The "Ring" in the lovely "Eifel" mountains was constructed and finished
in June 1927. It was Germanys first racetrack and had an original
length of 28.265 km (Nordschleife 22.810 km + Südschleife 7.747
km, Start- und Zielschleife 2.238 km). The racetrack has 88 left and 84
right turns. Only if you have driven on the "Grüne Hölle"
(green hell) yourself you can feel the fascination of this unique
racetrack in the world.
Jackie Stewart gave the Nurburgring it's famous name

hell due to the demanding track and the special challenge for every
race driver
