Default PC Driving Game - Nurburgring

Does anyone know if there is a decent PC driving game that has the Nurburgring as an available track?

Cheers

rFactor has a what is meant to be a pretty good ring available for it. GTR2 has a version too.

Yep, GTR2 has it. I used to do GTR1 with the Nurburgring as an Add-On , and it was very good.

rFactor for me, with the Ring being especially fruity

Really meaning to go back to Forza but i just cant put this racer down and now the DTM mod is with us it just gets better.

Gallardo
Euro Touring Cars from 2003
DTM 2007
Austrailian V8 Supercars
Historic Rally Cars and Touring Cars
Caterham ...................... Powertec V8 is the daddy
Truck racing
Megane ....the same as the ones used in Race Of Champions
1979 F1 cars inc the turbo Renault....silly boost anyone cause you can adjust the boost in game
Impreza v Evo mod
Kart sims

Local British tracks like
Cadwell
Snetterton
Knockhill
Goodwood
Crystal Palace
Top Gear test track

World tracks like
The old Lemans circuit
The full Tourist Nordschlieffe inc car park and barriers
Long Beach from the CART series
Bathurst
Norisring
Mondello Park
The old Monza layout with the banking
Surfers Paradise

The tracks get released through rfactorcentral.com on an almost daily basis. Mostly real tracks but some fantasy ones get released

Full options and car setup customisation inc diffs, camber, castor, toe in, tyre pressures, steering angle. Basically if it can be adjusted on a real car it can be done in the game.

Favourite for me is between the V8 Supercars at Bathurst, 67 Ford Mustang round Snetterton, Audi Quattro up Pikes Peak (the full 26km course), 2007 Impreza round Knockhill or even a FIA GT car round the Top Gear test track. Hence the reason i am finding it hard to go back to Forza

Massive online grids, seen rooms of 40 odd but most i have run in is about 25 - 30 on the grid at Mills raceway.

Use of Logitech wheels

No screaming American teenagers

Incar view with all round visibilty and functioning dash board

Brilliant car damage and wear model, tyres and engines will go pop if you dont look after them.

Downside is nearly 3 weeks and 100's of laps trying to get the multiple settings for the DFP just right

My old steam powered PC sometimes struggles but it does well for what it is,
1.8GHz, 512mb RAM, 5 Year old Nvidia card.

If you're into Castle Combe then rF has the best version of any I've tried
