Nurburgring is one of the most feared race track in the world. Richard Hammond of Top Gear UK called this German track the widow maker considering all the deaths this track has seen in all these years. Jeremy Clarkson told in one of the episodes of Top Gear,
“over the years, this track has claimed over 200 lives.”
The track was constructed back in the mid to late 1920s. Germans had started to race on the roads, and soon the government realized that there is a need for a dedicated race track like Monza in Italy.
