GT5 Nurburgring 2010

For those with even a passing interest in motorsports, there’ll be only one thing on the mind this weekend – a small town in Germany called Nurburg.

The next few days will see the annual 24HR race take over the famous Nurburg race track – Nurburgring.

Drivers and racing fans from all over the world will be present in huge numbers during a 4 day festival of all things motoring.

It’s at this event where lucky attendees will be able to experience the latest milestone in the development of Gran Turismo 5 – a bank of interactive pods hosting the very newest Gran Turismo 5 code featuring the Nurburgring in all of its full, twisting banking, flat out glory.

For the first time in the history of the GT series, gamers will be able to test their racing mettle on all three circuits of this iconic course.

So now you’ll have the option – do the 24HR race, get to grips with the full Nordschleife circuit or now try out the shorter but still technically difficult GP track.

Of course not everyone’s going to be lucky enough to make it to Nurburgring this weekend and more’s the shame but not to worry, feast your eyes on these images and look forward to getting your turn on GT5 very soon.

There’s more news to come on Gran Turismo 5 and its going to appear here on PlayStation Blog, gran-turismo.com and Facebook so keep checking back.
