The game has been in early access on Steam since January 2025 and is targeted at PC.","whyItMatters":"KUNOS Simulazioni built its reputation on laser-scanned circuits, and putting a 1:1 Eifel open world around the Nordschleife turns the series' most famous track into a region rather than a lap, which is a bigger structural move for the sim than another car pack would be.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe mode goes past circuit driving into an open world, and the studios are using the real thing as their benchmark. A comparison video from German-born Dutch racing driver and YouTuber Misha Charoudin, who has raced the real 24 Hours of Nürburgring, accompanies the announcement, with Charoudin driving in-game while reacting to how closely the environment matches what he knows from the actual roads. Time attack events sit inside the map rather than in a separate menu, and the map is slated to expand through future updates.
