Project Gotham Racing 3 for the Xbox 360 has a few variations of the Nürburgring. The "test" track for the game seems to be the F1 circuit, and throughout the game there are at least 3 variations, including a gigantic one that is rated at about 9 minutes at the easiest skill level, so this is probably the full-size version.

As someone recently had deleted a remark about motorcycle racing - please remember that the Nürburgring is more than just "related to Formula One"! --Matthead 00:32, 19 November 2005 (UTC)
I think we should have a separate article for the Nordschleife (as opposed to the F1 circuit). The two are quite different in terms of the style of the circuit and types of races held there--210.185.68.90 05:03, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
I don't think a separate article is required, but it would be nice if there was more information on the GP Strecke, such as the recent change from 4.5 to 5.1 km. And perhaps a little more on the Südschleife. Balfa 16:15, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Anyone knows how to pronounciate "Nordshleife" correctly - "Nord-shlai-fe" or "Nord-shlee-fe"? Honeyman 18:52, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
- "Nearboorgring Nord-shlaif-ay" --Matthead 00:48, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
What is the English translation of the word "Touristenfahrten"? Recury 20:11, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
- "tourists' drives". --Matthead 23:31, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Note that the nickname "The Green Hell" wasn't given to it by Jackie Stewart, its a translation of the German nickname "Die gruene Hoelle" that was long associated to it.
"alternative spelling without umlaut: Nuerburgring, but never Nurburgring" why is it never spelled Nurburgring? Where did Nuerburgring come from? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 74.227.179.195 (talk • contribs) 01:37, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
- It comes from German printing conventions. --Majin Izlude 15:48, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
I am looking for the Nürburgring, does anybody know where in Germany it is? Or any major cities around it?
I corrected the coordinates of the circuit. The coordinates given are for the start/finish line, taken from Google Earth.--Ciroa 16:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)--
This article says the nordschleife is only open for tourists from april to november but on the official site you can still buy tickets and it looks like it's going to be open all winter. GerardK 21:38, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Castle
What is the name of the Nurburgring castle and where is the wiki page associated with it? --68.207.206.69 05:00, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
- The castle is called Nürburg, hence the name Nürburgring (Nürburg Circuit), and has an article only in de:Wiki. The castle itself is relatively unimportant, being located in an area with about as many castles as supermarkets. -84.169.79.24 03:04, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
