KUNOS just announced they’re digitizing the entire German Eifel region around our beloved Nordschleife for Assetto Corsa Evo. My inner purist twitched seeing virtual car rentals and shop integration, until I remembered – these are the same obsessive engineers who argue about tire temperature decimals.
They’re laser-scanning 1600 square kilometers of German countryside. Sounds like someone got carried away with their new toys, and honestly? I’m here for it. The classic track experience remains untouched, while this massive playground opens up around it.
Sure, seeing “BUY NOW” buttons floating around the Ring feels like finding a gift shop at the summit of Everest. But when has KUNOS ever sacrificed physics for flash? That virtual BMW M4 rental will still try to bite your head off at Flugplatz, just as nature intended.
Coming Summer 2025, it’s either going to be a brilliant expansion of the sim racing universe or the world’s most overengineered track day menu. Meanwhile, the Nordschleife stays its glorious, unforgiving self – though now with more scenic places to contemplate your inevitable Carousel mishaps.
