Is there a way to get the add-on track TheRing (Nurburgring Nordschleife) to
work in F1 Challenge?
Yes, but there wouldn't be much point... From what I've heard the bumps are
huge in the dodgy beta 'ring conversion that was released for F1 2002. I'd
say you'd be better off waiting for SBDT to release their more polished
version.
Its awesome in F1 2002, I say if you get it to work do it. Its a badass
track!
Licensing thing?

It would be nice to see the 14 miler in there.
What year did they hack the track up in real life ?
It looks to me like Spa has been hacked up too :(

Spa has also been changed from the version in GPL, sometime around 1983 I
think, although it has been dropped from this seasons F1 calendar.
You don't really follow real F1 do you Larry ? ;)

It's only been the last 2 years that I've even seen an F1 race.

It's the Ring which has been mangled all out of recognition.
I'm watching the replay of today's race right now, but can't
recognize anything from the old track.

The only bit that is in common is that the start finish straight on the new
track is in the same location. The old South curve is obliterated, as is the
return straight.
When they hold the 24 hour race, the cars have to do virtually a whole lap
of the new Ring, turn off it and do a complete lap of the old Ring before
rejoining the new circuit again!

I guess you're into NASCAR then...
I recommend you watch more F1. But then I would, because I'm the one guy who
religiously watches all the F1 I can. Last season, I think I was the only
person who spent 12 a race (yes that's true - approx $18 per event) so that
I could watch the Friday practices. How sad. I'm the one guy who stays up
until 1am on Friday nights so that I can watch the pre-qualifying. I'm the
one guy who has watched every minute of every race (yes, even getting up at
3am to watch the Australia/Malasia/Japan events live on TV when I wasn't
there) for the last, what? 15 years at least...
And all so I can get labelled as the RAS resident F1 technical geek. Oh, and
get a job in F1.
