The Wizard is looking forward to The Ring coming to Forza 5...

I was recently called a wizard by members of the Forza community for spotting a clue that Long Beach was coming to Forza 5 a whole month before it was announced. You can read what turned out to be quite a funny thread here: I may have found a clue to an upcoming track

Well the wizard is back on top form, I hope, and I’m fairly sure I’ve spotted another new track coming to Forza 5. This time it’s not a new one but an old classic, and a monster, The Nurburgring.

In the Meguiar car pack announcement look at the photo of the Alfa GTV-6… Where is that?! It’s not Spa, it’s not Bathurst, I reckon it’s the Eifel Mountains, home of The Ring. I also reckon there will be more track layouts including the full circuit that links the GP track and the Nordschleife.

Right, well that’s it for now, I’m off to do the lottery… I’ve got a good feeling about tonight!

Why do I get an overwhelming sense of impending doom here? Odd.

-edit

I will give you that it does indeed look quite a bit like that certain track that shall bot be named. Still, that sense of doom persists…XD

I’d be cautious jumping to that conclusion…it could be Spa, taken from between Turn 15 - T16 (taken from the outer side of the track looking inwards).

Be nice if it was true, would cut the forum traffic down in half (after the inevitable slavish praise) :slight_smile:

Certainly does look like the Ring…good catch

Ring

I’d love to say so, but I think it’s just SPA. I thought I saw the ring on the Smoking Tyre Car pack trailer, @~0:32, but nope…

Another good spot! I agree that looks like The Ring! I was right about Long Beach and that came out first so maybe The Ring will be next. I hope so, I love the GP circuit and I hope that’s included! That’s what makes Nurburgring such a good additional track, you get the North Ring with all its sections, the GP track and the whole lot linked together.

Abra-funking-kadabra! What have I got up my wizard’s sleeve?!

The futures so bright, I gotta wear shades.

Maybe I’ll go drive Spa later, and take a look. There’s more than enough detail there to match some landmarks, but I just can’t find the motivation yet this morning.

Get the Ring back

You clever little…

Hmmm I did look at that image and dismiss it as the Kemmel straight. But after watching a video the right hand side of the track has a dense row of trees and there is a high level catch fence all the way down. After 1200+ laps of Spa I can say that is NOT anywhere on Spa that I know of. If it is the ring then I would say it is take between the area after Flugplatz and Aremberg.

It’s Spa. :frowning:

Damn! I guess it’s the beginning of the Kemmel straight. I thought the trees were higher there.

And please, you could have used a nicer car to prove me wrong!!!

Maybe Uberchaun works for Turn 10 and he has just done this to throw us off the scent! There are trees along that bit of the Kemmel straight… and a bridge!

My cover’s been compromised!

This is actually about a third of the way down the straight, though.

Oh well, I guess Lightening doesn’t strike twice. I’m off to see what else I can find up my Wizard’s Sleeve.
