This is an updated version than what most people will have, but it seems "friendlier" to me So I would like to use it.

Great track, I don't get why some on here don't like it and I don't buy the excuse about no-overtaking, have you ever watched footage of the VLN-24hr? Whilst I agree its seemingly impossible to learn it all off by heart without doing 500 laps, its still possible to learn big chunks of it and then do 8-10ths for the rest. Shame we are only using Alfas (albeit still great cars!) on it ...cant we slip a sweet little ST into the mix? They are good company with the quicker Alfas. But no probs if not. Im off to the Oldtimers event at the Nurburgring in August, should be fab

More of a tarmac rally than a race!

This place always divides the field, you either love it or hate it. I love it, but hate the fact that I hardly ever finish We have never run here since I have been running these series, so it's about time we did. Most people know what's coming next it's hardly like the track was just invented ST would be nice and would be in if this was a GT event, but this is LCC so I try not to have more than two choices, and we already have a bunch of Alfas to choose from.

Not sure that I can face this. You sure that you don't want us to tow a caravan as well? To make it more interesting.

Geoffers do you like this track? Just saw championship standings so if you don`t as Nordschleife is my favorite track by far.

When I started doing GPL, with UKGPL, the championships were decided over a largely fixed number of built-in tracks and Nurburgring was included in every season. That meant that it had to be learnt, like it or not. Also it was part of GPLRank and still is as far as I know, so it had to be learnt. Neither of these reasons for spending such a large part of the time I have left on this planet apply to UKPnG so I think I will pass on learning this one. I have loaded the track and done an out lap and can honestly say that I didn't recognise anything until Flugplatz and not much after it either. Just the odd bit rang a bell, which served to make me realise that I had done the preceding corners incorrectly. I may still turn up for a drive through the country in these shopping cars. Just to get finisher's points.

Just to get finisher's points. I half agree with you Clive. if that makes any sense at all !!! The first section of the lap is still a total mystery to me, as there seem to be multiple options as to which way to go...only finding the proper circuit by a process of trial and error...mostly error. Then i have to remember for the next lap which was the right choice! One we cross that bridge?..(at least I think it is a bridge ) and move out into the country, I can see the familiar pattern of the GPL Nurburgring track. Granted the curves have all been sanitised and smoothed and I find many of them feel faster than GPL but I know which way the next corner goes and what is over the blind crest ahead..well almost

I gave this circuit a half-hearted try the other day. Much as Evil notes above, I was completely lost in the early sections and also at the end of a lap. I'll give it another go between now and raceday but if it doesn't gel quickly, I'm not going to spend anytime trying to cope with it.
My entry at this point has to be considered to be 50-50 at best.

Hmm, I am running this version mostly because the tourist one doesn't seem to have any start lights We have run the VLN before in other series, I don't remember it needing a sat nav?
