Nurburgring

The Nurburgring lies in the Eifel mountains of Germany, and the modern grand prix circuit sits alongside the vast, legendary Nordschleife, one of the most storied stretches of tarmac in all of motorsport. The current track is technical and undulating, and its mountain location often brings cold, damp and rapidly changing conditions that test a driver's feel for grip and a team's read of the weather.

Few names in racing carry the weight of the Nurburgring. The history soaked into the surrounding forest and the old circuit gives any event held here a distinctive sense of occasion, a link back to an older, more daunting era of the sport.
