Das Nürbergring Nordschleife...
A nice info filled guide-page that Nurbergring/Nuerburgring/Nürburgring/Nordschleife/'ring noobs (and old fans alike) might find informative.
Includes a nice map as well:

A couple of curve and section names (Breidscheid, Steilstreckenkurve, Hedwigshoehe, Eiskurve and Galgenkopf) are missing in the map above though. Also often referred to unofficial names aren't mentioned (T13, Miss-Hit-Miss, Lauda Links, Angstkurve or Mutkurve).
From http://www.nurburgring.org and http://www.nurburgring.de.
Some more maps
Satellite pic with and without bend names
Altitude profile
Highest point Start/Finish 620m
Lowest point Breidscheid 320m
Greatest rise 16%
Greatest slope 11%
Height difference 300m
For more information check the websites mentioned above.

The trip reports are very nice to read as well. It provides a taste of the atmosphere there. Another good one for trip reports is http://www.jwhubbers.nl which is also mentioned on Ben Lovejoy's site.

Hehe. I also have a pdf file by Sport Auto on the lines of the Nurburgring with pictures. It's recent and in English. If you're interested, I could post it in the Photo Gallery or, if that's not possible, I can send it to you.

Nice find though

Very interesting! BTW, even if it has 174 turnes, knowing roughly were you are going to put you wheels on is important and useful
