| Nurburgring - BMW Course |

It’s open to cars and bikes and is on the Nordschleife or north loop where Formula 1 races used to be held until 1976, when some bloke called Lauda had a bit of a crash. You might have seen it on television a while back when Jeremy Clarkson was seen off by a girlie in a van! |
