About the track
The Nürburgring-Nordschleife is the world’s most famous track. This 20.8 kilometers long asphalt strip in the Eifel Mountains has a height difference of a good 300 meters. A few laps around this track does not suffice to learn its turns. You always treat this track with the proper respect; this old school racetrack does not have many run-off areas. It opened in 1927 with many historic races driven by Auto Unions, Mercedeses and Alfa Romeos in the 30s, Nuvolari, Carracciola and Rosenmeyer being some of the biggest names. After the Second World War, the Nordschleife was a fixed item on the Formula1 Championship calendar, bearing winners such as Ascari, Fangio, Surtees, Clark, Stewart and Ickx. After the F1 era, the fastest cars were the Group C cars, with Stefan Bellof still holding the lap record. Each year, the 24 Hours of the Nordschleife are one of the track’s highlights, beside the DTM, Trucks race and the 1,000 kilometers race.
At least once in his or her life, every true petrol head must have experienced this track, but beware! It is highly addictive!
Open for street and race cars, GT and Touring cars. (Also sportscars like Radicals are allowed.)
NOT allowed: Formula cars, convertibles without rollcage, SUV's.
