Default TO ALL Gran Turismo fans! Nurburgring is coming

It appears that a new free downloadable track, in the form of the famous Nurburgring, is going to be available to download for Gran Turismo 5 Prologue!



Ooops! Edit: (In an attempt to make this info fit this forum.......)

Is the Nurburgring to complicated and too long for normal gamers to care?? Will this improve GT5:P? Does Forza have the most detailed replication of the track? Compared to GT4? Will it look better on the PS3 or Xbox 360??

I hate Warner Dolby Digital 5.1 releases. Especially on New Line's catalog, never forget the former 7.1 support from them.
Eagerly awaiting The Dark Knight and Pineapple Express.

No clear indication other than before the fall update of the damage. I hope it's sooner rather than later, like many fans I'm sure.

Link to more info.

WTF????

I have it and I think so. I don't know why people still call it a demo, it has more to offer than most racing games.

It's pretty simple, really, if you enjoy sim racers then absolutely yes, buy the game today. It's the best sim racer on a console. The spec II update also added some nice touches. If you prefer less realistic physics and arcade-style controls in a racing game then no, and probably hell no at that.
