After spotting what looked to be the Nordschleife in the Rennsport open beta release reveal trailer, the dev team in their latest Radio Check video have confirmed it and way more in time for the July 10 release.
The open beta for Rennsport is finally on the horizon, with it set to arrive on July 10 on the Epic Games Store for free. Competition Company in their latest update video have revealed more details, the headline of which being that the Nordschleife will be arriving with the open beta.
But there is plenty more to it, including a few new cars, another track - albeit a fictional one - and the first long-awaited idea of what will be their payment model.
That makes Rennsport the first sim platform to feature this car - which was not named for the platform, in case anyone was wondering about this.
The 911 GT3 R Rennsport's massive wing will surely make it handle like a dream through fast corners.
Next up are some cars that do conform to a pre-existing car category, GT4 to be exact. First up is the BMW M4 GT4 (G82), the same car that sim racers Jimmy Broadbent, Steve 'Super GT' Alvarez Brown and Misha Charoudin were all set to drive in this year's Nürburgring 24 hours.
Also from the GT4 class is the Audi R8 LMS GT4. Meaning now that makes two LMDh cars, two TCR cars, a selection of four GT3 cars and a few more without contemporaries like the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup and Praga R1.
The 'Founder's Pack' will provide three tiers of paid content, starting with the Gold membership at €19.99 that provides access to the Nordschleife and one free car token for any future content release. One tier up is the Platinum Pack which will cost €39.99 and features the aforementioned 911 GT3 R Rennsport with one additional livery.
Choose from three levels of the Founder's Pack that have different quantities of content.
For the maximum Diamond tier at €69.99, players get an additional 911 GT3 R Rennsport livery and car purchase token. It goes without saying that each higher tier features the content available in the previous tier. If all of that was not already enough of an incentive, maybe this next detail could tempt a few players.
The Nordschleife will not be the only track added to Rennsport, there will be a fictional track called Founder's Track added which takes the shape of the Rennsport logo and set on an island. If you pick up a Founder's Pack, your name will be immortalised on the surface around the circuit.
Want your name on the side of this track? Pick up any tier of the Founder's Pack in Rennsport.
Additionally as hinted at on the Rennsport socials, VR will arrive with the open beta with native support and they are focusing on honing that before they switch their focus over to triple screen implementation. Finally, will Rennsport be available on Steam? The answer is that it will at some point down the line. Also, AI single player racing will eventually be added in the future.
To learn more including the plans for open setups and changeable weather conditions, watch the Radio Check video from the Rennsport YouTube channel.

New Cars
The first big addition alongside the Nordschleife is the rather fittingly named Porsche 911 GT3 R Rennsport, a version of the 911 that is not road legal or even conforms to the regulations of any pre-existing racing category. This trackday weapon only weighs 1,240 kilograms and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 4.2-litre Flat-6 engine, it revs up to 9,400rpm and produces 620 horsepower.That makes Rennsport the first sim platform to feature this car - which was not named for the platform, in case anyone was wondering about this.
