Nurburgring Nordschleife (in Reverse)

If you voted for this option in GT, you might also like to vote for this more general suggestion - Allow racing on ALL tracks in Reverse

Nordschleife reverse is a totally different beast.

A picture is worth a thousand words, and two mesmerizing videos are worth...?

Anybody still not convinced?

Well driven mate!

I think everyone would be convinced easily.

I've done it several times with some friends, it is great fun and challenging.
Problem is, you have to manually make everyone do an U-turn, and set manually the winner, then everyone quitting.

The Nordschleife is run backwards once a year as a special stage of the Köln Ahrweiler Rally


(starting at 2:36)

This. I want this.

The idea of the nordshliefe backwards appeals. But the idea of having a special A-B with this layout. Oh my... Yes please. That section at the beginning looks excellent!

In Enthusia it was available as reverse, so i dont see any reason to not be in the Gran Turismo too.

The Falklands War? The Südschleife was destroyed in the early 80's.

You might be right but until you can provide a better internet source that is not a free to edit encyclopedia I don't believe you because Wikipedia is a terrible source.

I wouldn't want any real world track in reverse purely for the reason stated earlier about how each corner is designed in a specific way plus it just doesn't seem right! But what would be good, and to be fair added to all circuits, is fog. Watching the ending movie of the 24hr race at the 'ring looked awesome in the fog. Heavy rain can make for some great races so imagine a dry track but with seriously impaired visibility.

No, not hard at all, just so unrealistic it would just be silly.

Having driven several GT tracks in real life, even I sometimes feel I'm back at the track in GT, and this just adds to the immersion of the real tracks I've never been to...

Ironically GT 5 did a slightly better job for reasons I haven't figured out yet, perhaps the removal of hard shadow effected some visual depth, but that's another topic...

Though I think the GT series would benefit greatly from more "gamey" features, this suggestion is just too gamey for me.

There's a real video of it on the first page of this thread.

No reverse for real world tracks. I remember being in a friend only room where we drove the Ring backwards a few laps in GT5. Because it was with friends, it was cool. We didn't race just cruz. We never did it again.

Who are the 13 people that don't know what the legendary Nurburgring is?

Even more alarming: 80+ people who are opposed to having more options.
