The Green Hell -  Nürburgring The track which has witnessed 100 years of history, started to establish its foundation from 1920 in the town of Nurberg, Germany. The north loop is approximately 22 km long, with around 154 turns and it has more than 1000 feet of elevation change from its lowest to highest point.

I was never sure I'd come home again." The Nürburgring is known as the most dangerous track in the world. It was made to take and test the vehicle to its extreme condition.
