"There is a grey blur and a green blur. I try to stay on the grey one." I think this version of the Nurburgring suits Joey Dunlop's saying which I think was about the Isle of Man TT xD
There is a channel about old racetracks. They visit abondoned parts, or drive the public roads, that where part of it in the past. Forgott the name though.
The "idea" came from Grand Prix Legends. One of the best sims out there 20 years ago, probably played by many Pcars devs (for sure by a few, since their names were popular in the simracing communities back then, and you can clearly see the respect they have for that title since tracks like the old Silverstone or Rouen are clearly a tribute to it), or AC devs (I think Kunos too, or at least he regularly posted in the most important italian dedicated to simracing forums at that time) or modders. This version of the Ring was there too, and it was fantastic as well.
@@ferrari2k Yes, that tree is still there. The first person to mention using it to line up entry into the carousel was Rudolph Caracciola back in the 30's
There is a down load file for Sudschiefe in a video here on youtube. I have the track in Assetto Corsa now - but I don't remember which video the link was in. If you do a youtube search I think you will find it pretty easy.
The full combined course was used for the Marathon de la Route event in the late 1960s. And in case using the full course wasn't hardcore enough, the event (It wasn't a race per se, as it was essentially the replacement for the Liège-Rome-Liège Rally.) was *84 HOURS* (or three-and-a-half days) in duration.
You can see why they called it „Die grüne Hölle“ or The Green Hell. That is a scary circuit... I have to get this mod and start driving all the cars around it. Seems really fun to drive
@@nunobits12 he most definitely is though. I don't really think you're out here getting chances to drive actual race cars, participate in actual karting events, etc
Amazing: this mod is still based on the old GPL track. I wonder how many people have worked on the meshes and textures to bring it up to this state... great work.
The Nordschleife Layout seen from above is exactly the same like it was build in 1927. They reshaped some jumps in 1970 reconstruction and added some run offs. But since then basically nothing changed. They had to add FIA Fences for the Spectator Areas some time ago, to keep it FIA approved. Biggest class allowed right now is GT3. And they are doing the F1 Lap Times of the mid 70s with those beast, if you calculate only the Nordschleife from T13 to Hohenrain. So GT3s have to be slowed down every year to keep em at roughly 8 Minutes in the VLN Layout with the shortened GP Track.
Missing the Südschleife and the Steilstrecke tho... :( Fun Fact: In early versions of the track the chicane at the end of the Döttinger Höhe (Hohenrain-Schickane, 11:05) didn't use to be there, it was flat-out onto the start-finish straight.
Fun fact why would one add the Steilstrecke to a 1967+ version. And yes u right Hohenrain got added to the track in 1967 before than it used to be flat out
Cause in 1960 it was already prohibited to drive on the Steilstrecke during 'Touristenfahrten' and racing activities. Only exception was closed testing (§ 8 der Fahrordnung: „Nicht gestattet ist - außer bei genehmigten Versuchs- und Trainingsfahrten oder Rennen - das Befahren der Steilstrecke (27 %)) '§8 of the drive order/driving arrangement: it is prohibitet to - except for approved test- and training rides/drives and races - to drive on the Steilstrecke (27° gradient)
Learn the sections from the official website, i won't do it because i don't see why i would, i know the track like the back of my hand but not the section names and that never stopped me from pushing a car to the limit
@@kiwicami287 If you drive the real circuit, you are advised to know them so you can report accident locations accurately to assist in getting emergency vehicles to the scene as rapidly as possible. Anyway, the terms refer to the local area and the construction of the track, so they're interesting in and of themselves.
I've always liked these older versions better than the new one. The twists and turns play a much larger role. You also gotta try the combined Nord/Sudschleife (the Gesamtstrecke). See how modern F1 would do there.
Hi Jimmer ! I was part of a team that raced in the Race For Mental Health 24 Hours Of Zolder Sim Streamers Network Racing We felt honoured to have been part of something that was so charitable and so noble It was a great experience and we hope to do again someday if you were to host again Congrats on raising an insane amount of money ! Cheers !
good old memories! I still remember how i used to play GT Legends and download mods and old Nordschleife was my favorite to drive with old pantera GTS Thnx, Jimmy for reminding those cool old moments!
I went to Drivers school on the Ring in 1969. The second day I totaled my Alfa Romeo 1300 GT Jr at the Schwalbenschwanz. That hurt and still does. Rolled it 1.5 times. I did drive it again a couple of years later with a buddy in an Endurance race. We had an outclassed American spec Opel Manta.
Jimmy i just wanted to say im so glad to see you come so far, i just noticed this video pop up in my recommendations and it the first video ive seen by you, so the thumbnail is quite fitting to this occasion 2 years since i first watched this video back in june 2020, my first jimmy broadbent video, anyway Jimmy congrats on becoming the real life racer we all know and love.
I remember reading an interview about the Nurburgring with someone like John Surtees in an old issue of Motorsport or something. This was around the time GPL came out so the average gamer did not know the circuit. The thing that stuck with me was how he said in the 60s they would catch air at least 4 times a lap. With a recreation of the old track like this I can believe it.
Dude, your pedal work is slick. I learned something watching this, so thanks. As another sim racer who has done some laps at the real Green Hell, it's great to see what it looked like in yesteryear, feeling somewhat more connected to it now.
The hedges... just beautiful. I remember watching old vids of cars ripping into them and getting tossed upward. Strong these roots are. Great vid sir! The two off track saves were dope to see! Also, would have run the same line through that late stage turn before the 2nd carousel myself.
amazing vid mate! really cool to see how the old nord was, never really had a youtuber really show it/talk people through it, Mod or not. keep it up mate :)
Leo Kinnunen, World Sportscar Champion together with Pedro Rodriguez in 1970, spent a lot of time in my hometown of Turku, Finland (Jarno Saarinen was also from Turku) and I met with Leo several times especially in the early-2000s. We spoke a lot about his experiences in the Porsche 917K, in the Interserie Porsches and also his brief visit in Formula One. He spoke about the Nordschleife being a terrifying place in the 1960s and 1970s. Particularly bad for him was that he lost his good fellow and compatriot Hans Laine there in 1970. Even though Leo passed away a couple of years ago, I'm sure he would have been astonished to see this video and also other videos done by Jimmy.
Monaco is slower, and very shorter, with commissars every 20 yards, a pilot can run to his stand from every point of the circuit. . When Lauda had his accident, nobody saw it and he was saved by another drivers..
that was fun! I was fortunate to have visited a Group-C weekend in the last year of the old start/finish section in the 80s and I can tell you, it was a great spectator's track, especially when you had admission to the "island" between the two long straits. So you could literally look into H.-J. Stuck's cockpit twice per lap. Great show.
Bit of a fun fact seeing the 60s dunlop tyres on this car, My grandad made the tires for this car, and F1 cars back then. He worked at Fort Dunlop in Birmingham, he told me it used to take them a whole day to make 1 F1 tyre!! Grandad has no passed sadly 2 years ago, but will forever be proud of this little story he told me :)
I remember driving this circuit in GPL. There were a few more jumps back in that version, and being GPL, it was scary af. I was totally addicted to it.
I knew about the jump at the Bruennchen because Derek Bell mentions it on the "In-Car 956" video. First time I've actually seen a representation of it though.
I first saw the Nordschleife on Project Gotham Racing 4. My first experience with it was driving the light car company rocket around there during what is essentially a blizzard.... Good times.
Would be cool if you could make a playlist with the old classic circuits. I loved the one where you took on Old Spa-Franchorchamps, with the Mantra V12. Really nice
@10:18 It is called Betonschleife - Concrete Loop - because the GP circuit was build in the 80ies. The Südschleife - South Loop - is missing on this track but was available until the early 70ies.
Much bumpier back in those days. Among others, there was a big bump on the fast bit before the karusell and the bridge which you noticed in the Brunchen section. Remember being pleased completing one lap without a fatal accident in Grand Prix Legends.
There's a youtube vid somewhere with people crashing Beetles and assorted Opels there in the 60's. They used to keep so much crap in their cars, picnic hampers, blankets and all sorts flying out... Sometimes the people, too.
Hurry up and get your house built !! I'm excited to see your videos in a whole room attached to an entire house and out of that shed brother !! I swear you mentioned saving for a house in a video a while ago or am I crazy ?

fast forward to today and the Nurburgring is still letting him do laps in BMWs had to check the upload date when he mentioned driving a BMW around the ring
A straight port from Grand Prix Legends. I know it well. There is a version for rFactor that had the '60s-era Nordschleife, the Sudschleife, _and_ both tracks combined. That last one is ultimate 'Ring lap, especially in the wet. I feel all Sir Jackie running the 'Ring in the wet. . .
I would love to see the classic Bathurst track that they had in the 70's. Over 60 cars on the grid. Racing down the old Conrod straight in the Torana or Cobra would be epic!!
Awesome video! I just downloaded this track the other day. I lapped a 6’35 in the VRC Jordan 191 F1 car (7up F1 car). You should try it, it’s a real challenge
Alot of Porsche's are very well designed from an aesthetic and aerodynamic standpoint. The 956 is my personal favorite out of all the prototype and GT cars next to the 911 GT1
This is fantastic. Hopefully they will do the old Spa circuit. I was taking on a tour round it last year. What an absolute beast that was. Lots of flat out curves and generally scary shit.
Good video, looks a version taken from Grand Prix Legends, us old sim racers did many laps there, it was regarded as the most realistic sim for many years, you should give it a run lots of old school tracks.
They may handle like theyre on ice and have brakes that barely rate the name, but old school cars never fail to deliver when it comes to engine noise, just awesome!
I always forget old school racing is more of a survival game.
haha spot on mate
at first I was hoping this includes the südschleife, then I thought the nordschleife is dangerous enough. at one point I felt like I would have enjoyed to experience the original track back then, but lapping this track was indeed more about survival than fun.

@@eh86055 just a jk dude
makes you really appreciate why it's called "The Green Hell"
@ST- -MD If that name has been created all the way back i can absolutely see why its been named that
The nickname 'Grüne Hölle' was actually given to the track by Sir Jackie Stewart in 1960.
I guess the modern track is more "The Armco Hell".

A straight port from Grand Prix Legends. I know it well. There is a version for rFactor that had the '60s-era Nordschleife, the Sudschleife, _and_ both tracks combined. That last one is ultimate 'Ring lap, especially in the wet. I feel all Sir Jackie running the 'Ring in the wet. . .
I would love to see the classic Bathurst track that they had in the 70's. Over 60 cars on the grid. Racing down the old Conrod straight in the Torana or Cobra would be epic!!
Its great to learn of you - btw: I never use my left foot for braking - you could over heat your brakes -
Awesome video! I just downloaded this track the other day. I lapped a 6’35 in the VRC Jordan 191 F1 car (7up F1 car). You should try it, it’s a real challenge
Loving the 908! One of the best looking Porsche racing cars outside of the 917.
Alot of Porsche's are very well designed from an aesthetic and aerodynamic standpoint. The 956 is my personal favorite out of all the prototype and GT cars next to the 911 GT1
This is fantastic. Hopefully they will do the old Spa circuit. I was taking on a tour round it last year. What an absolute beast that was. Lots of flat out curves and generally scary shit.
There is actually a 60s Spa AC mod around
I ran the heck out of this track in this configuration in GP Legends. It's always been a great track.
Good video, looks a version taken from Grand Prix Legends, us old sim racers did many laps there, it was regarded as the most realistic sim for many years, you should give it a run lots of old school tracks.
Amazing how Jimmy can talk incessantly without running off the circuit. :-D
I'd love to see a video where you go through the nordschleife on the sim while you point out what parts felt different in real life etc
They may handle like theyre on ice and have brakes that barely rate the name, but old school cars never fail to deliver when it comes to engine noise, just awesome!
Good god Jimmer you look dapper!
