First time I (sim) raced on the Nordschleife was in GTR Evolution. The thrill of racing on this circuit in particular was just amazing and pretty much got me more interested in other sims to come.

Currently 1Gb down, 2.3Gb left to go. COME ON!!

Lol I had to download it twice, as just as one had finished v1.01 dropped!

They say this track has a reputation for being the ultimate test of a cars performance & i would say the same of a simulator as the physics & ffb are really tested on this track. Really looking forward to give it a go.

Retailing for a very reasonable £10.66 kidding me the assetto corsa version cost 50% less and include a bunch of cars even the r3e was cheaper; just wow how people are ok with these ridiculous prices

When the first dream pack was released it was around 15 Euro. If I was as much looking for something to complain about as you, I could argue that the entry price point to use the track was higher in AC than in rF2 while I had to pay for cars, that I don't even remeber. Next to the fact that a track in rF2 requires propably a bit more work than in AC or R3E, it's completely pointless. Get the track or don't get it. But stop whining about the price for something you won't purchase anyway.

the assetto corsa version cost 50% less and include a bunch of cars

While it does now, the Assetto Version cost 15€ when it was first released in 2015, but yes it did also contain 10 cars, including the glorious Merc 190E Evo II DTM and the Alfa GTA

You know how I always complained about rF2 DLC prices? 12€ for this is actually quite resonable for this IMO, and if it's in the ballpark of Sebring and Le Mans quality wise, there will be no regrets

Everyone is different, I don't think it's ridiculous. You're entitled to your view and I have mine, why I love this world.

Feels almost the same, maybe a bit less bumps through wheel. Looks better, with more details. Just a bit weird after being used to AC version. Skip to 0:40 for beginning, video is still converting and I already cut off the empty part. And sorry for crash, I play with TC off.

Aren't both sides of the video RF2?

its official nord vs ac rip

I have never been a fan of this track and layouts, however I think that's about to change! I was pleasantly shocked with the high quality of these layouts, and I consider it money well spent. Thanks RF2.

Its sublime, truly sublime. The elevation changes are really startling, I never realised how steep some of the inclines were - I came around one corner and was "woaaah!" I also love the little glimpses you get of the track off to your left or right from about 3 corners away, little teasers of what's to come - peaking through some trees or barriers. I've never noticed that before in other versions.

I hotlapped a couple of cars around the 'traditional' Nordschleife layout, I then did a quick 15 lap GTE race around the GP circuit and one thing really stands out - the atmosphere. It literally drips with it, from the birds tweeting while I coasted up to the start line to begin my hotlap, to hearing air horns blasting during door-to-door duels in my GTE - it was amazing. I swear I could hear the swell of the crowd as well, it certainly got my pulse racing. Thanks S397, just writing this makes me want to fire up the PC again.

Masterpiece. Thank you very much S-397.

Fortunately you are totally free to not buy this masterpiece.

If ever there was a track made for VR...it's this!

 

[wajdi]

I couldn’t resist and I did 5 laps with the radical sr3.
4 DOF motion+VR+DD steering wheel system + bass shakers plus this version of the Nürburgring-= Sim racing heaven
Said this.... sadly it’s very heavy track with my CV1. Even with my 2080ti/I7-8700 it’s only 45fps every where in the track .
Any one tried it with VR?

 

[DonZmeuheu]

Love it thank you S. 397

 

[jacksorensen]

What a masterpiece, I have cramps in my arms after a couple of rounds . Thank you Studio397 !!!

 

[Pitr]

It cost 3 pack of ciggars...come on, and btw it`s great I`m gonna be zombie tomorrow at work....

Vegetation looks strange. The trees next to the track are way too sparse near Adenau.
