Nürburgring Race Track

The Nürburgring in the Eifel is a legendary race track in the Eifel region of Germany. It is a modern Grand Prix test track as well as a venue for a variety of motorsport events, including the Nürburgring 24-hour race. The Nürburgring is considered one of the most difficult and demanding tracks in the world, with a combination of tight and technical sections as well as high-speed straights such as the Döttinger Höhe.

It looks back on a long and eventful history and has been the scene of many legendary races and moments in motorsport. One of those moments was in 1976, when Austrian driver Niki Lauda suffered a near-fatal accident on the track during the German Grand Prix. Despite the severity of his injuries, Lauda made a remarkable recovery and returned to racing just six weeks later, cementing his status as a true motorsport hero.

The Nürburgring has two main circuits – the modern Grand Prix circuit and the “Nordschleife”. With its 73 curves and a length of over 20 kilometers, it is considered the real test of the circuit. The Nordschleife is also famous for its rough surface and constantly changing weather conditions, which make it a real test for man and machine. The Grand Prix circuit, on the other hand, is a more modern and smoother track on which today’s Grand Prix races are held.

Due to its difficult and demanding layout, the Nürburgring is also known as the “Green Hell” and is a popular destination for racing enthusiasts and tourists alike.
