Trackside at Nurburgring

Filmed from one of the spectator viewing areas right next to the Nurburgring Nordschliefe, the old track called the 'Green Hell'.

Exact location is at the 17km marker, at Plfanzgarten, there's a jump and a dip that can really unsettle the car if you're going too fast at the bottom of the hill, and this can send you into the (small) gravel trap at the outside of the double right-hander.

This is a compilation of short videos taken on my camera, and represents the mix of cars, drivers, bikes, taxis and mini-buses (!) that can be on the 'ring on any given open track day. Cars have to pass on the left, just like on the Autobahn, which is why you see cars taking the long outside route going through the double turn out of sight. Cost per lap is €22, but you can get discount tickets for 4, 8, 15 or 25 laps (€390), or a year pass for €1075, which works out to about 77 laps if you paid every time, so that's a good option if you're in the area for a full weekend and haven't smashed your car already.

(Filming from inside the car is not allowed, which is why this footage is from the viewing area, but some people do it anyway
