R10 - Nurburgring Circuit, Germany
Originally built in the 1920s, Nurburgring – or ‘The Ring’ as it’s affectionately known to its legion of fans – is really two, slightly overlapping circuits.
The 21km Nordschleife is no longer used for Formula 1 races but is still open to the public as a one-way toll road, where anyone with a road-legal car or motorcycle can complete a lap for €21.
The 5.148km GP-Strecke at Nurburgring is a purpose-built international racing circuit built in 1983 and hosting Formula 1, as well as World Superbike races. It comprises eleven right-hand turns and six lefts.
The town of Nurburg is close by and just 70km south of Koln and 120km to the north west of Frankfurt.
