Gran Turismo 5 is taking longer to push to market than most automakers need to bring a vehicle from CAD drawing to the showroom floor, but Polyphony Digital is taking every opportunity to show off just how fantastic the racing simulator will (eventually) be. Spectators arriving at the 24 Hours of Nürburgring were surprised with a series of GT5 demo stations featuring the Grand Prix, Nordschleife, and the 24 Hours courses.

We have been both expecting and demanding that the full Nürburgring experience be included in every copy of the long-awaited game when it finally (hopefully) hits store shelves in time for Christmas, and it looks like our expectations will be met. Check out our ever-increasing gallery of GT5 images below. The first eight shots come straight from Germany, and the quality of the images is very impressive. And make sure to check out the aerial photo of tent city. In true Euro form, almost every virtual vehicle is a wagon.

yeah talk about prolonging the wait... Forza has released how many titles now? And I bet a lot have switched over to Xbox because of that...

That does look outstanding though. But it only gets full marks if they've got the promo team babes out haha.

Gran Turismo 4 came out in 2004...it's been 6 years. I also haven't touched my PS2 in about that long.
