NASCAR: 5 non-NASCAR tracks where eNASCAR iRacing should race
1. Nürburgring Nordschleife
This one seems like an obvious choice to me. The best configuration in iRacing would be the combination of the old Nordschleife at the Nürburgring with the present-day Grand Prix circuit.
The combined track, located in Nürburg, Germany, is a 17-turn, 15.770-mile (25.379-kilometer) road course. I’m sure that any drivers who would take part in an eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series race at this track would log more practice time throughout the week than they would at any other track.

It would be a challenge to have an eNASCAR event at the Nürburgring, and not just for the drivers. The format of the race would be very difficult to come up with.
As we have seen, these virtual NASCAR races have been full of cautions, and there would definitely be an abundance of cautions at a track like the Nürburgring. But having caution laps on a track that is over 15 miles in length could be a problem. The number of laps that would make up the race would have to be discussed, or maybe we could see the first ever timed eNASCAR race.

But even with all of these unanswered questions, the whole concept of the eNASCAR iRacing Pro Invitational Series is for fun and entertainment during tough times, and the combination of the old Nordschleife at the Nürburgring with the present-day Grand Prix circuit would provide that. I don’t think there is any other track in the world that would provide a virtual NASCAR race more entertaining to watch.
