The Norisring is a street circuit in Nuremberg, on the former Nazi party rally grounds (in German: "Reichsparteitagsgelände") site of the NSDAP party conventions. As the city's German name Nürnberg would lead to confusion with the already famous Nürburgring, the old name Noris was chosen for the simple track which is nowadays approx. 2300 m (1.4 mi) long.

Since May 18, 1947, motorracing events around the remaining 360 m (0.2 mi) long grand stand (Zeppelinhaupttribüne or simply Steintribüne) are held on streets that are otherwise used for public traffic. Different configurations were used in the early years, including figure-8 layouts. Nowadays, the start-finish straight in front of the central grand stand leads to a right hand sweeper and the lefthand U-turn at Grundig tower, and back in a (now lefthand) sweeper to the Steintribüne, where the "Schöller-S" right-left chicane lead to the backstraight at its backside. Cars touch the outside wall often there. After a righthand kink, the lefthand U-turn of "Dutzendteichkehre" leads back to the main straight after a flat-out lefthand kink.

Due to the proximity of the lake "Dutzendteich" and the situation inside a large city, the track and event is compared to the Monaco Grand Prix (Fränkisches Monaco).

The annual mid-July Norisrennen is considered a highlight of the Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters series, as fans get closer to the action and the drivers than on modern venues.

Mexican racing driver Pedro Rodriguez died at Norisring in 1971 when the Ferrari 512 he was hired to drive (in championship events, he used to race a Gulf Racing-Porsche 917) hit the bridge wall before Schöller-S and burst in flames. Afterwards, the track was shortened by moving the Grundigkehre U-turn closer in order to reduce corner speeds. In 2006, a memorial plaque was inaugurated at the site of the crash. Hungarian Formula 3 driver Csaba Kesjár also died at Norisring in June 1988.



Norisring Video

Here we have an example how to press a 44 lap Norisring race into youtube friendly 10 minutes. Watch Christian Danner and Nicola Larini (starting from position 15) - both Alfa Romeo chasing Jörg van Ommen / Mercedes for the lead in the last few laps. Midway through the video you'll also see Gerd Ruch and his Mustang V8 DTM proving that an all wheel-driven Alfa 155 TI cannot accelerate better than a V8.

This is a Highlight Trailer of the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo Race #2 at the Norisring in Germany. The Norisring, located in the city of Nurenberg, is one of the most dangerous racetracks since it features absolutely no safety zones, 4 different kinds of surface and a stunning top speed of up to 270 km/h on the start/finish straight. Team Lamborghini München´s driver Jens Klingmann won all three races in a row although he has never driven the car before. Achim Winter and Maximilian Goetz finished third in Race 3. Enjoy the bent metal trailer... there is more to come about Norisring.

Here you'll see a almost 10min review of the Top15 single time trial elimination of the DTM 1993 at the Norisring. Kindly excuse the wobbles. I bought my first video camera just one week before the Norisring event. As the cars were on single time trial you can really enjoy the sound of every single car. You'll see BMW E36 DTM, Opel Omega 3000 Evo 500, Mercedes 190 Evolution II / Class I and Alfa Romeo 155 V6 TI. TURN UP YOUR SPEAKERS and enjoy the sound, as I once more added some extra effort to the sound. ATTENTION: I am not responsible for any damage of your audio equipment or your hearing! ;] I hope you enjoyed. If so, I kindly ask you to leave a comment or at least rate this video. Thanx - RMA Join me on Facebook: www.facebook.com

The Porsche AG had a quite nice suprise at the Norisring race in 1994 as they presented the two Dauer 962 Le Mans to the Norisring crowd. A week earlier these two cars finished the Le Mans 24h race in #1 and #3. Actually the Dauer 962 GT road cars were developed and produced in Nuremberg, so the Porsche AG simply brought these cars to their "home racetrack". Although it was only a demonstration and the cars weren't running that fast, it definately brought back a little flair of the Group C cars which ran at Norisring from 1982 to 1989. Enjoy the noise! :] Hope you enjoyed this footage and I kindly ask you to rate this clip and to leave a comment. Thank you. Join me on Facebook: www.facebook.com

"THE RACE" is part 3/4 of the Team Lamborghini Muenchen Documentary filmed during the Lamborghini Blancpain Super Trofeo 2009 at the Racetrack "Norisring" in Germany. The Norisring, located in the city of Nurenberg, is one of the most dangerous racetracks since it features absolutely no safety zones, 4 different kinds of surface and a stunning top speed of up to 270 km/h on the start/finish straight. Team Lamborghini München´s driver Jens Klingmann won all three races in a row although he has never driven the Gallardo GTR Racecar before. Achim Winter and Maximilian Goetz finished third in Race 3. Make sure you also watch the other 4 parts!
