Nurburgring Nordschleife race track, Germany Coffee Mug

The Nurburgring, or the Green Hell as it is also known, is the toughest race track on earth. In the classic era of motorsport it was in the same league as the Targa Florio and Carrera Panamericana. Your lap time around the Nordschleife gives you a certain status among racing drivers. Depending on how fast you were, of course. It is here where big names batted it out in the gruelling endurance races of the fifties, sixties and seventies. Today they still do, albeit mostly when factory test drivers take pre-production cars out for testing on this circuit. The Nurburgring is also open to the public and car enthusiasts from across the world test their skills (and cars) here, on what they call Touristenfahrten Days. On any given day you will see many a supercar lining up to go onto the track. This is where the air cooled 911 proved itself. Whether you’ve been to the Nurburgring (or Nurburg or even Germany for that matter) or simply admire it, this high quality item is made with you in mind. It will also make an ideal gift to anyone interested in fast cars, classic cars or speed!
