Northern Isle Speedway - Infield is a fictional location that only appears in Gran Turismo Sport. As the name states, it is the area within the Northern Isle Speedway circuit, and it serves as the setting for numerous challenges within the games Mission Challenge mode.
The infield doesn't have defined circuit. Instead, several short tracks are set up within the area for Group B rally cars to tackle, similar to the Coffee Break challenges from Gran Turismo 4 and Gran Turismo 6. The surface itself is slippery (moreso in 5-4 and 6-5), and it is easy for the car to lose traction. All cars are automatically applied with BoP (Balance of Performance) and the Sports: Soft tyres. These settings cannot be changed.
Northern Isle Festival[]
The challenges held in the infield course is named Northern Isle Festival, with pickup trucks exhibited around the course and a stage for music concerts installed on one side of the track.
