Kunos Simulazioni has been developing the first laser-scanned rendition of the Nuburgring Nordschleife to make it to a PC consumer racing title. This circuit will be released for Assetto Corsa sometime in Q1 2015, and Kunos has released a new teaser photo to help stir up our appetite for the Green Hell.

This latest preview image showcases the Kleines Karussell corner, and compares it to the point cloud data gathered from the laser scanning process. Not to be confused with the other Karussell corner on the circuit, this is one of the final corners on the Nordschleife, before the incredibly long straightaway. Kleines Karussell is a very tricky corner, with the banking through the preferred line, and the transition to flat road. If you get it wrong, you could easily lose control.

The laser scan data overlay on the track truly gives you respect for how tricky the Nordschleife is. You can get a better idea of the dips, imperfections, and subtle nuances of this legendary circuit. Hopefully, they will be recreated in a great way in Assetto Corsa.

The laser scanned Nurburgring Nordschleife will be released in Q1 2015, as part of the Dream Pack DLC. The pack will also include ten cars to add to the roster. The pack is rumored to retail for around $15, and there will likely be a pre-order discount.
