Steve Myers, vice presidente di iRacing, ha annunciato l'arrivo per il 2015 del mitico tracciato del Nurburgring Nordschleife per il simulatore americano. Il Green Hell sarà realizzato come al solito in laser scan e sarà disponibile sia nella versione da 20 Km, ovvero il Nordschleife dove corre il VLN e la 24 Ore, che in quella moderna dove si disputa il GP di Formula 1.
iRacing announced today at the iRacing Nürburgring 1000 that it plans to add the Nürburgring's fabled Nordschleife and the modern Grand Prix Stecke (along with a combination track linking the two great circuits together) to the service. “iRacing’s partnership with the Nürburgring marries state-of-the-art motorsports simulation with what is widely regarded as the world’s greatest race circuit,” said Steve Myers, Executive Vice President and Executive Producer of iRacing.com. “We are honored and pleased to be able to make the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix Stecke available to our members who will be tremendously excited by this news.”
“We are delighted that iRacing is adding the Nordschleife and the Grand Prix Stecke to its catalogue of great race circuits,” said Dr. Karl-Josef Schmidt, General Manager, Nürburgring. “Thanks to iRacing, race fans and sim-racers all around the world who may not have the opportunity visit the Nürburgring in person will be able to accept the challenge of racing on these legendary circuits.” Laser-scanned versions of the 73 turn, 20.8 km (12.9 mile) Nordschleife and the 17 turn and the 5.15 km (3.2 mile) Grand Prix Stecke will each be released in 2015.
