iRacing – A full lap on the Nürburgring Nordschleife

At the 2015 Blancpain Endurance Series Nürburgring race weekend sponsored by iRacing, Sebastian Keijmel visited the iRacing VIP Lounge at the 2015 SimRacingEXPO.

While at the “ring boulevard” exhibition center, he managed to record a video showing us a full lap of the laser scanned iRacing Nurburgring Nordschleife track. Keep in mind that this track project is still a work in progress and will receive more graphical upgrades before release.

iRacing announced that they will release the track in two stages. First they will roll out the iRacing Nürburgring Grand Prix track, and will release the full Nürburgring Nordschleife somewhat later. ( Update: As pointed out by some community members a recent Tweet by Steve Myers confirmed that the GP and Nordschleife track will be released simultaneously.)

Assetto Corsa by Kunos Simulazioni and later on RaceRoom Racing Experience by Sector3 Studios are also featuring a laser scanned version of the track. With three platforms releasing the most wanted sim track on earth, the “year of plenty” continues. 2015 will be an awesome year for sim racing.
