To be a decent racing simulation, I think having the Nordschelife track should be one of the pre-requisites, it's pretty much the most historic racing track in motorsports.

It isn't too narrow for racing. The actual Nurburgring 24 Hrs endurance has up to 200 cars participating at each moment. Even with the total length of over 20 Km, it's enough to have some fierce competition for places, in each category.

It is hard to master though, and it's not a track that everyone can get right, as it demands insane amounts of concentration to pull off a successful lap.

I love this track, and with the inclusion of the X2010 and the 24 Hrs layout, it has been made more exciting than ever to race in it. 

Actually, I went back to it and managed to lower my fast lap to 4:48.235, almost 34 seconds faster than my former best lap, and there's still some seconds to be shaved of that time, as I did three slight mistakes.

Here's the lap:

Now if you'd only dislike Burnout Paradise and like Split/Second instead...

What level do I have to be to get the X2010?

You'll unlock the Sebastian Vettel X2010 challenge at Level 30, both A-Spec or B-Spec. You can win 3 different X2010s in that challenge, depending on whether you get bronze, silver or gold.

Also, you'll get a free Sebastian Vettel Red Bull livery X2010 when you reach level 35 B-Spec.

I love Nurburgring Nordschleife, gt5 definately has the best version of it so far. Driving it in different weather conditions and different times of day is amazing. Can't help but stare of in the distance now and then when the sun is shining low through the trees and the valley is covered in a light fog.

Still plenty room for improvement for next gen. Watching the real life drive over Nordschleife in the extended ending movie makes me want to book a flight to Germany.

The only track missing from GT5 is Spa Belgium, one of my other favourites. Hopefully they'll add it in DLC. Some more tracks from GT4 would be nice too, for example the NYC track.

Instead of shelving Nurburgring, how about shelving Monza and Laguna Seca for a while. I've been driving on those since the 80's.

Definetly agree 100% here.

Spa-Francochamps would be the best addition to the series, though I also miss some of the classics from previous GTs, such as the NYC track, El Camino or Pikes Peak Climb from GT2.

Would be nice if they added new tracks with future updates.

OMFG that's fast. I bet that after you do a hot lap of these, you can catch flies with chop sticks no problem. The hand animation is weird though, but who cares.

Ah, you should try this in arcade time challenge mode with full damage on, cause you did hit the side pretty hard one time, that might have caused some issued. Or am I just tasking out of my ass here? Is the damage on?

Edited: Hurrah for looking after speaking... I humbly apologize.
