Nurburgring Nordschleife: New GT5P DL Content?


The most demanding race circuit ever built, the Nurburgring Nordschleife may be headed to GT5P. Of course, the Nurburgring being a downloadable content for GT5P is anything but certain. But the emergence of vids and pictures around the internet sure make these rumors seem promising.

Every GT fan is probably craving for the rumor to be true. After all, there is truly something about that track that just captivates everyone.

For one thing, it is an incredibly huge track with narrow roads, tight twisty sections, some sweeping areas and one ridiculously long (and fast) straight.

It is tough enough to memorize the track, but its layout is unforgiving due to the fact that run-off areas are lacking. One mistake could easily cost you the race.

It is the sheer challenge that this race track presents that make it the stuff of folklore. This is a track that brings terror to anyone who is serious in driving a car around it to the limit. Anyone's commitment is severely tested.

But to one who is disciplined enough to master the track, and is able to muster the inner strength to be fully committed, driving around the Nordschleife can undoubtedly be one of the most rewarding experience for any driver. Beating your personal best after an intense drive is surely satisfying as you can learn what you are truly made of.

It is no wonder why some Europeans buy high performance cars specifically to drive around the Nordschleife.

But for the rest of us who really don't have any access to that track, Gran Turismo is the closest we could ever get to it.

All the fans could do now is to plead to Polyphony Digital to make the rumors a reality.
