More nürburgring layouts?
After the addition of the Nordschleife, the Nürburgring has 4 layouts in the game:
- GP Circuit (with Arena)
- Sprint Circuit (with Arena)
- Nordschleife
- Full circuit (Nordschleife with GP, without Arena, with alt chicane)
But there’s more layouts available for this circuit:
- GP Circuit (without Arena)
- GP Circuit (with alt chicane)
- GP Circuit (without Arena, with alt chicane)
- Sprint Circuit (without Arena)
- Sprint Circut (with alt chicane)
- Sprint Circuit (without Arena, with alt chicane)
- Full circuit (Nordschleife with GP, with Arena, with alt chicane)
- Full circuit (Nordschleife with Sprint, with Arena, with alt chicane)
- Full circuit (Nordschleife with Sprint, without Arena, with alt chicane)
See RacingCircuits.info for more info.
These layouts make use of roads that are part of the current scans, so they should be made available.
I hope these get added as more track layouts will lead to more variation in races!

There also is the Müllenbachschleife, but this layout doesn’t include a pitlane.
With 9 more layouts (that include a pitlane) possible, there’s a lot left here. Hopefully they introduce more layouts in the next update.
There also was the Sudschliefe, up until the 1960s. Clever and talented people have replicated it for PC games (Assetto Corsa I think) and a very basic version was in an early Gran Turismo, so it should be as feasible for Turn 10 as Maple Valley.

I would really celebrate any historical layouts of the Ring which are sadly no longer in existence in real life.
Like for example the above mentioned Südschleife (south loop), shown in faint grey in the following graphic and used from 1973 to 1982.
Sadly I’m not old enough to have seen races there live myself but my first experience of watching motorsport at any track was at the Nürburgring ‘Betonschleife’ (concrete loop) marked in red in the graphic, a neat short track similar in nature to Brands Hatch Indy layout and obviously something I would love seeing in Forza just to relive my youth. For orientation: The start/finish line of the Betonschleife is roughly at the same spot as today’s start/finish line of the GP circuit, the Betonschleife was also the connection between the north loop (Nordschleife) we have in game already and the no longer existing south loop (Südschleife), making it possible to combine all three layouts into one gigantic long circuit.
Two more recent YouTube videos document the current state of what is left of the Südschleife. This one includes a useful map overlay:
And this one includes some historical photos as well:

I’d like to see the point to point layouts from Forza Motorsport 4 added. They were a good way to learn individual sectors of the Nordschleife without having to go though a full lap to get to the bit you’re stuck on.

Can we please get the other chicane for Nürburgring plus the pre ‘91 versions of the glen?

A tourist version would also be great. In that version you drive your car in real life. And if the parking lot or part of it was done it would be great for playing online. You leave the parking lot and start counting the lap at the Bilstein sign and end at the Audi Sport sign.

Theres loads of re creations of the track from 1967 and also some footage from old races i think it would be a great idea especially because of all the classic cars we have in forza at the moment and why not race the classic cars like they were with the classic track that would make this game so fun with the cars they have
