The Nurburgring - site of the 2006 European Grand Prix on May 7th. Its also one of the most difficult tracks to drive.
Despite masterfully winning a Formula One race there, Jackie Stewart dubbed the Nurburgring "The Green Hell". For those who know of it, the Nürburgring Nordschleife (or Northern Loop) is the Mecca of racing enthusiasts. Nestled among the Eifel mountains of western Germany, this 13-mile track has stood as the ultimate test of driver and machine since its construction in the late 1920's. It is arguably the most difficult and dangerous track anywhere in the world and it's open to the public! God bless the Germans.
This magnificent track features sweeping curves, variable surfaces, dramatic climbs and drops, and a back straight over a mile long. There truly is nothing like it anywhere else in the world. There are other tracks, but there is only one Nürburgring.
