With Peter Collins’s remembrance from his early days at Germany’s Nürburgring serving as this month’s feature article, we thought it might be nice to delve even deeper into the fabled track’s past, and therefore offer this site for your enjoyment.
While the home page by itself is active enough to keep you occupied for a while, it’s only a prelude to what’s available by following the decade-by-decade options available across the top of the page. Those various timeframes are presented in equally enticing style, with film clips and photos as well as images of event posters, all available for your enjoyment. Especially interesting to some may be the section covering 1940-1949.
Farther along the timeline, the circuit’s transformation into what some refer to as The Newburgring is chronicled, as the legendary venue is ostensibly “modernized,” but in the process reduced to a shadow of its former self—at least as far as major international competition is concerned. Finally, there’s a link to the tours available to those wanting to tackle the grand old place on their own. And who wouldn’t?
