Default Guide to the Nurburgring (Sudschleife included!)

http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/

I did a quick search and didn't see the site mentioned so hopefully this isn't a repost.

I stumbled upon this site while looking to see if anyone has ever cataloged all the graffiti on the Nordschleife. While this place doesn't have anything like that, it's got some cool stuff, including a satellite photo of the Ring with bend names that can be used as a wallpaper

Check out the Insurance link on the site if you want to see what used to be a beautiful black F360

Note to self: Move "Drive the Nuburgring in a Ferrari" to the last thing on the Do-Before-You-Die list, because it will most likely be the thing that kills you.

It is a repost, but that's no shame because everybody should see this site!

I found the pdf file with the racing line for the NS: http://guildhouse.net/BMW330Ci/nordschleife.pdf. It's a must-have for anyone interested in the Ring.

Tragically, that is what happened to two Ferrarichat members in 2003. They were killed in a horrible crash with a 360.

i think it's really kind of a shame as to the fate of the Sudschleife. But the Ring is tricky enough without the hairpin and the bottom so i guess it had to be
