How the hell is the Norisring even a thing?

Like, that barely even qualifies as a circuit, yet it’s somehow a very important event in the DTM calendar???

AVUS

Well what with that banking AVUS is more like a very flattened oval circuit. Norisring is a street circuit with like 7 corners, one of which can be taken flat out.

People actually like this a lot... Track is fairly easy and therefore provides with great spectacle. Sure it’s not that great for drivers, but it offers good racing...

Because someone is always trying to make a ballsy pass and put their car in places it shouldnt be.

Avus was a pair of top speed runs with a u turn at one end and a round about at the other.

Random: That stadium up in the top right must be where FC Nürnberg play. I believe red is their color.

Simple circuits often make for great racing.

Because A: Street circuits are cool and B: DTM is fucking awesome

DTM is kind of like Germany’s NASCAR, right? (That claim’s always a stretch, but roll with it.) DTM cars have a lot more going on, though. So, what we’ve got here is an oval, but with some extra stuff. Because DTM. Why not?

That little doohickey that sticks out is sorta like a canard on the cars, I guess. Kinda. Maybe. (Actually, IDK.)

Some game I played had this circuit in it and it was a PAIN IN THE ASS due to congestion with all the other cars.

Likely that was Toca 3, that’s the only game I’ve encountered that had it.

I still have it, my laptop can run it at 1920x1080 @ 120fps. It’s amazing.

Shanghai is a real bitch too.

Pretty sure I’ve got it on steam. I just love the weight the cars have, and the ludicrous body roll on the muscle cars. I’d love to see a modern game with as many different styles of racing as that. I also want the ability to drive any car I want on any track I want. That would be great. Lemans prototype on a trophy truck course? Sure.

Yeah, the inability to just pick a car and a track and go was silly.
