Introducing the Nürburgring 24h Pack as DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione for PC: a testament to power, challenge, and automotive mastery.
Nestled amidst the verdant hills of the German Eifel, this legendary circuit stands as an undisputed icon in the world of motorsports.
The Nürburgring 24 Hours is a 24-hour annual touring car and GT endurance racing event that takes place on a combination of the Nordschleife and the GP-Strecke circuits of the Nürburgring in Germany.
Every curve, every rise and fall, presents a unique challenge, demanding unwavering focus and impeccable vehicle control.
Among the many legendary sections, the circuit features several iconic spots that have become ingrained in the lore of motorsport.
The Flugplatz, for instance, is an iconic crest that has witnessed its fair share of dramatic moments over the years,Its formerly pronounced elevation changes have been smoothed over by the passage of time while still presenting a formidable challenge.
Then there’s the Fuchsröhre, a compression at the end of a high-speed descent, demanding nerves of steel and precise control to navigate safely.
At the heart of this iconic track lies the affectionately known as the “Carousel.” As drivers enter the Caracciola Karussell, they must dramatically reduce speed and position their vehicle on the outermost edge of the curve to maximize the turning radius and maintain control during the descent. The complexity of this corner demands millimeter precision and a thorough understanding of vehicle dynamics. Drivers must balance acceleration and braking while navigating through the Carousel, avoiding loss of grip and sliding wide on the exit.
Further along the track lies Brünnchen, a section known for its technical demands, requiring a delicate balance between speed and precision to navigate its twists and turns successfully.
And who could forget Pflanzgarten, immortalized by its iconic jump, where cars literally take flight before touching back down on the tarmac, a moment of pure exhilaration amidst the grueling challenge of the track.
Nearby, the kleines Karussell provides a miniature version of its larger counterpart, demanding similar finesse but in a tighter package.
Finally, the Döttinger Höhe, a lengthy straight, allows drivers to push their machines to their limits, reaching blistering speeds as they hurtle towards the finish line.
Here, the past blends with the present, with the history of the Nürburgring intertwining with modern automotive technologies. From legends like Sabine Schmitz, the Queen of the Nürburgring, to contemporary drivers striving to set new speed records, the circuit continues to inspire and fascinate.
But it’s also a place of humility, where even the most experienced drivers must respect the track and its quirks. The unpredictable Eifel weather, faithfully replicated in Assetto Corsa Competizione thanks to the dynamic weather model, can turn a race day into the ultimate test of endurance and adaptability.
Yet, despite the challenges and hardships, the allure of this track remains irresistible. For drivers, it’s a test of unparalleled courage and skill. For enthusiasts, it’s a mecca of motorsport, where the passion for racing burns brighter than ever.
That’s why the team at KUNOS Simulazioni sees its genesis and development intertwined with this pivotal motorsport venue. From the initial surveys conducted for the first Assetto Corsa game to the repeated driving tests over time, this special place has accompanied all team members, with many of them hitting the track throughout the year.
