Hockenheimring

Formula One returned to Germany for this past weekend’s titular race. After a two year absence, the returning Hockenheimring delivered in the closing stages of the race. While the chaos has since cooled down, we’re heading back to the circuit, albeit in a virtual capacity.

F1 returned to the Hockenheimring for the first time in two years for the German GP. While one of the season’s more relaxed outings, it wasn’t without a few surprises.

The fourth and final scheduled race weekend of the month featuring the F1 circus is upon us, and Codemasters are once again taking the opportunity to pair it with an in-game look at their upcoming title. With F1 2016 set to release in three weeks’ time, this will be the final onboard hot lap before the sport’s summer break and the game’s release.

A German automotive news site, Auto-Presse.de, may have discovered a new real-world track set to debut in Gran Turismo 5: the Hockenheimring. The rumor comes from an SLS AMG press event hosted at the circuit by Mercedes-Benz, where media members were offered the chance to set a few hot laps of their own before riding along with five-time DTM champion Bernd Schneider. A GT5 demo was also on-hand for handling comparisons.
