You’ll often hear many moto enthusiasts talking about the Nürburgring but what is it that makes it so special. The track has featured on the likes of Top Gear, but then again which track hasn’t. There have been many different Nürburgring editions, such as the Vauxhall Corsa VXR , and it basically means it’s the ultimate sports version.
The Nürburgring itself is now mainly used for testing, and it’s difficult bends and sharp corners make it an ideal track for handling. The track has changed shape over time but it’s now widely recognised as one of the most demanding and difficult purpose-built racing circuits in the world.
The lap record is still held by Michael Schumacher, and there is now public access to the track. Some racing does go on here but it’s nothing like it was back in the 1980s. It’s one of those tracks that will just never be forgotten, and there have been many fatal accidents on this track over the years.
