What is the Green Hell Track Pack?
The Green Hell Track Pack makes 6 track layouts of the iconic Nürburgring and the Nordschleife to Automation - The Car Company Tycoon Game. Challenge your cars on the most difficult active race track in the world!


Nürburgring GP
The GP track version of the modern circuit, including the Dunlop Kehre.

Nürburgring Sprint
The Sprint version of the modern circuit, not going to the Dunlop Kehre.

Nürburgring 24h
The version used in the legendary 24h races: GP layout without Mercedes Arena + Nordschleife

Nürburgring VLN
The version in the VLN/NLS: Sprint layout + Nordschleife

Nürburgring Nordschleife
The version using only the old part of the track, used by many car manufacturers to post record about their cars' performance on the Nordschleife.

Nürburgring BTG
The part of the Nordschleife you can drive your own car on during the Touristenfahrten. The Sector 2 time gives you the time from "Bridge to Gantry" (BTG).






Map data: Google, GeoBasis-DE/BKG, GeoContent, Landsat/Copernicus, Maxar Technologies
Where to download the Green Hell Track Pack?
Go to this Automation Discourse Forum thread[discourse.automationgame.com] to find the download of the Green Hell Track Pack.

The Test Track Sharing Forum[discourse.automationgame.com] has a lot more tracks for you to discover!

How to install custom test tracks?
Installing custom tracks is quite easy:
  • Go to your Automation save game folder (usually in your Documents folder), for example: C:\Users\<yourname>\Documents\my games\Automation
  • Create a new folder "Tracks" there, in case it does not yet exist
  • Move the downloaded zip file there and extract the archive.
Your Track folder content should now contain the downloaded tracks as seen in the following screenshot:



From there on you can select more tracks in the Test Track tab after designing your car!

Note: As the Nordschleife is quite long, calculating the track performance will take a few seconds after starting the test run.

Everything done? Alright, then start your engines!
