Hey there,
I wonder how we can still only have so little track variants of Nürburgring for example. And I think there might be some other tracks to where variants are missing. However, Nürburgring to me is the location with the most layouts missing in my opinion. This is also in opportunity to increase the track count, if you know what I mean.
In Forza we have:
Nürburgring GP (F1)
Nordschleife (variant is also known as Industriefahrten)
Combined (which actually uses the wrong chicane on the GP circuit)
Missing Variants:
Nürburgring GP Endurance (driven in WEC, BSS/BES) → uses the not so sharp chicane unlike F1
Nürburgring Sprint (after the Mercedes Arena you turn right and join behind the Schumacher S, F1 chicane; used in DTM like this: http://puu.sh/xZKwV/680bacbf82.jpg)
Nürburgring VLN (Sprint with endurance chicane +Nordschleife as used in the VLN)
Müllenbachschleife (only the most southern part used for racing school etc, like this: http://puu.sh/xZKsm/7eb08c85fd.jpg)
Possible other variants:
Nordschleife BTG: Bridge to gantry on the Nordschleife. Maybe like a Point to point race with a start at the “Touristeneinfahrt” and time activation under the Bilstein Bridge?

Would be a nice addition to get your own BTG times.
Combined long layout: Complete Mercedes Arena, whole GP Curcuit + Nordschleife. Could be called “the Monster” or sth.
Other short variants using the first turn of 24h and different chicanes.
I think this should be not too much effort as the tracks are scanned and there already (except maybe Müllenbach). It’s just a matter of making use of the layouts. Tell me how you think about it and maybe join in with other tracks missing some variants. There’s no reason why we shouldnt be able to drive them. It might not be able to be set in the Career by now, but it might be some welcoming variety in multiplayer.
Feel free to add your variants to this thread, maybe the devs like the ideas.
