For over a month, we've known that Reiza's historical rendition of the Nürburgring in its 1971 guise was close. With still some work to do, Automobilista 2 now has a released version of the classic Nurburgring, albeit in beta form.

Upon release of the most recent full update to Automobilista 2, Reiza Studios launched a classic version of the Bathurst circuit. Alongside the drop came the announcement that its long-in-the-works classic Nürburgring was also soon for release.
An added snippet of information claimed that the team wasn't just focusing on the Nordschleife section of road, but also the now-forgotten Sudschleife. Never before seen in an official capacity in simracing, this was to be a historic moment for racing games. Well, the time has come, sort of.
Over the weekend, Brazilian game developer Reiza Studios released its classic Nürburgring for those signed up for the Automobilista 2 Beta program. Currently in pre-release form, it features several bugs and is missing track-side objects that the team plans on implementing in days to come. But for those looking to drive a circuit they possibly had never heard of prior to last month's announcement, it certainly does the job.
Aside from the new track, the release candidate version of AMS 2 brings a variety of fixes, notably to a selection of minor graphical bugs. However, it also includes the 2023 grid of Brazilian Stock Cars. Featuring all the skins, fans of the series will have a new championship to enjoy.
