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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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
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.
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.
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.
@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.
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..
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.
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.
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.
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.
5:29 This corner is called "Spiegelkurve" ("mirror corner") because back in the 60s the drivers cutted this corner so much that their left mirror touched the hedge
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 :)
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 :)
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
I find the barrier-less track really relaxing for some reason. Kinda feels like a nice country drive. this might change once i've tried it in vr though
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.
It sure did look like they carefully modelled the places where the Sudschleife connected to that central loop, didn't it? Unfortunately it seems like there isn't a whole lot of photographic documentation of the circuit, and it was not preserved when the complex was modernized.
@@zerobandwidthYes, but its blocked off.. I found a video from 197x from a lap around the südschleife. Theres also this channel called 'circuits of the past' that shows a bit about it! If someone adds the südschleife, I'm the happiest man on earth
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!
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
6:30, I like to call that turn "so u think u can drive" cuz when I first started driving the ring I always thought I could take it flat cuz it looks like it
I hope there's a 60's version of Bathurst, there was no fence at the top of the mountain (or anywhere for that matter) and car use to go over the edge.....unreal stuff
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. . .
As a relativly new viewer, I'd love an explanation of what Jimmy's feet are doing. Like that cross between the middle and the right pedal when going through the corner. Looks absolutely mental.
Heel and toe. It's a technique for continuing to apply pressure on the brake pedal, but also blipping the throttle to match the revs while downshifting (using left foot for the clutch). Because you used to keep the heel of your foot on the brake, and used your toe to blip the accelerator. It was necessary more when double-clutching in a non-synchromesh transmission; where you HAD to match the revs or the gear wouldn't go in; with a synchro transmission it's more about keeping the car smooth and not putting extra load or rapid deceleration through the transmission (leading to wear/breakage, or axle/wheel hop if you suddenly decelerate the drivetrain), for performance gain rather than necessity. Modern drivers rarely use it, because very few racing cars have a clutch pedal, so left-foot braking has become more prevalent. Until 15 years or so ago however, many professional racing drivers still right-foot braked, with heel-toe. Nowadays professionally it's pretty much only seen in NASCAR, and in V8 Supercars where drivers want to optionally use the clutch to downshift (and of course, historic racing).
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.
@@guillermoriquelme6697 thats why i put it in "". There was 'Nordschleife', 'Südschleife' and the connection in between 'Start-Ziel-Schleife'. They were opened by Rudolf Caracciola June 18th 1927. The Steilstrecke got finished in 28 . But back to the facts the Südschleife was used for GP Racing for the bikes and at least for the no points F2 german GP july 31st 1960. The track was givin up during the 83/84 GP Track build. Nothern Part is now the entrance way to the GP Tracks parking and the south part is patt of the Kreisstraße 72. The Mühlenbach part is public roadway too, goes through an industrial zone, and is officially called Südschleife. There are anual Rally events and some oldtimer festivals on the tracks remains.
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 ?
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.
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!!
Seems this is a conversion of the Grand Prix Legends version from 1998! No laser scanning, no Google maps, no picture search, nothing! All hardcore information gathering and educated guesses. They did a good job considering it was 21 years ago!
i guess it's down to his concentraition on keeping the car on the track :) would be nuts if he spend so many hours on this dinosaur of a track and doesn't know the section names. or does he?
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.

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

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
I find the barrier-less track really relaxing for some reason. Kinda feels like a nice country drive.
this might change once i've tried it in vr though
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.
This was nice!
Are they gonna include the Südschleife in the future?
It sure did look like they carefully modelled the places where the Sudschleife connected to that central loop, didn't it?
Unfortunately it seems like there isn't a whole lot of photographic documentation of the circuit, and it was not preserved when the complex was modernized.
@@zerobandwidthYes, but its blocked off..
I found a video from 197x from a lap around the südschleife. Theres also this channel called 'circuits of the past' that shows a bit about it! If someone adds the südschleife, I'm the happiest man on earth
the modder said it was in the future plans to add it. fingers crossed
I actually never knew there was a sudschleife, what the hell
@@kiwicami287 lmao, yeah. It's the forgotten part of the nürburgring. You can find some really interesting stuff by googling it
8:50 Yes, there is a jump at Brünnchen. I heard that most of the contemporary "jump photos" were shot here and not at Pflanzgarten.
Great video. My father raced a Ford P68 back in the 68 1000km race.
"If we do have a crash the crumple zone is your face." That bit cracked me up
Life before social media was a complete joy.
I love how all the trees are less colorful too. Because you know, it's old, back then everything was black and white 😀
10:42 everyone's always asking "WHERE do I brake?", but no one is ever asking "HOW do I break?"
You should try the 1970's version of Interlagos, it was a much more fun and demanding track than it is today.
Vinicius Cordeiro a ton of tracks used to be as they were literal country side roads or just racing around the service roads of old air bases
You should see if there's a mod of the old combined course (north and south) it would be hilarious seeing you try to do it with the auto union v12
Jimmy would be such a good commenter. Really smooth intros.
Awesome, Jimmy. Downloading this bad boy right now.
The südschleife, which was the other one that connected to it at the time, was pretty crazy too. But not many people talk about it.
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!
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
0:55 haha good reference to auto-addiction ! 😂😉
I have so much respect of my grandfather. Just driving there with his F1 car must have been crazy.
6:30, I like to call that turn "so u think u can drive" cuz when I first started driving the ring I always thought I could take it flat cuz it looks like it
I hope there's a 60's version of Bathurst, there was no fence at the top of the mountain (or anywhere for that matter) and car use to go over the edge.....unreal stuff
Your assetto corsa videos are always your best!
284 kph and your driver says "where do I brake?"
C O N F I D E N C E
It'd be neat to see a side-by-side with the track then vs now.
Just dont use kevin estres' on board or the Döttinger Höhe will have 2.5m bonus track to both sides xD
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 ran the heck out of this track in this configuration in GP Legends. It's always been a great track.
OMG Jimmy's turned into the frontman of Bastille!
I'd wish more games had historic racing cenarios, 20s-60s circuits and cars
As a relativly new viewer, I'd love an explanation of what Jimmy's feet are doing. Like that cross between the middle and the right pedal when going through the corner. Looks absolutely mental.
Heel and toe.
It's a technique for continuing to apply pressure on the brake pedal, but also blipping the throttle to match the revs while downshifting (using left foot for the clutch).
Because you used to keep the heel of your foot on the brake, and used your toe to blip the accelerator. It was necessary more when double-clutching in a non-synchromesh transmission; where you HAD to match the revs or the gear wouldn't go in; with a synchro transmission it's more about keeping the car smooth and not putting extra load or rapid deceleration through the transmission (leading to wear/breakage, or axle/wheel hop if you suddenly decelerate the drivetrain), for performance gain rather than necessity.
Modern drivers rarely use it, because very few racing cars have a clutch pedal, so left-foot braking has become more prevalent. Until 15 years or so ago however, many professional racing drivers still right-foot braked, with heel-toe. Nowadays professionally it's pretty much only seen in NASCAR, and in V8 Supercars where drivers want to optionally use the clutch to downshift (and of course, historic racing).
@2:15 It starts with the "Betonschleife" flows into the "Südschleife" and continues with the "Nordschleife". :)
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
There was a "GP" Circuit back as far as 1927. It was called Südschleife.
It wasn't a GP circuit, it was just the Südschleife. Nordschleife was used for Grand Prix racing. The Südschleife existed up until the early 70s
@@guillermoriquelme6697 thats why i put it in "". There was 'Nordschleife', 'Südschleife' and the connection in between 'Start-Ziel-Schleife'. They were opened by Rudolf Caracciola June 18th 1927. The Steilstrecke got finished in 28 . But back to the facts the Südschleife was used for GP Racing for the bikes and at least for the no points F2 german GP july 31st 1960. The track was givin up during the 83/84 GP Track build. Nothern Part is now the entrance way to the GP Tracks parking and the south part is patt of the Kreisstraße 72. The Mühlenbach part is public roadway too, goes through an industrial zone, and is officially called Südschleife. There are anual Rally events and some oldtimer festivals on the tracks remains.
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 ?
The 908 is a pretty well balanced car in the 1967 GT mod for GPL
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.
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!!
ive been having so much fun with this track lately. had some really good racing with the ai actually
Seems this is a conversion of the Grand Prix Legends version from 1998! No laser scanning, no Google maps, no picture search, nothing! All hardcore information gathering and educated guesses. They did a good job considering it was 21 years ago!
Its great to learn of you - btw: I never use my left foot for braking - you could over heat your brakes -
The section you called a compression is called Fuchsröhre
i guess it's down to his concentraition on keeping the car on the track :) would be nuts if he spend so many hours on this dinosaur of a track and doesn't know the section names. or does he?
