Very old and very long track ...

 

The original track was over 20 miles long. You can drive on it as long as you want, you pay per lap!!

 

Hi Kyle,

occupation: webmaster
Have you heared about www.google.com?
Sorry, its one of the most famous race tracks of the world!
Serious, type in Nürburgring and you will get tons of results, its too much to list and tell you here in a few sentences.

It is the most fun i have EVER had in a car (and leagues better than female "back seat delight"). In fact i was JUST driving the 'ring on the XBox with a Ferrari 275. Got bored of navigating in the Enzo.

Enjoy the (Xbox simulated) Drive,

Sorry, but the famous Nordschleife is 22 kilometers long (~13,7 miles).

 

If you watch Formula 1, on May the 30th you be able to see the F1 cars racing around Nurburgring for the European GP.

 

maybe if you count the old Sudschleife and Start und Zeil schleife you'll get very close to 20 miles, or 30 km.

 

Sorry wrong!
This are 2 different race tracks!
Both at the same place but the F1 track is a brand new other track beside the old historic Nürburgring.

a review from a fellow on another board - this is probably what you want to read if you are a track nut and have only heard about it or seen the videos - http://forums.s2ki.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122111

 

Okay I wasn't sure on which he was talking about.

Wolfgang,
Have you ever been to the new one? I guess the old Nurburgring ..yes.

 

While stationed at Ramstein, my favorite thing to do was to drive the Mondial 3.2 up to the Nurburgring, just north of Bitburg. The Oldtimer Grand Prix, Ferrari Racing Days, and many other events on both the new and old tracks are fabulous - and the people are great. You can essentially walk up to the cars behind the pits and really enjoy the great enthusiasts. Met Robert Retzlaff (308 GTB register) and Edvaar Van Daalan (Telaio) there - what great folks. None better.

If you own a Ferrari, it would be well worth the life defining event of taking your car over and driving it to and on the 'ring (Free car shipping with first class berth on the QE2). In fact, just driving to the Ring on the Autobahn and beautiful German Eifel secondary roads will give you an appreciation of your car you can never realize in America. Spa is not far to the North. Would recommend Ferrari Racing Days - over 1000 Ferraris from all over Europe. And the Germans are terrific.

I'm homesick.

Here is a link to the history of the track. Its sort of a pinnacle, like climbing Mt. Everest (perhaps the analogy is apt, since alot of people who go to both are not qualified, and there is a history of tragedy associated with both places). But, the story i like best is the one about the 1935 Grand Prix, unexpectedly won by the Italians. Our hero happened to be carrying his own copy of the Italian national anthem when the hosts failed to produce theirs. I hope to go there in the right circumstances. I also understand that the taxi service is manned by some serious drivers who will take you for a hot lap. Here's the history link. http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/history.html

 

Hi Russ! Very nice to see you here! It's some time ago, but of course I still remember meeting you at the Ring. With your lovely Mondial! Those good old days ;-)

I have to go now, but I hope we can meet again one day

Grtx, Edvar

Wow!! Now thats what i am talking about Tom........give that man a Ferrari!! I have always loved Nurburgring and have been there twice. There is talk about haveing a speed limit, i say nooo! You makes your choice in life.Personaly i love the danger of anything with a high level of danger.Love that vidio, is there one of a ferrari doing it i wonder.

 

Hi John,

yes of course
I have driven last year the F1 race-track with my old 308 GTS QV and also a couple of times the famous "Nordschleife" Nürburgring with my Ferrari.

Maybe you remember our dear old friends JENS & AMAR here from the board. We have lost them both last year (20. June 2003) on our 1. Ferrarichat.com European Meeting. They died both in a horrible crash at the Nordschleife / Nürburgring with their Modena 360.
R.I.P my dear old friends!

 

That the real deal, pity to see the bikers that crashed but its the best place on earth, interrestingly they used the exact same music track that I used in my video of us doing the ring in my mates Z3.

 

I didnt know they died. I noticed they havent been posting lately. Moment of silence to the falling victims of the 'ring....moment....
