Hong Kong is a street circuit set in the Tsim Sha Tsui district of Hong Kong. The circuit only appears in Gran Turismo 4 and Tourist Trophy.
Circuit Guide[]
The start/finish line begins at Salisbury Road, with Turn 1 approaching just approximately less than 100 m from the line, entering the Avenue of Stars (in real life this section is inaccessible to vehicles). Turn 2 is a flat right kink in the Avenue, followed by a moderate right at Turn 3. Be careful when approaching Turn 3, as you are advised to brake slightly and finding the correct turning point to avoid colliding with the barriers when entering or coming out of the corner. Lifting the throttle before turn 3 is inadvisable as well as you will suffer the same consequences. Turn 4 then directs you into a back alley connecting the Avenue (also inaccessible to vehicles), passing two small corners before rejoining Salisbury Road in the opposite direction at Turn 7. After approximately 200 meters is Turn 8 which turns right into Kowloon Park Dr, the longest section of the circuit. An uphill-left kink, Turn 9 comes at the Hong Kong Heritage Discovery Center before reaching a hairpin (Turn 10) into Canton Road. The braking point before Turn 10 is near the end of the barriers on the right where the road leads to a flyover. It's a short drive down Canton Road before you turn left (Turn 11) into Haiphong Road for a moderate distance, then turning right at Turn 12 into Nathan Road, where the pit entry is located near the end of Turn 13, a left-hander into Middle Road. This section including Turn 14 run underneath a car park building, rejoining Salisbury Road at Turn 15 (final corner) to begin another tight lap around the circuit.
