25 years ago I owned a Porsche 911 and made regular weekend trips to the Nürburgring to have some fun. But there was a sudden end when I came around one of the blind corners and suddenly had a coach with tourists right in front of me. My speed was around 180 km/h at that time, the coach at an estimated 40. Fortunately I managed to pass the bus (no chance for braking). Although I had paid for three more rounds I left the track immediately and never returned. A few years later I heard that coaches were banned from the track because they hac regularly caused horrible accidents. The learning is that driving fast is obviously dangerous but on the Nürburgring driving slow is dangerous, too. One more thing: Most European car manufactures facilitate the Nordschleife as a testing track. In just a few weeks you can simulate years of a car‘s life in terms of stress, wearing and behaviour at the limit.

In 1976 at the Formula One (F1) German Grand Prix, Austrian three-times F1 World Champion Niki Lauda crashed on this track in his Ferrari 312T2 racing car just before Bergwerk at Nordschleife ("North Loop"). The Ferrari burst into flames and Lauda was trapped in it until freed and pulled from it by fellow drivers a few minutes later. He barely survived and suffered severe burns to his face and head, scarring him for life. The 2013 Ron Howard movie "Rush" with Daniel Brühl and Chris Hemsworth covers this crash and the Hunt-Lauda F1 rivalry.

i live near the nürburgring and its just the main part of my life. watching a race is my first memory i ever had (at age 1 or 2) and my life is soooo much about cars, i dont even bother thinking about other things. im 20 and have never had a relationship, thats partially because theres just car stuff in my head. and on weekends i take my own car to the ring, a brutally underpowered vw fox with 54hp but on semi slicks and that thing will die on every straight, in one section with a 17% elevation im literally getting slower at 110kph but because the car is so light, the turns are a dream. i can literally stick to the rear bumper of a fully built, rollcaged, semi slicked, interior stripped, bucket seat, kw v3 track tool like an e36 and stay on him on my favorite section which is hohe acht (the highest point in altitude) until brünnchen. but one thing is very wrong: people dont crash their car frequently, you watched the absolute wrong video to get to know the track. the guy who made the video has no idea either. almost everyone who even does a single lap knows pretty well what corners are coming at what point by at least watching videos or by playing some racing games. most people there have their project car that they only have for doing laps on weekends and ofc everyone of them has experience. you will never go like “haha lets go flat out and see what happens”, the first laps are always very careful to get a feeling of your cars behavior and feel the bumps in the road to get used to how you will have to predict the cars reaction when you take them at higher speeds. and going on the limit in a regular road car is actually so fast already that its miles out of anyones comfort zone and you always underestimate the car instead of overestimating it. its really a wrong impression that people crash their cars there all the time. let there be 2-3 accidents per day with many thousands of laps being driven. and then theres a lot of safety systems ofc, as soon as anything unusual happens, they bring out the flags and indicate that you have to go slow and watch out, and even if they wouldnt do that and even though corners are sometimes blind (by far not 90% of them) you are still slow enough to brake when anything would be on the road. the faster you can go through a corner, the wider that corners radius has to be auyomatically so you see further. crashing into a standing car ag 200kph because you couldnt see it is just not happening. also, the track is very wide, there can always be 3 cars next to each other in terms of space easily. come to germany, ill take you for a lap xD… i personally have done about 19.500 laps in granturismo and i have several world records at the track, including the fastest time in any road car with any modifications and settings to the car, the fastest ever lap in the night without lights (yes its basically going blindfolded entirely) and the fastest lap in reverse gear ever done, made possible by an unusual gearbox setting that allows you to make the first gear suuuuper long. and simracing helps crazy for real life experience. when i got my license in 2021 and did my first lap, i already knew every millimeter of the track and how every bump and every curb feels in any possible speed you can hit them at so that my first lap irl was literally just muscle memory in slow motion.

The Nürburgring has been opened in 1927 when racing was a lifethereatening adventure so there are only few safety measures, at least on the famous north loop; modern Formula 1 races were held on the much shorter south loop, of course with recent safety standards. Yes, every amateur could buy a ticket and explicitly risk his life on that circuit.

Nürburgring is a publicly accessible toll road with one way traffic. It's privately owned road so if you crash the barrier, not only you have to pay for removal and repair of your own car, you also have to pay for the repairs you cause to the road. For example, if your car leaks oil to the road, you have to pay for its removal. If you damage the steel barriers, you have to pay to replace the barriers. Toll for riding one lap around the ring is 30-35 euros. Or you can get season ticket for 3000 EUR which people like Misha obviously get. The video recording rules are pretty strict, too. You are not officially allowed to publish any crash videos from Nürburgring but some people take a risk and publish videos anyway.

Just to explain how wild the Nurbrurgring is, the video left out a lot of things, first of all, it is not counted as a Racetrack, it is actually a road, yes, it is not a racetrack, which means, Road laws apply, meaning, you could theoretically be fined for speeding, and such offenses, yes the nurburgring has Speed limits, and yes it is also used as a road. About every day you can purchase a Ticket to drive on the closed up ring, which is called touristen fahrten, tourist drive, when that is not going, the track will have some sections opened up to allow the surrounding villages to to use parts of the track as a normal road. Nicki Lauda famously tried to stop an F1 race on the Nurburgring, he tried to convince everyone not to drive but failed, he also started the race, which turned out to almost be he undoing, he crashed and almost burned to death. The Green Hell has different Weather zones, it can happen that one Part has sunshine, the other rain and one more has a hailstorm freezing the track, not joking, it happened, kzitem.info/news/bejne/p42c0WeHfpSWfoY The 24Hr race is famously open to anyone, from Professionals to private teams, you can find an Opel Manta, Dacia (R.I.P) and until recently a Dodge Viper converted to LMP gas. starting field is usually 150 or so cars, from near stock cars to GT Cars, it's all there, there is an unholy plethora of classes. The Biggest Challenge the ring has is not winning, but finishing, when BMW released their new M6 GT3 car, none of them Finished, generally, BMW is a meme, usually a large portion of them won't finish. The track only has illumination around the GP track, rest is pitch black darkness. As many mentioned, Sabine Schmitz, the Queen of Ring, famously broke a record with a Van, she was the Wife of Klaus Abbelen, and founded the Team Frikadelli Racing, she died due to Cancer, but received a late gift, Frikadelli Racing with the brand new Ferrari won the 2023 N24, not just is the win for her, but it also marks the first time Ferrari won ever and they managed to beat the distance record.

You should watch the on board video of the Track record in under 6 minutes set by the Prosche 919 Hybrid Evo. It takes corners at full speed where you‘d normally brake. Very impressive!

Hey Ryan, nurburgring is a very known track worldwide where amateur people want to race around, you can buy a ticket and go for a lap around the track with almost any car. Last year I went on vacation to the Nurburgring with some friends and went and got a lap around the track, people from all over the world come to visit the Nurburgring with their car to take a lap. It is really fascinating to see that you have people from England, the Netherlands, Germany itself, France and so on go to that track and see what kinds of cars there are

When it comes to runoff areas you could almost consider the Nordschleife a city circuit. The GP-track to the south has more runoff and even hosts F1 races sometimes (the Nordschleife did too, but can't fulfill the current safety rules. Also it is over twice the maximum length for F1 tracks)

I was grown up und the Eifel in the near of the Nürburgring. And yes, you can Drive with your normal car this Track, nur there are a lot of famous Professional Racing Events like 24h Race or Formula one. One day on my bucket List is to Drive with a Race Taxi, where you Drive line in a Taxi in the Front on the Right Side of the Car and the driver is a pro Racer

Ryan; The Nuerburg Ring was a "make-work" project in the early '30's. It was built in a forest, and as a driver you have no physical reference hints to the road because there are no houses, road crossings, signs, - none of the normal things that as a driver tell you where you are at. The layout is fiendishly clever. You come up a hill (and can't see the coming turn till you crest the hill, and then find that you have a sharp right or left turn. The only clue you as a driver have, are the kilometer markers. When I lived in Koeln, my cohort / our helicopter pilot and I would declare a holiday from our daily helicopter problems (we were delivering 25 Sikorsky helicopters to the German Army) and jump into our 356 Porsches; head for the Nuerburg Ring and chase each other several times around the track for an afternoon. Anybody can drive it; you just pay an admission fee.... The idiot drivers, thinking that they are race drivers, usually manage to crash their cars. The towing service is happy to retrieve the wrecked car and take it back to the entrance. We've put in many a driving round on the Nuerburg Ring track, but drove very carefully, knowing its deviousness. The real Grande Prix racing speeds that race drivers are doing means that they have to know every meter of the course; know exactly where they are on the course; and, .... know exactly what's coming at them in the next corner. The slightest misjudgements on the part of the driver, and he's dead.

i used to race on the ring with the annual fee card from 1998 to 2008 .....and at least i crashed 2 cars with no accidents ( engine explodes , and gearbox rupture ) a pretty expensive fun ... but as misha said ....after more than 90 years of history there is nothing to impress .. my saying was allways " there is nothing to win , but a damn lot to loose " .. even 20 years ago in a 200 hp clio williams it was expensive as fuck , and the behaviour of the drivers is getting more and more reckless due to .....money no problem ....so , i still love the ring , thank god i live only 35 minutes away and can take some laps during the summer on the weekends . but never again as a full hobby for the whole weekend . in 2000 i drove to the ring , getting a full tank , making a few laps , getting a full tank again , getting a few laps , refuel ,...going home .....roughly 300 eur......today that would be a 1200 eur tour no thank you

Nürburgring is a public toll road, also is the TT a public road what also a race track. guy in vid says Nürburgring is longest track in the world, its long from far from the longest track. Nürburgring 20.832 km (12.944 miles)154 corners, the Isle of Man TT transferred to the much longer Snaefell Mountain Course of 37.40 miles (60.19 km) 219 corners. sure they not got any tracks over 37.40 miles long, Nürburgring the same it closes for events and opens up for the public as a toll road, same goes for TT, Between races the public can give it a go, out town no limits the island is a one way system for track. some say its just for the race weeks no speed limits but read somewhere else no limits when see national speed limit sign, sign is a white circle with a black diagonal line running through it.

The Nüerburgring Nordschleife is a former Formula 1 race track till Niki Lauda got nearly (video on YT Niki Lauda accident) grilled there during an F1 race. Still, there are many car competitions over the year, even 24h races. If there is no event everybody can do 1 or more rounds for a fee with his own car. Actually, the track record for a serial car is held by an American car: a Tesla Model S plaid. There is a video of this record on YT.

Yes, racing is a big hobby in Germany. Especially young people, who just got their license, are dylng like flies on the streets. That´s not a joke. Years ago, they got cheap cars with 40HP or so, now they can cheaply tune them up to 200HP or more. Not that it would make them safer. They pull other people into de4th, too. The only reason I´m driving a heavy SUV now.

I have driven the Nurburgring a few times and love it. The thing why you see normal cars on it iq for touristenfahrten wich means everyone can drive on it for a small fee, a lot of unexperienced people crash then but its actually very cool to see and go there.

I live not far from it and I pass it once in a while during a 1 day motocycle trip. Some times I stop and watch privat driving on the track. I've seen already quite a few crashes. Many years ago I took my heard in my hand and went for a ride. It was an amazing and scary experience for the first time. But I never did it again. You need a lot of time and quite a bit of money (35€/turn) to gain the experience to set a reasonably good lap time. Sabine Schmitz (Queen of Nürburgring) made it in a bit more than 10 minutes in a Ford Transit diesel van ... a lap time that a lot of Porsche driver could never reach. 😁

I´ve visited the ring plenty of times and actually drove 5 laps in total with my old BMW (2005 E90 330i), basically a completely stock street car. Theres those trackdays called "Touristenfahrten" where you can buy a ticket for one lap and drive anything as long as it is streetlegal. There´s some special rules, such as overtaking is only allowed on the left side and it doesn´t really matter if you´re going fast or taking it easy. It´s basically just going for a sunday drive with a few dozen other people on the same street, except some of them are going fast as hell ^^ I can say it is so much fun, but indeed dangerous if you´re going fast and not really know what you´re doing. I´ve had a moment myself at Pflanzgarten (the jump section), right after the jump there´s a sharp right turn and in that exact spot, my brakes faded and I almost went off. What´s really interesting is that you really learn how a car behaves in abnormal situations. If you´re going fast on this circuit, you´ll find yourself in situations that would never ever occur on regular public roads and you´ll get a better understanding of your car.
