Studio 397 today released their Nurburgring track DLC for rFactor 2. It is priced at USD $13.17, which seems quite reasonable to me, and can be purchased on Steam.
Located in the Eifel region of Germany, the Nurburgring Nordschleife first appeared in sim racing with the classic Grand Prix Legends. rFactor 2 now has that layout, and also a few others…
Text from S397’s news post:
Nordschleife “North loop”
The now almost ancient Nordschleife “North loop” dates back to the roaring 1920s! Meandering its way through the countryside and circling the medieval castle of Nürburg and its small village, the Ring’s roads and sharp curbs snake around the idyllic and bucolic Eifel landscape. The full Nordscheife loop is 20.8 km with a jaw-dropping 300 meters of elevation changes.Nürburgring Grand Prix
Among modern, well-known tracks, this Grand Prix track, which was built in 1984 and used for Formula One up to 2013, remains a great venue for modern racing. The Grand Prix is a very technical track that requires acute timing and precision. Its iconic sharp first section of turns is a real test of braking mastery.Nürburgring 24 Hours
The 24 Hours Nürburgring layout is 25km of grueling endurance. The layout starts on the Grand Prix circuit and then transtions to the North loop. Skipping only the Mercedes Arena section of the Grand Prix, it uses most of the two layouts. The modern and old clash, but co-exist in a way that gives this immense layout its unique character. Part technical, part old school, the 24 hours layout is the ultimate test of flexibility and skillful racing for anyone calling themselves an endurance driver!Nürburgring Combined
The ‘Combined’ layout is a close cousin of the 24 Hours layout. The only difference is it includes the Mercedes Arena section, making it a slightly longer layout with an extra challenge!
Studio 397 posted a FANTASTIC track guide in their news item which I won’t copy here. But here are all the THIRTY screenshots from the guide:
