About Nürburgring
The Nürburgring Grand Prix Kurzanbindung configuration is one of 9 layouts available at Nürburgring - 3.629 km across 11 corners. Lap times and sessions on this layout are tracked separately from other configurations.
Overview
The Nürburgring is a motorsport complex in the Eifel hills of Rhineland-Palatinate, built around the village of Nürburg and the ruins of its medieval castle. It combines two circuits: the Nordschleife, a long road-style loop through forest and farmland that opened in 1927, and the modern Grand Prix circuit added in 1984. Jackie Stewart called the Nordschleife "the Green Hell" after winning the 1968 German Grand Prix there in rain and fog, and the name stuck. The venue is home to the 24 Hours Nürburgring and the Nürburgring Langstrecken-Serie (NLS) and has hosted rounds of the DTM. It is also a test ground for the car industry and, outside events, a toll road that anyone with a road-legal car can drive.
Technical Specifications and Track Features
The Nordschleife measures 20.832 km and has 73 corners, with about 300 metres of difference in height. The steepest climb, up to 18 percent, comes on the way up towards the Hohe Acht, and the steepest descent, up to 11 percent, in the Fuchsröhre. The Grand Prix circuit was extended in 2002 to its current 5.148 km, and it can be split into a sprint circuit and the Müllenbach loop. For the 24-hour race, parts of the Grand Prix circuit are joined to the Nordschleife to form a combined lap of 25.378 km, and the NLS also races on a combination of the two. Manufacturers and suppliers use the Nordschleife for development work because its mix of corners, gradients, asphalt types and changing weather compresses the wear of many thousands of road kilometres into a short time.
Facilities and Specialized Areas
The Grand Prix circuit has wide run-off areas, the start and finish building and the AMG grandstand, and the capacity of the complex is given as 150,000. For manufacturers there is the Test & Performance Center T13. On the public tourist drives, cars use the Nordschleife, and in 2025 motorcycles were banned from these Nordschleife laps and directed to the Grand Prix circuit. The operator also runs track days, courses, test days, driving safety training and an off-road experience. Around the circuits are hotels, the ring°boulevard and other leisure facilities.
History
Building work started in 1925 as a public works scheme to create jobs in a poor region, with a second aim of giving car makers a test track. The first races, for motorcycles and sidecars, were held on 18 June 1927. The 1976 German Grand Prix, in which Niki Lauda crashed heavily, was the last Formula One race on the Nordschleife. The Grand Prix circuit followed in 1984, and the opening race on 12 May 1984 was won by Ayrton Senna. In total the Nürburgring has hosted 42 Formula One Grands Prix, the latest being the 2020 Eifel Grand Prix. The 24-hour race has been run since 1970. After the operating company Nürburgring GmbH went insolvent in 2012, the complex was sold in 2014 for 77 million euros, and by 2016 NR Holding of Viktor Kharitonin held almost all of it, with Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co. KG as the operating company.
