When the Nurburgring Nordschleife was first revealed in Gran Turismo 4, it was hard to complain about the missing GP circuit. However, youre lying to yourself if you havent wished to drive through those tire barriers separating the Nordschleife from the rest of the track, and everyone has been anxiously hoping for it to appear in Gran Turismo 5.
Thanks to GTPlanet user tlongman, we may have just found the answer to that question in one of the most unlikely of places: the latest trailer for Gran Turismo PSP! In the first scene, a Nissan GT-R Spec V and Corvette ZR-1 pull out of a pit garage and are then seen racing on the Nordschleife. The problem, of course, is that the Nordschleife by itself has no such garage area thats only found on the GP circuit. Sure enough, further detective work reveals the grand stands across from the pits are virtually identical to those found at the real track. (Note: The grand stand area along the pit straight of the GP circuit has been undergoing heavy construction for the past two years, and does not look the same today. You must look for pre-construction photos to see the same stands found in the video.)
