Trying to make this terrific track work in the latest betas.  An ongoing effort.  The AlfaNut

Includes "Nürburgring Steilstrecke Addon"

With this Addon you can drive over the Steilstrecke. Much fun ! Note: There are some little bugs which will be fixed later but it's driveable !

Build up by GEETi for Sports Car GT, converted by Racerfreak with permission.

Also added was the texture pack - road surface and revised trees

Other graphics recreated by the AlfaNut, some deletions, some targas created by DavidIau used, dependant upon size.  New sky entirely.  Groove (old add-on) deleted.

Revised a few track cams.

Nurburgring Nordschleife (NRGv1.0) {Oct 31, 2002} Conversion by GEETi (&Co.) for SportsCar GT
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10-31-2002- Finally, after MONTHS of work by me and others, it's finished enough to be a 'complete' track for                   SCGT!!!
            Added the super detailed pits from Rob Vail (Nice work, Rob!!! :D)
            However, They will only support 4 cars. I had to redo them because of my inability to get them to                   function properly with 24 cars in the new tollpark layout. Still needs work :-/

            Added an corrected even more red/white rumble strips (Thanks MagnusT)
            Added "Motorcycle Warning" signs and the 400m sign for a pit in reference point (thanks Olaf)

10/10/2002- Reworked T13 area more (Pretty much done with it! Except for a few gaps to fill in) 
            Major rework to the shikane Lefthand corner area before T13.
            Updated Breidscheid bridge area (now wider)
            Ex-Muhle / Bergwerk area reworked :) Armco/treelines in Kesselchen area repositioned.
            AIW Updated by TOPPIN (cars don't crash as much :) and position/place markers
             function correctly!.......,Pits now working correctly! (Yeah, TOPPIN :)) 
            I positioned a pole in the back of the lot to help find the pit in marker. This will be fixed in                    the final release with Rob Vails Toll Area :)
            A few more rumble strips added / corrected :)
            Most (99.9%) of the section signs accounted for (now with backsides! :P)

9/19/2002 - Elevated Rumblestrips in correct locations - Full Track!, 
            AIW updates (pits now functioning, but with 'issues'. 
            Darkened pavement some (Don't know if I like it or not?) 
            Added various treelines, 
            Reshaped sides at Karusell, 
            Flattened bump at Brunnchen.
            Fixed up Hohenrain Skikane some more.
            (Note: File dates of 10-18-2002 are incorrect, there was something wrong with my computer!)

9/3/2002  - Some Mapping/shape changes from Tiergarten Shikane (not finished) to T13. Remapped to correct                       Rumblestrip locations from Metzgesfeld to the Karussell. 

8/26/2002 - Widened/smoothed the straight DoHo straight (needs to go downhill more, hello, Beta testers???)
            Bridges updated
            New grass textures by Robert Hagenström :)
            Toll booth/ Parking Lot area (By me :) (Mapping taken from Jordy's Photos) needs grass below removed                because of funny 'quicksand' asphalt.
             (*****Only in N'Ring Nordschleife Test*****)
            Camera's added to SCN by Rob Vail!!!!!! :)

8/20/2002 - Now contains a 'prototype' version of the NEW corner (N'Ring Nordschleife Test in the Track List in                 SCGT) with a revised (rough) starting position. (NRND* files)
            [Original Nurburgring Nordschleife still exists], but has updated (Modern) corners.

Known issues:

Probably alot, but I'm getting tired of working on this now!!!
Sometimes a CTD, but restarting SCGT has always cured it for me. (Not sure why?)
AIW needs work to become 'competitive'

----------------

My 2 cents:
 I've been running with the 1024 resolution with High graphics settings in SCGT.
 My computer specs (PII, 350Mhz, 98M RAM, Voodoo3, Win98) definately NOT a top notch rig [Geesh, it's 3 years old!!! :]
 {{Look in the SCN file for notes on the seperate .MAS file descriptions}}
Love driving it!
