Ringmasters

Since racing began at the Nürburgring in 1927, plenty have tried to conquer the Green Hell, and plenty have failed. But not this lot. From those heady days of endurance-style Formula 1 grands prix, to sports car, GT and touring car races, Paul Fearnley assesses the greatest drivers ever to tackle the Nordschleife, and sticks his neck out to rank them. Only one can be the true King of the ’Ring

Modern-day cult heroes

Our rundown of the Nürburgring’s past masters is dominated, as it must be, by the great figures from the circuit’s golden years. Formula 1 and the sports car 1000Kms are long gone. Yet new heroes have been created on the Nordschleife in the modern era, thanks largely to the Nürburgring 24 Hours, which was first held in 1970. Here’s our selection of the new kings (and queen) who have kept the flame burning bright.

HEAVEN OR HELL?
