Le Mans 2010 and GT5

yes this is great news but i still don't get Sirolf if i was taking pictures there i would have jammed my camera as close to the screens as possible or at least zoomed in.
 
According to those photos, I see 12 nascar cars on track! Much more than the 4 we saw at the last E3! Even if it's not the whole field, at least there's more than 4.

On another forum (in middle eastern language) I translated that there is a playable demo of La Sarthe circuit (no names of cars though)!

12 is not nearly enough for NASCAR. I mean, there are crashes that will take out 15 at a time. It simply wouldn't be a "NASCAR Experience" if it didn't have 75% of the grid for it.
 
Sorry if this is posted. :)

Guys, that wasn't GT5 NASCAR, that was the old GT5/NASCAR review video when Kaz went to Texas. The picture of the cars was a real picture, not a GT5 one.

As Sam48 said that was a video frame from a real camera recording.
I think that it's really difficult they will reach the real Nascar amount of cars.
I suppose they can use much more than 16 on those circuits because they are not reach, in detail, as City tracks.
I am not a Nascar fan but after I saw that video I started to think of playing Nascar races with friends... that should be a lot of fun.

You make me thing that its gonna be weird if PD put Nascar in GT5 and dont have full grid, i think they want yo fully represent the series in game.
Just a thought.

Well, I think that the game (series) was always a compromise to reach good quality.
Gran Turismo PSP is limited and it has only 4 cars (which is unreal for any race). GT5 will use PS3 power to go up to 16 and maybe more. In any event also real super gt races and 24 hours series have a lot of cars (as far as I know) but we cannot think to have all of them inside in HD resolution (maybe we'll have it with PS4...)
Just my thought pay2021
 
That's a picture of a real 908, and not a 908 straight off a GT5 demo.

I'm not ruling out the fact that there could be a 908 playable on a demo, but that article is hardly confirmation.
Well, just for reference, here is the original picture:

It's not confirmation, but it surely hints at it.

Anyway, it'll probably be two more days before we get some vids on youtube about it :)

I share your thoughts, IMO they will reach 20 cars in track.
 
In Grey it says "Come Support Team Peugeot Total For the 24H of Le Mans and discover exclusive Gran Turismo 5 on Playstation space" (According to Google Translate).

In Red (up top) it says:
Discover GT5 During the 24 hours of Le Mans
 
Ill go for 12 cars on Busy tracks like Tokyo, and 16 Cars on more open tracks, maybe 8-10 on Small tracks like autumn Ring...
 
Alright here's the FULL translation. Not that it reveals something new, but hey :)

Discover GT5 during the 24H of Mans!

Come support the Peugeot Total Team at the 24H of Mans and discover Gran Turislmo 5 exclusively at the Playstation Area!

The 12th and 13th june 2010,
Playstation has collaborated with Peugeot for the mythical 24H test of Mans 2010, the greatest automotive endurance test of the world. Three Peugeot Sport teams will try to impress once more at la Sarthe at the wheel of 908 HDi FAP's.

The exclusive GT5 demo will be revealed at the Playstation area of 500 square meters, next to the track itself, in the public zone.

Come and discover in avant premiere an ultra realistic virtual version of this mythical track of the 24H of Mans!
 
Wait a minute.. that says "Come and discover in avant premiere an ultra realistic virtual version of the mythical track of 24H of Mans!" To me that sounds like Sarthe is in the Demo!
 
Well, I'm french and the sentence at the end of the Peugeot/Playstation add definitely means that Circuit de la Sarthe is playable in the demo !
 
It's not confirmation, but it surely hints at it.

Anyway, it'll probably be two more days before we get some vids on youtube about it :)

IT DOES confirm, Venez y decouvrir en avant-premiere une version virtuelle ultra-realiste du circuit mythique des 24h du Mans.

It means, come see a preview of the ultra realistic virtual Le Mans 24h Circuit (De La Sarthe)
