We’re hoping for a new release date today, but in the absence of anything solid, here’s another juicy rumour for the pile: Gran Turismo 5 will feature the Nürburgring – at night.
Yes, the sleuths have been out in force this morning, picking up on a photograph of Yamauchi driving around a nighttime course with part of the on-screen map seeemingly deliberately hidden.
Here’s the photo, which is from Esquire magazine:
See where the arrow’s pointing to? It’s blacked out. Why? Well, GTPlanet member Scope72 thinks that track is the infamous German course, the GP course, which is pretty much confirmed in this shot. Does that mean we’ll get a full 24 hour race on what Jackie Stewart dubbed the Green Hell?
Of course, GTPlanet have mentioned this a while back, but the image is new, so we reckon that’s the first shot of the nighttime course.
If so, Gran Turismo 5 just became even more unmissable. We can’t wait.

On a positive note the big Madrid launch party that was scheduled just before the November 3 Launch date has been rescheduled for the 24th and 25th November. Game can’t be much later than that…

UM… ok but doesn’t look like it to me.

Why wouldn’t GT5 feature the Nürburgring during night? It took them 17 years to develop it. I’m going to be pissed if it doesn’t cook for me!
