Product Review

This book is a detailed guide to the 20.832 km Nürburgring Nordschleife, as the track is modeled in Need For Speed Shift 2: Unleashed. It is not a gaming guide. If you are seeking a gaming guide that teaches you shortcuts on achievement badge earning, tips on points scoring, or cheats on beating online opponents unfairly, you have come to a wrong place. What you will find in this book are technical topics covering hardware configuration, software configuration, race car dynamics, racing components, car set-up, driving techniques, racing rules, race tactics, and psychology of race driving. I also provide, as bonus content, the Grand-Prix-Strecke track and the DAC 24h Rennen VLN track. I describe the tracks, corner-by-corner and bump-by-bump, with the cockpit view screenshots.
