The Nürburgring, often called "The Green Hell," is one of the most iconic and challenging racetracks in the world, located in the Eifel mountains of Germany. Originally opened in 1927, this legendary circuit is renowned for its demanding turns, elevation changes, and complex layout, making it a true test of driver skill and vehicle performance.

The Nürburgring actually comprises two main tracks: the Nordschleife (North Loop), which is 20.8 kilometers (about 13 miles) long and famous for its scenic yet brutal design, and the Grand Prix Circuit, a shorter, more modern track often used for international racing events like Formula 1. Together, these tracks allow for a unique combination of vintage racing appeal and modern competitive racing.

Car manufacturers often bring their prototypes to the Nürburgring for testing, as its diverse terrain and challenging corners make it ideal for fine-tuning performance. Known for its high-speed straights, blind turns, and technical sections, the track attracts not only professional drivers but also car enthusiasts, who can pay for “Touristfahrten” (public driving sessions) to experience the track firsthand in their own cars or rented ones.
