“The Nürburgring was built in 1927 with an exceptional length right through the forests of the Eifel. To date, it is the longest permanent race track. Even back then, the racing drivers who came to the Nürburgring knew what an incredibly special and challenging track the Nürburgring actually was,” explains Alexander, quoting Rudolf Caracciola, who won the first car race at the Nürburgring and described his experience as follows:
“When we came to the newly opened Nürburgring in 1927, our eyes were opened. We had never experienced anything like this before. There was a road in the middle of the Eifel, a closed ring with almost 180 curves spread over 22 kilometers. It was a route with gradients that hit the engine hard, but also with incredibly beautiful views far across the countryside, valleys and villages.”
On the one hand, it is the almost 100-year history that still inspires awe and respect among motorsport enthusiasts and professional racing drivers: 1000-kilometer races, fatal accidents, unforgettable Formula 1 races, new records and impressive performances by the best drivers in the world . Record world champion Michael Schuhmacher left such a lasting impression that an entire curve was named after him. When Niki Lauda’s Ferrari burst into flames on the Nordschleife in 1976, the entire motorsport world held its breath.
In addition to the history, it is the route itself that creates the myth of the Nordschleife: the unique course, the dynamics, the height differences and the unique atmosphere. If you want to complete a lap, you have to overcome over 70 curves and 300 meters in altitude. An experience that demands everything from the driver and is now possible Forza Motorsport.
