The final race to close out the tenth season of The Forza Sports Car Series brings us to the world’s toughest, most dangerous, and most demanding racecourse. dubbed the "green hell" by legendary racer Jackie Stewart-Nurburgring Nordshleife. It is almost difficult to believe that the intensely demanding Nürburgring was constructed in 1927 as a purpose-built safer alternative to the older races through the Eifel Mountains' treacherous roads. However, in the spirit of the older races, the northern loop ("Nordschleife") is a public toll road, open to anyone for a "touristenfahrten" session for a fee. It's plethora of turns (by one count 73) include hairpins, banked carousels, and the infamous "flugplatz" ("airport") bump where fast-moving cars often go airborne. The tortuous circuit gained its famous nickname, "die Grüne Hölle" ("the Green Hell"), due to the majority of the course twisting through a dense forest. The Nordschleife is considered by many manufacturers to be the ultimate test of their high-performance offerings, and the crown for fastest transit around the 'Ring passes from car to car as the companies compete for the title just as each season the racers of the FSCS battle for the title "King Of The Ring"! .With this race being the final race of the season and a 'double points' event it is sure to present the drivers with the most challenging race they will have all year. {King of the Ring History: Season 1 King of the Ring PredatorUSMC / Season 2 King of the Ring PredatorUSMC / Season 3 King of the Ring METAL C6R / Season 4 King of the Ring PLF Spurtle / Season 5 King of the Ring OldFenderBender/ Season 6 King of The Ring Matthnt / Season 7 King of The Ring GT BIMM3RR - King of The Ring GTC OldFenderBender} / Season 8 King of The Ring GT OldFenderBender - King of The Ring GTC Matthnt} / Season 9 King of The Ring GT PredatorUSMC - King of The Ring GS DR PiiHB - King of The Ring ST Matthnt}

You know what they say about people who assume to much....Not sure how me saying good luck to my fellow racers is taunting them
I'm going to need a lot of luck to start last twice and try to win both races without damaging my car.
And you yourself will need every bit of luck to not damage your car. Your record at The Green Hell is not stellar.

We are all gonna need a bit of Luck to go with whatever skill is brought to the table at this this daunting track that forever is taunting you to push harder.

I know I'm going to get ridiculed, but now imagine doing this track in a car that is as wide as the road and extremely top heavy. Lets Roll! (Did you get the pun?!)

The Nürburgring is made up of two racetracks: the Nordschleife which was opened in 1927 as the “First Hilly Racing and Test Track” and the Grand Prix Circuit inaugurated in 1984. The two circuits, which can be driven around in combination, are together about 26 kilometres, making the Nürburgring the longest permanent racetrack in the world. A total of 40 left-hand bends, 50 right-hand bends and a 300m height difference with extreme slopes and gradients ensure a significant adrenaline kick for both drivers and spectators.
Since its construction (1925 - 1927), the Nordschleife has enjoyed a reputation as a terrifying and merciless route through the Eifel forests. An English journalist who visited the Nordschleife during the opening race on 18 June 1927 even concluded “that it seemed as if a reeling, drunken giant had been sent out to determine the route”. The Formula 1 pilot Sir John Young Jackie Stewart – after all a three-time world champion in 1969, 1971 and 1973 – was so impressed by the circuit that he gave it the name which it will probably never lose: Green Hell (Grüne Hölle).
The best-known event today is the Forza Sports Car Series 2-hour race, which is held the Nordschleife circuit and which for two weeks transforms the entire circuit into a huge spectacle as every FSCS racer who is eligible take part in this race brings their cars, teams, crews, and extra parts. Plenty of extra body panels and parts!

PiiHB, I tend to think your alone on this one.
I am always curious to see how many racers DNF before we even get to the second or third lap. I always laugh on the inside when it happens and SMH. The Ring shows who prepares and who doesn't REAL DAMN QUICK and makes em pay.
I have been running laps with several GT and a few GS guys and I can say I am a bit worried cause there are some guys who are damn fast and I dunno it's gonna be the biggest challenge I can think of to bring home the crown with such talented racers to chase down on the ring. I love a challenge and I for sure have been preparing!
My BMW has only turned about 5 laps. More focused on GT

I've been turning 4-5 laps each night I've gotten on the Xbox since Motegi, and am inching closer to breaking the 8 min barrier. Hope to be there come next Sun.

Me and this track dont mix. I can run dirty laps that are sub 8 minutes but im just not a fast guy here. Expect me to sit back and drive Miss Daisy for this one . bringing home the car is far more important than position for me here. ST on the other hand might be a bit more of an adventure.

Wise words, but who doesnt wants to wins this event?
My car is handling great here, but I usually make mistakes and this track dont forgive any. I´ll try to mix both, be fast but sure. As I drive with Sim Steering is kind a challenge to avoid any traction slip, but for me the cahllenge to finish as high as possible is what keeps me interested in the series.

Normally I would be running countless laps here. Im sure you remember last year I put in well over 100 practice laps. Only problem this season is that my xbox is at my cousins house and I cant turn laps untless I drive down there. Which would normally only be on Sunday for a race but tonight I work until 11 so no practice tonight either. Hopefully I can make it down there a couple times thi week to make some time up.

Had a great 2 lap race with Pred earlier. The Gallardo S I was in had a 60 foot gap over Preds 458 coming out of the lasr corner and he used the slingshot to win at the line by .067s

Oh yeah! Its built to 735. Not the LP-570, the 2007(?) one. The step up from your old Gallardo.
