The wait is finally over - Automobilista 2 V1.4.7 has been officially released, and with it our track team´s magnum opus following two years of hard work - the legendary Nürburgring, as it was in 1971, featuring the Südschleife ("South Loop"), Nordschleife ("North Loop") and Gesamtstrecke ("Whole Course") in an incredibly detailed and faithful recreation of this glorious race track.
Nürburgring Historic 1971 has been added to the previously released Nürburgring DLC already featuring the modern Nordschleife and Grand Prix layouts - users who already own that DLC or packs that include it are all set to enjoy one of the most thrilling experiences ever created in a racing sim.
