Can someone tell me where on Nurburgring this picture is??

[Kryptonite158]

I found this nice wallpaper and I want to take a pic of my cars in this turn in GT5..but I dont now exactly where it is..anyone know?? Could you give me a section name of the track or sumthin??

 

[freedomweasel]

I think I know where it is, but I unfortunately do not know the names. Though.. it depends on if the photo is facing the direction of travel or not.

If the photo is looking backwards down the track (you'd see the front of a car if it was in the photo):
It looks like it's the first real tight corner, the driving line usually tells you to downshift to 2nd. It's a tight left hander followed by an uphill right. I think it's towards the end of the first section of the track on the AMG events.

disclaimer: I could be totally wrong

Definitely a nice photo.

Yea I thought I had an idea but I wasnt sure which way was straight myself..I was trying to match the graffiti on the track too but its very hard!

From this drawing, I think it's the left-right kink coming down from Kallenhard, about a third of the way from Kallenhard to Wehrseifen.

I agree with FW, this is looking backwards, and you'd see the front of the car.

I'd ignore the graffiti. Who knows when PD modeled the track, when that photo was taken, and how much has changed in between.
Unless their is some iconic and famous bit of graffiti in that shot I don't know about.

I'm going with Kallenhard myself, about 90% sure..

 

[freedomweasel]

Look up one of those side by side videos showing the ring in real life and in GT and see what you can tell from that. They usually show a good viewpoint and the whole track.

Yes, I think that's the exact same curve as the OP's post, looking the other direction, after Kallenhard.

I'm running B-spec 24h Nurburgring now and I'm 99% sure it's right before the 16th km mark I think it's around Pflanzgarten I

EDIT: just checked it again and it's the Brünnchen curve (the top right corner on the picture posted above)

Wehrseifen, looking backwards/uphill.

its around the 2nd box upfrom the main straight if you go round the track in reverse.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe that this piece of Graffiti is on the track it the game. Making it much easier to find.

How about this one (not my picture, belongs to a guy on a photography forum I am on)

 

[Jawsers]

I'm going to take a guess and say Klostertal, because I think I can see Karussell. By the way that is definitely I sweet picture.

Great picture mate. 👍

Eschbach, km14
But I drive this track in real life once every 2 weeks so it's not really fair

Edit: added map
Right side of the map, you can park your car there and make some pretty nice pictures.

 

[Kryptonite158]

Great analysis guys..lot of help!!!

 

[Merquise]

Found a good vid
It even shows the parking place from which the photo was shot.

(around 7:01)
This is a good driver btw. Snow tires, outside temp 1.5° celcius, Porsche GT3 overtaking him but he can almost keep up with that GT3 and he's driving a Mini himself
