| Circuit Details |
The 'old' Nurburgring, where the German Grand Prix was held until 1976, was the most legendary grand prix circuit there?s ever been. The track's length was, by today's standards, an unbelievable 14.1 miles and it had over 150 corners. Right from the start it had a reputation as being unforgiving and dangerous, as driver after driver perished on the sinuous course.
Fangio took perhaps his finest win there in 1957 when he chased down the Ferraris of Mike Hawthorn and Peter Collins while Jackie Stewart won in 1968 in pouring rain by an amazing four minutes. In 1976 after Niki Lauda's near-fatal fiery crash the
German GP was moved to Hockenheim where it remains today.
The Nurburgring was re-built in 1984 using a small part of old track while a completely new section was built to drag the track up to modern safety standards. The new track is largely unloved ? although the Germans turn out in force every year to cheer on Michael Schumacher.
