NLS & Nürburgring

The Nürburgring runs to its own rules. Its main series races on a circuit more than twenty kilometres long, with well over a hundred cars on track at once, from factory GT3 machinery down to road-legal hatchbacks. Nothing else in world motorsport looks like it, and almost none of its conventions transfer from anywhere else.

This section explains how racing at the Nürburgring actually works — the series, the classes, the licence you need before you are allowed near it, and the procedures that keep it safe.
