CarbonWest - Chris Broster - Bristol & Bath AO Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 F1 back at Nurburgring... The grand prix at the Nurburgring, which last hosted a race in 2013, is expected to be held on 11 October, when it will be vulnerable to bad weather. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formula1/53527355 This should be an awesome race and really challenge ALL of the teams and drivers to produce a car that can cope with all that the 'ring can throw at it! I for one can't wait! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly not the original green hell which does not exist anymore , not even the modern day sanitised version of the old track but the "new nurburgring " a shadow of its former self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not in its original form , most of the circuit was altered for safety sake , most or all of the airborne sections and some blind corners and bumpy bits were leveled off . The main straight was like a roller coaster ride , cars used to get airborne on the flat out straight until they sent the bulldozers in . The bend you show in the picture was notorious because the camber used to drop away half way round , not anymore , its been made nice and smooth and safe with an added pretty run off area . So There ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
