# Forza Motorsport Finally Adds the Full Nurburgring Four Months After Launch

Say [what you will](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-people-still-arent-happy-with-forza-motorsport>) about the new *[Forza Motorsport](<https://www.thedrive.com/car-reviews/forza-motorsport-review-a-solid-reboot-strictly-for-the-racers>)*, but the team at Turn 10 Studios has been pretty consistent about providing generous post-launch content every month since the game dropped back in October. Headlining the February update is the track fans have been pining for most: the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Better late than never, I guess.

For reference, previous monthly updates saw Yas Marina, Hockenheim, and [Daytona](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/porsche-wins-the-2024-rolex-24-at-daytona>) added to the Xbox racing sim. While the game did include the much shorter (and less exciting) Nürburgring GP at launch, the Nordschleife is the full 12.9-mile loop that's often referred to as "the Green Hell." It's the one that manufacturers test new performance cars on, one-upping each other on [who can lap it the quickest](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/the-rimac-nevera-has-broken-the-production-ev-nurburgring-lap-record>), and it's also the one where the 24-hour endurance race is held every year.

Aside from content, *Forza Motorsport's* fifth major update adds numerous fixes and quality-of-life changes outlined at the end of the embedded video below, like the ability to save progress after practice sessions in the Builders Cup campaign. A significant adjustment to the game's controversial upgrade system, which will allow players to exchange regular credits for Car Points spent on parts, has [already been announced for March](<https://forza.net/news/forza-motorsport-car-progression-updates>).

Naturally, there are new in-game events that take advantage of the Nordschleife called the "Ringer Tour" and, of course, they're all centered around German performance cars from BMW, Audi, Mercedes-AMG, and Porsche. An in-game car from each of those marques is also discounted temporarily, one of which happens to be the [2023 BMW M2](<https://www.thedrive.com/car-reviews/2023-bmw-m2-review>). Complete all four Ringer Tours and players will unlock a [2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/44863/2022-porsche-718-cayman-gt4-rs-first-drive-review-makes-a-hero-out-of-you>), quite possibly the most enjoyably appropriate car one could ever take to the Nürburgring.

In short, it is an extremely German month for *Forza Motorsport* players. Perhaps as an Easter egg, Turn 10 can add the ability to throw a bunch of bratwurst in the trunks of cars as ballast.
