 may have inspired the layouts of Special Stage Routes 5 and 11 (especially the longer full course of Route 5, as well as its shorter Clubman configuration) from the Gran Turismo series.
In fact GT was not the first game with a track inspired with the C1 Loop. Its influence was actually first seen in Ridge Racer, where various tracks across the whole franchise (such as Seaside Route 765 from the original and Midtown Expressway from Rave Racer) incorporated sections of freeways which bore a strong resemblance to the C1 Loop. In addition, the Tokyo Xtreme Racer series (except for the Drift spinoff, which used mountain roads instead) also featured the Shuto Expressway.
