Automobilista 2 V1.4.7 releases with finalized 1971 Nürburgring

As we reported on last week, the 1971 edition of the Nürburgring, complete with the historic layouts of the Nordschleife, Südschleife and Gesamtstrecke, has officially been released as a part of the existing Nürburgring DLC pack on Automobilista 2.

Since Saturday, this version of the track has been available as a release candidate where anyone with the DLC could test out the circuit. This 1971 version of the Green Hell will be a part of Automobilista 2‘s Nürburgring Pack, which is already out there for $9.99 or is included in the 2020-2022 Season Pass.

Back in 1971, the Nordschleife had 160 turns and was 22.835-kilometers, or 14.189 miles in length, just a touch longer than the version that exists today. As for the Südschleife, which was eventually abandoned, that course back in 1971 was much smaller in comparison, only 7.747-kilometers, or 4.814-miles in length with 27 corners.

Alongside the release is a new version of the title by Reiza Studios—Automobilista V1.4.7—and with that comes other general updates and fixes. Check out the full changelog reposted below!
