So that's why the X2010 was delivered.

So we should find out this day if the new track will be an oval or more than that.

The only speed test that is included in the pack, "Special Stage Route Oval X" is between 12km straight on one side alone, boasts a total length 30km

ONE track, one straight, but it's 30km long. I can't comprehend exactly how they can pull that off.

They don't say that there only one straight, but that the length of one straight alone on one of its sides is 12 Km.

Well I was thinking it was the only straight for top speed testing. I believe it's the only straight that we've seen, which has the Meter markings (I don't know the word for that).

In the recently released Acura NSX Concept video I believe you can see glimpses of both straights, both of which having distance markers. So it's either a "standard" elongated oval or a wedge shaped oval (with a short banked corner and a long one). The latter would be more interesting.

 

[signmc]

Hw exactly how do you steer this thing, it has no steering rack, wheres the tie-rod ends??? lol

Mind power ^^^^ lol

Thirty KILOMETERS!! haha I thought about it having short and long banked corners, but it didn't really stick because I was stuck on "ONE 12km straight". It seems a lot more plausible now, since you mentioned the Red Bull cars, too. Awwwww shhhhhucks.

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Lol that's the rear suspension of an F1 car.
So do you mind showing me what you would call the steering rack on that pic please?

 

[Nish]

You steer it how alot of "driver's" on GT do, let the wall turn you .

 

[JamboGT]

This is of a F1 car, shows you whats missing

Ahh the modern front engined F1 car

 

[Nish]

Ahh the modern front engined F1 car

Front wheel drive too .

 

[GT-Roadie]

The F1 2012 comes with 2 engines? A rear and a front engine? That's very surprising!

 

[20B_4ME]

And the exhausts exit at the front! Forget the Renault foward facing exhaust, why not adapt a front exit exhaust! lol

 

[JamboGT]

Front exit exhaust can pass gases over the front wing! More downforce!

 

[MONSTAR-1]

Someone get Adrian Newey on the phone, this guy could be onto something..

 

[88FoxBodyFan]

The people at Red Bull have excellent packaging techniques to be able to stuff an FF drivetrain into that body.

 

[PletdeKoe]

Someone get Adrian Newey on the phone, this guy could be onto something..

hahahahahaha great remark!

 

[Mush_nz]

So that's how Newey does it!

 

[signmc]

LMFAO sorry guys I picked a picture of the web. did not notice that bit (you know being the back with engine and all).

This IS kinda what I tried to show

Can you see what Im getting at though?

 

[steve30x]

Never mind how do you steer it , but unless there is an LCD screen inside the cockpit you wouldnt be able to see where you are going.

One more tweet:

Kaz_Yamauchi: 明日というか今日、土曜日の１３時から、オートサロンのトヨタブースでトークライブに出ます。スバルの辰巳さんや飯田章さんと一緒。テーマはニュルブルクリンクとのこと。

Kaz_Yamauchi: Tomorrow, or perhaps I should say today, starting Saturday at 13:00, I will participate in a live talk at the Toyota booth of the [Tokyo] Auto Salon. I will be together with Mr. Tatsumi and Mr. Iida from Subaru. The topic [of discussion] will be the Nuerburgring.

 

[Stavelot]

BRZ/86 at Nurb with Gazoo?

 

[Aloha62_2]

PD buying the ring?


Nah, a bit above budget I suspect.

 

[spunwicked]

Could be a joint Sony/Toyota/Subaru purchase...

That would grant GT5 Nurburgring exclusivity.

 

[Coiler]

the more I think about that the more I think it's a good idea!

 

[maxpontiac]

That would grant GT5 Nurburgring exclusivity.

As much as I don't like exclusivity when it comes to cars, I like the sound of the Ring being a GT5 exclusive. They have the best version, hands down.👍

 

[tribolik]

the more I think about that the more I think it's a good idea!

Great more exclusives is just what we need...

So we will have the ring and nissan in GT but if I want do drive road america or laguna seca with a detomaso pantera Ill have to buy forza and if I want to drive a porsche I will have to buy a need for speed game... great idea

Imagine GT bought the Rights to the Nurb. Oh man! That would be hilarious.
