Description

The Nürburgring is a household name for motor-racing enthusiasts all over the world. It is regarded as the mother of all racetracks and the term 'tradition' just isn't powerful enough for describing it. On 18th June 1927, after a construction time of only two years, the circuit staged its first motor-racing event. Since then, the legendary Nordschleife has been both loved and dreaded by the drivers. And at the latest when the British three-time Formula One World Champion Jackie Stewart gave the circuit the name 'The Green Hell', the myth was born. Up to and including the 1993 season, DTM also contested its races at the Nordschleife. But to provide the visitors maximum race action, the DTM races have been contested at the short 3.629-kilometres version of the GP circuit since then - what means far more laps, more action and - consequently - more fascination. Meanwhile, winning at the Eifel still is something very special for the 18 drivers.
