Not trying to be a ****, but it was Jackie Stewart who gave it the name
"the green hell"

From: http://www.lycos.com/info/jackie-ste...ellaneous.html

"Despite masterfully winning a Formula One race there, Jackie Stewart dubbed it "The Green Hell". For those who know of it, the Nürburgring Nordschleife (or Northern Loop) is the Mecca of racing enthusiasts. Nestled among the Eifel mountains of western Germany, this 13-mile track has stood as the ultimate test of driver and machine since its construction in the late 1920's. It is arguably the most difficult and dangerous track anywhere in the world--and it's open to the public! God bless the Germans."

Sorry, not trying to burst your bubble or anything like that.

Jakie does an awesome ride along where he talks you through the entire track, he even tells you what gears he's in. You can get it on DVD on
'50 years of Formula 1'. This was when the Nurburgring was literally a green hell, no crash walls at all, just green hedges! Once you got through the hedge you went into the trees! And if you were lucky you didn't die in the process. Definately owns up to the name "the green hell"

No problem man.:thumpup: I always thought it was Derek Bell.

Yup, the old Nur was a real death trap, I always thought of the current one a "soft" version of the old, but still is heaven.

With Nick Heidfled. Its disapointing because its a pussy crappy lap.

A couple of days before the demo BMW F1 team manager said that the car would be carrying extra weight and that the driver couldnt take the Karoussel all for safety reasons. Heidfeld quickly complained about it but the bosses didnt care. They didnt want to loose either a car or a driver.

But in my opinion you either take the Nur like a man, or stay home playing it on GT4...

Just to have an ideia how f*** pussy this was the topspeed reached was a pathetic 275kph (160-170mph) and the lap time was a stupid 8.34min!!!
