NURBURGRING  GERMANY 
European grand prix

The 'old' Nurburgring, where the German Grand Prix was held until 1976, was the most legendary grand prix circuit of all time. The track's length was by today's standards an unbelievable 14.1 miles and 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. The great Fangio took perhaps his finest win there in 1957 when he chased down the lead Ferrari's after a bungled pit stop left him trailing.

Jackie Stewart won in 1968 in the pouring rain by an amazing four
minutes - incredible because as an ardent safety campaigner, Stewart despised the track. In 1976 after Niki Lauda's near-fatal fiery crash the race 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 first grand prix to take place at the new track was the 1984
European Grand Prix which was won by Alain Prost. The circuit also hosted the German Grand prix in 1985, which was won by Michele
Alboreto - the final win of the Italian's career.
