Layout[]

The Northern Isle Speedway consists of 2 corners. Both corners require you to turn in flat out, pass through the apex at partial throttle, and go flat out again at the exit. The exit of turn 2 is tighter than turn 1 and can send you into the wall if you're not careful. Time your acceleration well to avoid contact with the outer wall. Staying on the outside, however, will let you carry more speed on exit, but it is more difficult to master.

Trivia[]

The gymkhana scene in GT Sport's opening movie; note that it takes place on the main track, instead of the infield.

Due to its short length, it is the only track in Circuit Experience mode to have only one challenge: the one-lap time attack challenge, usually the final test in tracks with multiple sectors.
A scene in GT Sport's opening movie depicts a Ford Focus Gr.B Rally Car in a gymkhana event in the track's oval segment, instead of the infield. However, no such event exist in the game.
The infield course can't be accessed in any gameplay other than the mission challenges, and does not return in GT7.
In GT7, several trackside advertisements were replaced with Toyota Gazoo Racing logos. This change also occurs at Blue Moon Bay, Tokyo Expressway, and Grand Valley.
- In a coincidence of relating to Blue Moon Bay and Northern Isle Raceway (which are ovals) receiving Toyota Gazoo Racing ads, Toyota began using the TGR branding in NASCAR starting from 2025 season, replacing TRD.
