New Nürburgring Track Layouts
Two new layouts for Germany's "Nürburgring" will find their way into the game this month.
- Nürburgring Endurance
- Total Length, 23,864m; Elevation Difference, 300m; Number of Corners, 85; Longest Straight, 2,135m
- The "Endurance" layout combines the "Nordschleife" and the "Grand Prix" courses to produce a track that measures 23,864m in length. This challenging technical course takes a shortcut through the Grand Prix section for a faster return to the Nordschleife and has seen use in races like the Nürburgring Endurance Series (NLS.)
- Nürburgring Sprint
- Total Length, 3,629m; Elevation Difference, 33m; Number of Corners, 12; Longest Straight, 620m
- The "Sprint" layout takes a shortcut at Turn 4 of the Grand Prix circuit to produce a short track that measures 3,629m in length. The tight nature of this layout makes it ideal for exciting races for lower-speed road cars.
Cherry Blossoms in Scapes
- Cherry Blossoms joins Curation in Scapes
- Find in the Featured section

- Gran Turismo 7 will support up to 120FPS with the latest 1.31 Update. PS5 and display capable of 120 Hz output required
