Sims with the Nordschleife

There are a few teams working on complete current-time Rings: Team GSMF
is doing one for RFactor and si3v is doing one for netKar PRO. And
monocosmos is working on a new one for GTR and RFactor (and maybe GTL).

Current sims that have the Nordschleife:

-GTL (an updated version of the GPL one, so '67 layout)
-GTR (some different versions, all basing on the GPL one, best ist the
Zurich 24, imho)
-Racer (There's a modern layout version for Racer, but still based on
the GPL one)
-Racer (The 24H race layout version is currently being updated)
-netKar 0.99 (a very incomplete port of the GPL one)
-F1 Challenge (a GPL port and a 24H race layout: the GPL one and the
Nurburgring GP track hacked together).

I like the GTL and the Racer one the most, but unfortunately all are
based on the old GPL layout...

Shipped with the Ring? Not many.

Add-on track? Quite a few. F1 Challenge is one of the best, in my
opinion. GTP/N2003 aint bad either.

Nascar Heat also has the long version.
