What is Nürburgring 24h?
In the world of sim racing, the Nürburgring's Nordschleife stands out as one of the most challenging circuits for drivers. Popularly known as the "Ring," this legendary track winds its way through 12.9 miles of Germany's Eifel Mountains, offering impressive climbs and descents with an elevation change of nearly 1,000 feet per lap. More than 70 iconic corners, including Hatzenbach, Adenauer Forst, Wehrseifen, Karussell, Pflanzgarten, and Schwalbenschwanz, make it a true challenge for drivers who tackle this circuit.
Built between 1925 and 1927, the Nürburgring featured two tracks: the prominent Nordschleife and the smaller Südschleife. Central to the circuit's history, the Nordschleife hosted the Formula One German Grand Prix until the 1970s. However, following a serious accident in 1976 that nearly claimed the life of Niki Lauda, Formula One moved to Hockenheim, reinforcing the Nordschleife's reputation as a challenging circuit revered by sim racing fans.
