Nürburgring
Nürburgring is a 150,000-capacity motorsports
complex around the village of Nürburg,
Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.. It features a
Grand Prix race track built in 1984, and a much
longer old "North loop" track which was built in
the 1920s around the village and medieval castle
of Nürburg in the Eifel mountains. The north loop
is 20.8 km (12.9 mi) long and has more than 300
metres (1,000 feet) of elevation change from its
lowest to highest points. It is widely considered
to be the most demanding and difficult purposebuilt racing circuit in the world.
Originally, the track featured four configurations:
the 28.265 km (17.563 mi)-long Gesamtstrecke
("Whole Course"), which in turn consisted of the
22.810 km (14.173 mi) Nordschleife ("North
Loop"), and the 7.747 km (4.814 mi) Südschleife
("South Loop"). There also was a 2.281 km (1.417
mi) warm-up loop called Zielschleife ("Finish
Loop") or Betonschleife ("Concrete Loop"),
around the pit area.
Between 1982 and 1983 the start/finish area was
demolished to create a new GP-Strecke, and this
is used for all major and international racing
events. However, the shortened Nordschleife is
still in use for racing, testing and public access.
