The Assetto Corsa Weekly Challenge
Discussion
Nordschleife Tourist (all versions) is part of dream pack 1 DLC - http://store.steampowered.com/app/347990/
No idea how the consoles handle the DLC.

That is very weird. It's not mentioned in any of the PS4 DLC:

However, as it appears to be PC DLC, there needs to be a contingency for people who may not have it. As the challenge has started it would be unfair to change it now.
I assume you all have a version of the Nordschliefe in you game copies? If so, you could manually time from bridge to gantry, starting your acceleration at the gap in the barrier that denotes the usual tourist entrance. Timing could be by pausing and noting the lap time as you pass under bridge and gantry, then adding/subtracting from lap total times.
It's not perfect I know, but I do apologise as I did not realise some standard console content (or is it? assuming we get to the bottom of Papa John's mystery) was PC DLC.

Thanks.. Looks like it's 24.99 on PS4 store and 5.79 each for the individual packs but I guess if there's more content to come it will be worth it.
Not sure about future DLC, but it already gives you porsche 1,2 and 3, red pack (ferrari and maserati), prestige pack, japanese pack and performance packTo be fair though the game is ludicrously underpriced when you consider the work that had gone and does go into it and the size of the consumer base for such a niche product as an accurate racing sim. I also think that the DLC is reasonable when you consider the work that miust go into the cars, and of course the tracks also, being laser scanned. On that note, for anyone interested, this month's 'Race Car Engineering' has a feature on RFactor Pro and they talk about the track creation process.
On the PC we also have access to very good 3rd party cars and tracks.

You're basically missing half the game, then.
Also PS4/Xbox users - Nurburgring Tourist IS in the normal version of the game, but only under 'Practice'. You can't 'Hotlap' it.
Yeah I remember playing the tourist track in an online event a couple weeks back. Also PS4/Xbox users - Nurburgring Tourist IS in the normal version of the game, but only under 'Practice'. You can't 'Hotlap' it.
You guys enjoy the challenge, I'll happily wait till there's content I have .............
I picked up dirt rally,so I'm off to practice pikes peak for this weeks event
Sorry that I've been too busy lately to take part (restoring an old house and getting my racing car ready for 2017), but I had some free time last night and did one lap just to see what the car was like 
It's quite a handful if you try to push it isn't it? 
I may get time for another lap or two this evening.
