Forza 3 adds Nurburgring today News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Schumacher wrong move and you'll lose.

The superb Forza Motorsport 3 has expanded again today with a Nurburgring Grand Prix track pack.

It costs 400 Microsoft Points (Ł3.40/€4.80) and, as the title suggests, is based around Germany's famous Nurburgring course.

The full 3.22 mile circuit has been painstakingly replicated by Turn 10 as well as a short 2.24 mile sprint circuit.

In real life, Nurburgring was built in 1984 and hosts the wacky 1000km Nurburgring endurance race. The course also co-hosts the German Grand Prix.

What's more, it's probably been on Top Gear, and is in every racing game ever made.

Does the track loop back onto the Nordschleiffe circuit a la PGR or is it stand-alone?

Doesn't Forza already have the Nordschleiffe? So the F1 approved track layout is a great addition, that first corner is immense

Ah nice, I was cruising round the Nordschleiffe the other night thinking it'd be nice to revisit the F1 circuit. I haven't bothered with the car packs so far but I'd quite like this one. I'm working on Solid Gold so I've still got a lot of Forza ahead of me.

I love how so many gaming outlets have paid no attention to the details and keep describing this as the Nordschleife that is already in the game.

400pts does seem a bit much for this, does anybody know if the track gets integrated into the single player events?

looks like they ran out of disc space so decided to sell stuff as DLC.

@ Santino

All Forza 3 track DLC gets their own race series which will be picked up in the events list.

@Jag10 - yeah that 1.2gig of stuff on the second disc really blew the capacity out of the water...

Cant believe they didn't integrate the F1 track and Nordschleife. There is a 24 hour race held every year that uses the full track, would be great to be able to race it.

It's bit much for one extra track, is it really going to be worth ~10% of the monetary value of the game on release day. I dont think so, Some cars or other tracks included may have been ok but I'm not forking out Ł3.40 of my Old Speckled Hen money for the Nurburgring alone.

the fact that the track dlc adds to the career is good, because i thought the track dlc for f2 was not value for money. but its still a no-sale because of no pgr3/4 'behemoth'
