Grand Valley East (in purple) superimposed onto the whole circuit.
Grand Valley East is a fictional course that appears in all Gran Turismo games up until Gran Turismo 6, except in Gran Turismo 3: A-Spec.
Overview[]
Similar to its full version, Grand Valley East consists of sweeping hairpins, undulating corners, and slight elevation changes throughout. About 35% shorter than the full Speedway, this variation omits the large crested s-bends, the tight hairpin, the bridge and tunnel section, and the final chicane. Nimbler, lighter sports cars will thrive here over heavy grand tourers and high-horsepower supercars.

Trivia[]
- In the PAL version of Gran Turismo 2, when entering the first race of the MR Challenge in Special Events, the name of this track is misspelled as Grand Valley WestCourse. However, upon entering the race, the name of this track is correctly listed as Grand Valley East in the race menus.
- Although this track, including its full version, are not included in Gran Turismo Sport or Gran Turismo 7, the Circuit Experience icon resembles Grand Valley East's map, although has been simplified, removing turns 10 and 11.
- The Grand Valley South layout in GT7's version of Grand Valley is based on the East layout as appearing in the old iterations of the track.
