Track Infos from Wikipedia :
The Nürburgring is a 150,000 person capacity motorsports complex located in the town of Nürburg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany. It features a Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a much longer Nordschleife “North loop” track which was built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. The north loop is 20.8 km (12.9 mi) long and has more than 300 metres (1,000 feet) of elevation change from its lowest to highest points. Jackie Stewart nicknamed the old track “The Green Hell”.
Originally, the track featured four configurations: the 28.265 km (17.563 mi)-long Gesamtstrecke (“Whole Course”), which in turn consisted of the 22.810 km (14.173 mi) Nordschleife (“North Loop”), and the 7.747 km (4.814 mi) Südschleife (“South Loop”). There also was a 2.281 km (1.417 mi) warm-up loop called Zielschleife (“Finish Loop”) or Betonschleife (“Concrete Loop”), around the pit area.
Several touring car series still compete on the Nordschleife, using either only the simple 20.8 km (12.9 mi) version with its separate small pit lane, or a combined 24.4 km (15.2 mi)-long track that uses a part of the original modern F1 track (without the Mercedes Arena section, which is often used for support pits) plus its huge pit facilities. Entry-level competition requires a regularity test (GLP) for street-legal cars. Two racing series (RCN/CHC and VLN) compete on 15 Saturdays each year, for several hours.
The annual highlight is the 24 Hours Nürburgring weekend, held usually in mid-May, featuring 220 cars – from small 100 hp (75 kW) cars to 700 hp (520 kW) Turbo Porsches or 500 hp (370 kW) factory race cars built by BMW, Opel, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz, over 700 drivers (amateurs and professionals), and up to 290,000 spectators.
I want to repeat my report of AI crashing into the wall of the commandposts when they drive out of the box. They all do and I don’t think that is supposed to be like that!? I hope this reaches the creators of this amazing track! Thank you again for your work!
Yes, I reported that to GTR233 (who is making the updates of the track now) at Race Department about a month ago and for now the only solution is to turn off the Autopit in the plr file (Autopit=”0″). Make a backup copy of your plr file first!
Ah, sorry, you are talking about the AI leaving the pits, don’t mind my previous comment.
There is a bug with this mod in GTR2. The car gets stuck when leaving the pits. Love the track,but it’s unplayable as it is.
This is a common problem with mod tracks and GTR2 autopit option.
The way to fix it is to disable autopit and drive the car manually out of the pits.
To do so open UserData\ and find .PLR file. Open it with some kind of text editor – Notepad for example – and under [ DRIVING AIDS ] find the line
Autopit=”1″
and change it to
Autopit=”0″
and save changes.
Well what I have noticed is that AI cars crash into the pitwall when leaving the box. Maybe this could be worth a look too.;-)
@ Makers of this masterpiece: Thx very much encore une fois and I have a suggestion: I have edited Loadingscreems amd added the names “Stefan Bellof” and “Sabine Schmitz” to the correspoding points on the map. Unfortunately it does not look too good and with better prog it sure would be better. So here it is and maybe worth a look and maybe editing your Loadingscreens for a further update. Horrido!
