Nürburgring GP

// the circuit

The modern Grand Prix circuit at the Nürburgring complex in the Eifel mountains of Germany. Built in 1984 alongside (and partially replacing) the legendary 20.8 km Nordschleife for F1 racing.

// history

The original 1927 Nordschleife was banned from F1 in 1976 after Niki Lauda's near-fatal accident. The GP-Strecke was built next to it, but the Nordschleife still hosts the famous 24-hour endurance race each year.
