Nurburgring - short history of the
the original 27-mile long Nürburgring track was completed in 1927 and immediately became known (some would say infamous) worldwide. Over time, various changes were made to the circuit, but has always remained a challenge and a very long time. However, as the decades past, security is becoming more and more a question for drivers and vozača.Nedostatak circle areas and bumpy, uneven corners are only two questions that were raised. Jackie Stewart is known for calling circle "green hell", a reference to its scenic location and the dangerous and demanding nature. Growing concerns finally reached its peak after Niki Lauda's horrific crash in 1976, when it is hard burned during the Formula 1 racing.
This marked the end of the Formula 1 races on the old circuit, but the German Motorcycle Grand Prix will still be held until 1980 when it was finally withdrawn for safety reasons. Changes need to be made.
a brand new 3.2-mile-long track was built and finally opened in 1984. This new compound has marked the return of Grand Prix racing at the Nurburgring.
13-mile-long Nurburgring Nordschleife (Northern loop) is created when the old trail was divided gore.Nordschleife still occasionally hosts competitive motorsport, such as the Touring Car race, but top-level events are now reserved for new circuit.
