Which DLC packs contains the longest track for Nürburgring - Nordschleife?

Is it Dream Pack 1? Base game has the short circuit tracks.

Yep.

Best track in the game and the whole world.

And of interest it was originally a mod track that Kunos took over. Same as the Mazda 787B.

Oh wow, I had no idea. Kudos the original creators. Probably the best version of the Nordschleife I think I've tried in any sim to date. So much detail.

There is more if you like trivia.
There were multiple versions of Nords floating around in different games, one of which got transfered to AC before it got official nords. Notably it was not the version they used thou so there were some people claiming official was trash and the popular mod was better :D. It wasnt ofc, especially since official was laser scanned.

Now it sounds strange for a mod to be then laser scanned, but the key thing is that the track is "based on mod". It easier to tweak an existing track acording to LS data than build from scratch. So even if there were more popular versions of the track around, that data elevated whatever mod kunos used to "best in town" staturs at least till iRacing started to update their tracks some years later.

Assetto Corsa Competizione Doesn't have this track?

Ooo interesting! I wonder if the creator of the original mod that was used is still releasing tracks and mods

Nope. ACC is strictly GT racing only and the Nordschleife isn't a GT track anymore, but the smaller Nurburgring GP circuit is and I think that is in ACC.
