Gran Turismo 5 – Two Nürburgring Preview Videos

Mimaximas has added a couple of more preview videos of Gran Turismo 5 to his Youtube channel, the two most interesting show some racing action on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife.

While the first one lets us enjoy a race of mixed racing cars from TV view, the second takes us around the green hell in a Lexus Sport IS350.

Gran Turismo 5 will be bringing 1000 cars and over 60 tracks to the Playstation 3, including new features such as damage, weather and day/night effects. There’s no date for either the release of the Japanese or the International versions yet.

    Ye! i want to hear how the engine sounds. hope the sound is not as bad as the old GT series. but it looks good.

    bad taste incoming.
    i dont think the music for a race video can be even worser than this.

    What an stupid game, an driving simulator? my ass, as in these videos it shows there is actually no meaning of downforce, nor the speed seams realistic.

    I am sure an circuit build racer beats an C4WRC on the track easily, but it doesnt here. Also over the hill all cars jump the same height, the Lexus driven has way more downforce then the C4WRC wich it is following, but it jumps the same height, not pretty realistic…

    Its a cool game nevertheless :wink: good graphics and nice gameplay for sure. Its only a console game, they will never takeover PC sim racing.

    If you would have watched the Roof Video, you would have seen that the Lexus is faster than the WRC on the straights, but the AI breaks before it crashes into the rallye car as it has no chance to overtake it clean. furthermore you can see the focus slightly drifting in the corners, so the driving behaviour seems to be more realistic than you think.

    Indeed, GT5 is a game and not a simulator…

    Because of gearbox ratios, top speed of rallycars is usually around 180kph. I guess the longest homologated final drive would bump that up to 200-220kph, but that’s it.
