Nurnburgring Nordschleife for GTR

Hi! I've been going through racing sim websites to find the best version possible of the Nurnburgring Nordschleife for GTR. I've noticed during my search there are several sites and downloads for this magnificent track, but I have absolutely no clue which one(s with possible updates) should I donwload to get the most out of this legendary track. Thank you for your time and effort in advance; Matt

All current versions that I am aware of all use the old GPL Nurb as a base. So they all share the same layout. Some have better curbing, others better surroundings. I finally chose the 24hr Zurich layout. There are still some individual updates you can add to any of those tracks, but the 24hr track has the most complete package. That is until the track makers complete the merged short GP/Nordschleife track that is currently used for the 24hr event in real life. They started that project many months ago, I have heard zero progress reports. dh

Thanks Dave! The Zurich 24h with car packs is the one I already downloaded. And now I'm convinced it's the one to extract too. Matt

Just touch the curb and you're off into the woods :) I'd rather see a GPL style version where I can use the curbs. I know that's not reality (running 2005 cars on the 1967 track) but still... would be fun! DG

Somebody had a link with a lap of the 24hr gp/Nordscheife track in a modern BMW and first of all...MAN DO THOSE BIMMER TRANNIES SCREAM! IF you can get over the vicious noise from the straight cut gears, you'll see that those dang high curbs are, infact, actually in place. I think if you get 'The Mother' version that has either low or no curbing. But then...as you say...this is 2005..:) dave henrie
