The contruction of the nurburgring began in 1925 and was finished in 1927. Originally, only motorcycles raced as cars were still reletivly new. Racing paused for the 2nd world war but resumed in 1947. In the 60's, the gran prix track began to hold formula 1 races. A few year later though, safety prosest amongts f1 teams and drivers meant that the nurburgring was to dangerous to race at so in the earl 70's the track got a complete overhaul with new corners, less bumps, and most importantly, safety barrier along the entire track. F1 did come back but only for a few years and eventauallt left agian due to how many people were required to staff the massive track. Although f1 left, many events still occur, mostly endurance races but for 16 weeks a year, automotive comanites have unlimited acess to the track test race and production cars

The track has seen many layouts throughout the years. It started as a route through a few german towns that bordered nurburg, then in 1925, a layout was paved through the german woods. Since then, not many things have changed to the layout, just a few additions of chicanes and the addition of a few newer turns. Currently, there are 2 parts to the track, the north and south loops.

<-- The north loop (25km) wraps through the woods, featuring a whopping 154 corners, All of which have very little run off and with the old and bumpy concrete, and mistake can lead strait to a crash into the barriers

The south loop --> (5.1km) is used for formula cars, motogp and some endurance championchip cars.
