Kazunori Yamauchi has been speaking to Car Magazine regarding the specially designed 249mph racer – the Red Bull X1 prototype, which features in GT5. In the background to one of the shots we spy the Monaco street circuit, which we’re pretty sure hasn’t been confirmed yet.
The X1 racer is looking pretty awesome too.

I’m a bit sceptical if that is Monaco, but would make sense to show off the ultimate no rules F1 car-ish on that top track.

I don’t know if you were looking at the right picture, because only the last picture shows the Monaco track.
Grey_Ghost13
Yeah looking at the last one, I just can’t see it as monaco, maybe just me. I see the palm trees and the fancy block of flats but I just can’t visualize what corner that may be.

Is it really Monaco? I don’t think it is. I don’t remember any palm trees about the place at Monaco…
The 4th pic is of the Rome circuit, the first is of Spa {??} or Le Mans {??} I think…

grey ghost, its the grand hotel hairpin.

@ Teflon I think the first pic is the nurburgring circuit. You know, the one that’s 10-12 miles long.

It is Monaco. This should rest any doubts: http://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showthread.php?t=95004&page=1925#post4067949

Ah thanks BigAl and Gadbury. You’ve both cleared it up wonderfully for me :)

And here’s me thinking the Monaco circuit might have been appearing on the PSN store for a small fee sometime shortly after the eventual release. Perhaps.

Enough pictures. I want a release date.

the red-bull car looks alot like the caparo t1.

I don’t see why Monaco wouldn’t be in the game, it was in GT4.
tom_lord
Monaco was in previous GT’s so no real surprise. However, if that is the hairpin at Moncao very eagle-eyed! Also, pleased to see a fellow Car Mag reader! They have a full interview with Kaz in the mag this month

Damn, that Red Bull car looks badass.

IF you think that the x1 LOOKS bad ass then wait till you read the specs!

It’ll be a bit of a handful around Monaco.
Not sure i like the CVT transmission.

Thank you Jumping Monks & Gadbury for clearing that up, I stand corrected.
Now RELEASE THE GAME KAZ!
