NÜRBURGRING

Located in the mountains of the Eifel region, the Nürburgring hosted its first races in 1927. Quickly, due to its dangerous layout with very high average speeds, trees surrounding the track and virtually no run-off areas, the 22 km-long track earned itself the nickname "Green Hell".
To solve the safety issues, in 1984 a new, safer track was built, the GP-Strecke: thanks to the abundance of low and mid-speed corners the new layout is deemed as very technical but the lack of high-speed sections and heavy braking zones means that overtaking is very difficult. As a consequence, a good qualifying should be the key to a successful race weekend.
