Turn 10 Studios, the developers behind the Forza franchise, say they have created the most accurate and beautiful virtual version of the Nurburgring there has ever been. From laser scanning the track to having modelers and programmers simulate all the various camber changes, different grip levels or bumps, it all promises to add up to a hugely enjoyable ‘Ring experience.

The best part is that unlike other add-ons released by developers after the game launched, this one doesn’t require players to pay anything extra to gain access.

The track is freely available for download and it seamlessly integrates into the multiplayer and single-player modes.

Looking at the footage below, there’s no doubt it’s stunningly detailed and very eye candy-ish; the developers worked extra-hard to get the lighting and shadows part of the experience just right, to add a touch of cinema drama to each run.
