The N\u00fcrburgring is one of the world’s most well-known and iconic race tracks. Even people with no interest in racing or motorbikes have heard of the N\u00fcrburgring. It’s thrilling and terrifying in equal measures for any motorbike rider, but it’s also a beautiful circuit to head around. We’ve gathered some tips and tricks together to ride the track and get the most from your visit.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Construction for the N\u00fcrburgring started in 1925, with the track opening on 18th<\/sup> June 1927. The original track has needed many safety improvements and redesigns over the years to improve it, the main one being that a bypass meant that the original north and south loops could be combined into a 15.2-mile loop. Many large races are held at the N\u00fcrburgring, but the main reason it’s famous is because the track is accessible to the public. Anyone with a ticket, a license, and a road-legal vehicle can go round on the Touristenfahrten.<\/p>\n

The track can get incredibly busy as it is open to the general public. There is always a mix of drivers who have spent years going round, beginners who have never seen the track before, and a wide variety of vehicles capable of going a wide variety of speeds. Try going on a weekday evening for a quieter experience.<\/p>\n

Above all, the N\u00fcrburgring was designed to be challenging; it is fast with tight corners, and the visibility is 20 or 30 meters in places. This is not a place for a joy ride; it needs to be taken seriously. Crashes are frequent, and it’s common to see helicopters airlift people to hospitals. Drivers and riders can also be charged for emergency services, barrier repair, and track closures.<\/p>\n

Technically, the track is a public road, but you’ll likely need to take out specialist insurance to head around it.<\/p>\n
