Considering the amount of time I spend at Eiger, I'm suprised I never noticed it.
 
Wow, I love it, after three years there's still hidden gems being found. Good eye!!

Can anyone else spot this?

Sooooo... When did you come back my friend? And also to not go off topic :D .. No I have not spotted this but I am looking :grumpy:
 
Hey man! I'm not really back as such. I just did a few races the other day and ended up in photo mode, spotted this building and thought i'd post something on GTP. It's possibly my only ever contribution to the world of Gran Turismo! I don't recall anyone ever mentioning this Observatory. Seems funny that Polyphony went to such lengths - it really is tiny, but there! Go find it :)
 
Pole Position is always a good starting point.



Good one silicon. You are the official discoverer of the neutrino shack.

I found Bond, too. He lost his watch.



A few more clues:





It's difficult to get up close. Why would they plant such a hard to notice object up there? The irony is that it is also in plain sight and sticks out like a sore thumb when you actually look at it. Even in replay mode certain panned shots panned across it quite visibly. It also appears on different cameras, of course, but some of the immovable ones will have it in plain sight.

There could be a breakout section - who has the time to walk miles around it? :lol: - and it may be possible to get closer.

Also noticeable while racing is that the sun glints off it at certain points as if to signal its location.

I doubt Jenkins would be hanging out with Blofeld. Too bald.
