If you've spent any time reading about cars,

Adverbs of manner

and arguably the most dangerous race course in the world.

But it's become a sort of holy destination for drivers,

professional and amateur, who make the pilgrimage

the ring has tragically claimed the lives

Legendary Formula One driver Jackie Stewart

famously crowned the track the "Green Hell,"

But just what makes the Nürburgring so brutal?

but it's the site's northern loop, or Nordschleife,

the Nordschleife remains the ultimate test of skill

amongst professional drivers competing in extreme races,

like the 24 Hours of Nürburgring endurance race.

A closer look at the track reveals three things

blind corners, and the lack of runoff areas.

For an idea of just how severe the Nürburgring's are,

to its lowest is a jaw-dropping 985 feet.

The shifts in elevation are abrupt and spontaneous,

for those who don't know the track thoroughly,

One of the best examples of this happens fairly early

in the track, at a section known as Fox Hole.

This section features five sweeping corners

when the track goes into a steep downhill descent

that you feel more g-forces than you've ever felt.

To better understand what driving through it is like,

we caught up with someone who circles the Ring

who knows every inch of the track like the back of his hand.

He's even managed to guide a driver around it

It's a very, very downhill descent followed

like, "Oh, let me see what the top speed of my car is

you will most likely end up in the barrier.

that drivers face one of the most daunting

Known for its number of career-ending accidents,

where drivers will find it nearly impossible

Misha: So, you actually, literally, your car will jump

three times over, I would say, a period of one minute.

Your car will be airborne one time straight

one time you will go a bit sideways maybe even

in the air as well, and one time you will be going

over 120 mph over a slight bump while changing direction.

So, when you have a mistake there it will usually end up

in a very, very...let's say track closure.

Narrator: But it isn't simply jumps and drops

that cause so many accidents on the Nürburgring.

The Ring's infamous turn they call Kallenhard,

about five miles into the track, is the perfect example
