WELCOME TO NURBURGRING 24 HOURS

SPECIAL EVENT ON ASSETTO CORSA

Submerse yourself into the world of endurance racing, where strategy, dealing with traffic, and driving fast yet consistently is key. Special events will be free to enter and enjoy for you and your friends! 

CIRCUIT

You will be racing on Nordschleife - Endurance layout. It combines the legendary Nordschleife circuit with a new GP layout for a total of 25.4 km! Track knowledge is absolutely necessary to drive fast here. Nordschleife section aka the Green Hell was built all the way back in 1947. A narrow track winds through a dense forest just meters away from the track with fast blind corners. Get it right and it's bliss, get it wrong and you're in a barrier. The new GP circuit section provides much more opportunities for overtakes and is a much safer circuit. 

Car CLASSES

You are able to choose from 8 GT3 cars and 1 TCR car. The GT3 class is for more experienced drivers. Getting a GT3 car consistently fast around this circuit is no joke. GT3 cars will have open setups.

TCR cars are FWD and much more friendly. They will have a fixed setup, so drivers can fully focus on their track knowledge and technique. Expect much closer competition in TCR class.

ENDURANCE USING ONE ACCOUNT

From now, it’s enough to have one WSS account per team to participate in the race. IT IS NOT mandatory to have at least 2 drivers in a team anymore!

All the teams in the race will have to make 10 (ten) Long Pitstops, which will take 3 minutes each. It doesn’t matter if you do a driver swap during the Long Pitstop or not. However, you need to represent a team to participate in this event, even if you will race using one account. Find a team or create a team here.

ENDURANCE USING MULTIPLE ACCOUNTS

It is also possible for a team to race from different WSS accounts. You will need to make minimum 10 (ten) Long Pitstops or do the driver swaps. To race with your team members you need to join or create a team. Maximum 6 (six) drivers in one team are allowed.

- What is LONG PITS?

- Will it be a rolling or standing start?

TBA

- I have a high ping (>150) on your servers. Can I still race? 

It is more important to have a stable connection than a low ping. Read more about it here.

- How many drivers can participate in one team?

From 1 to 6 drivers can participate in one team.

- How can I test drivers swap?

One week until the NURBURGRING 24 HOURS there is a Nurburgring 1h sprint series. This race will happen every 4 hours.

- How will drivers be split into divisions?

Divisions are created based on team ratings. The highest rating teams will be in Division 1. Team rating is the average of team drivers’ ratings who registered to the race (not all drivers in the team). All team drivers can race in any WSS organizer race to increase their and team’s rating prior to the NURBURGRING 24 HOURS. Rating is captured only when NURBURGRING 24 HOURS server starts.

- Will the race be broadcasted?

There will be a stream on Youtube and Twitch of division 1. Check our social media channels in the top menu of this event.

- How will the incident system work during the race?

Incident points are calculated depending on crash impact speed ranging 1-2 for a single contact. Maximum incidents per race is set to 30. After the team exceeds 30 incidents drive-through penalty applies.

- STOP n GO penalty

Stop n Go penalty must be served in any place of the pitlane but not in your pit box. If you get a penalty entering the pits, the penalty must be served in another lap. If the pitlane was entered for a driver swap, there will be extra wait time added to the driver swap countdown.

-How will cut warnings work?

The warning goes to all team drivers. If one driver gets a warning, second and other drivers will still have it after the driver swap. Cut warnings are set to 5. Exceeding the number of warnings will result in a drive-through penalty (entering and leaving the pitlane). After you serve a drive-through penalty, the cut warning will reset to 0.

- Can I change the car setup during the race? 

Yes, every time a new driver connects to the server, a new setup can be loaded.

-Do I have to remain in my pit box and wait for the driver swap time to go to 0?

You are able to leave your pit box before the timer goes to 0, but DO NOT leave the pit lane (do not cross the pit lane exit line).

-What penalty will I get if I will be speeding when entering pits?

there are different stages:

>80km/h drive-through.

>100km/h Stop n go 10s.

>over 200 km/h -> stop n go 60s.
