Assetto Corsa Competizione: 24H Nürburgring Pack

The 24H Nürburgring Pack DLC for Assetto Corsa Competizione was developed and published by Kunos Simulazioni, with its release for PC on April 1, 2024. This long-anticipated expansion brought the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife to the game, specifically in its 24-hour race configuration that combines the Nordschleife with the GP-Strecke. Known for its extreme length, elevation changes, and technical complexity, the 20.8 km circuit is one of the most iconic and demanding tracks in motorsport, making it a highly requested addition by the sim racing community.

The DLC features the full Nürburgring 24 Hours layout, meticulously recreated using laser-scanning technology to ensure maximum accuracy in track geometry and surface detail. This version of the circuit includes famous sections such as Flugplatz, Karussell, and Döttinger Höhe, offering a true-to-life endurance racing experience. The pack integrates seamlessly with Assetto Corsa Competizione’s dynamic weather, day-night cycle, and multi-class racing systems, allowing players to simulate the full scope of the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring event, which is part of the Intercontinental GT Challenge Powered by Pirelli.

Promotion for the 24H Nürburgring Pack was extensive and targeted both hardcore sim racers and motorsport fans. Kunos Simulazioni released cinematic trailers and gameplay showcases highlighting the track’s visual fidelity and the immersive challenge it presents. The DLC was also promoted through racing media outlets and community channels, with particular emphasis on the partnership between SRO Motorsports Group and ADAC that brought the official 2024 24-hour Nürburgring event into the game. The announcement generated significant excitement, especially given the track’s absence from the title since its launch.

Reception to the DLC was overwhelmingly positive. Players praised the accuracy and atmosphere of the Nordschleife, calling it one of the most immersive and technically impressive additions to the game. The track’s complexity and length were seen as a perfect fit for Assetto Corsa Competizione’s endurance-focused gameplay. Critics and fans alike noted that the DLC elevated the game’s content offering and fulfilled a long-standing community request. With this release, Assetto Corsa Competizione further solidified its reputation as one of the most authentic and comprehensive GT racing simulators available.
