May 2008. Ric Shaw racing
Nürburgring Nordschleife
–"<>The Green Hell"
The complete race track is 25.359 km long and full of every driving challenge you can imagine:
Some of them are well known all over the world, like "Karussell", "Brünnchen" or the endless straight "Döttinger Höhe" with the tricky left turn at the end.
Some Grand Prix drivers founded their reputation and fame by winning on the Nordschleife - like Jackie Stewart (1968) or Jacky Ickx (1969).
