The highly anticipated Nürburgring Nordschleife DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione is set to launch on April 1, 2024, for PC players. This DLC pack, known as the Nürburgring 24H DLC, will be available for players on Steam starting on April 1.
Initially, some fans speculated that the release date could be an April Fools prank when the information was leaked. However, a recent tweet from the official Assetto Corsa Competizione account confirmed that the DLC is indeed scheduled for release in a few weeks.
One of the key features of this DLC is the addition of the Nordschleife track at the Nürburgring. While the Nürburgring GP track has been part of Assetto Corsa Competizione for some time, the inclusion of the extensive Nordschleife track has been a highly requested feature by the community.
The Nordschleife track is renowned for its challenging nature, spanning almost 13 miles with intricate twists and turns that demand utmost concentration from drivers at all times. Once added, it will become the longest track in Assetto Corsa Competizione, offering a unique and demanding experience for players.
With the 24H Nürburgring race being added to the SRO calendar in real life this year, the timing was ideal for the track's inclusion in the game. While the DLC will be available for PC players first, there is currently no information on the release date for Xbox and PlayStation versions, which typically see a delay of a few months.
Despite the lack of pricing details, the reaction from the Assetto Corsa Competizione community has been overwhelmingly positive, with top players expressing their excitement for the upcoming DLC. Given the track's complexity, it is expected to quickly become a part of the top-level competition in the game, challenging pro drivers to master its intricacies.
Assetto Corsa Competizione, as the official GT World Challenge videogame, aims to replicate real-world competition in the virtual realm. With the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring race joining the Intercontinental GT Challenge circuit this year, virtual practice on ACC may prove beneficial for real-life drivers preparing for the race scheduled at the end of May.
