Nurburgring games

[chas100]

I want to get hold of a racing game with a fairly accurate version of the Nurburgring circut. I would prefer something on PC but have access to a PS2 if required. I think someone suggested GT3 on the PS2, is that right? Do they make it for the PC? Any suggestions?

GPL
Nascar 2003
GTR, maybe GTR2
rFactor

They all have the ring available

Its on GT4 not GT3. If you end up going down the PS2 road.

Gran Turismo 4 is near as dammit to spot on as you will get. Even has all the grafiti in the right places!!
Clarkson used it to see if he could get a better time in real life in a Honda NSX.

Thought that was Leguna Seca?

Although excellent (having never been to the ring) I've heard the GT4 vserion is missing some elevation compared the the real thing.

I'd go with one of the PC Options, probably rfactor as I thought the car handling on GT4 wasn't as good as they claimed it to be.

There are two versions for Rfactor both very good;

AND

The second one includes somefictional circuits as well that use local roads, but the "proper" track is there too.

I've got it for GTR2, i found the download for it here....

which also ahs some other fantastic tracks to download!!
The GTR2 download version is far, far superior to GT4!
GTR2 is also one hell of a game.
Enjoy.

Project Gotham 3 on the 360 is the best version I have played, GT4 is a poor game with very dodgy gameplay, it just isn't very fun and not at all realistic like it claims to be. Forza's was pretty good too.

seconded, the only gripe I have and it would be 100% true to life if they sorted it, is the inclines/descents.

in real life the track is MUCH steeper on the hills, the PGR3 version is the best ive played but it would be near 100% true to life if they had only noticed they made it a little flat compared to real life.
