That looks like a really cool place, although some of those guard rails are really close. Not much run off.  |
Nurburgring was one of the classic grand prix tracks of the 20s and 30s. The old Nurburgring was not one but two circuits which could be used together (making a total of 172 corners) or as separate entities. The Nordschleife (North Loop) was 14.2 glorious miles of tarmac and the Sudschleife (South Loop) was a mere 4.8-miles. Where the two tracks met there was the paddock, the pits, a magnificent wooden grandstand and even a place to stay - the Sporthotel.
