Question

Which F1 circuit nearly claimed the life of Ferrari driver Niki Lauda in 1976?

Answer 1

Nurburgring at the 1976 German Grand Prix. Unbelievably, he returned to racing six weeks later at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza and finished 4th.

Answer 2

The Nürburgring, known as simply "the Ring" by enthusiasts, is the name of a famous motorsport race track in Nürburg, Germany, built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel, which is about 70 kilometres south of Cologne, 100 kilometres northwest of Mainz, and 120 kilometres northwest of Frankfurt. Originally, the track featured four track configurations: the 28.265 kilometres (17.563 miles) long Gesamtstrecke ("Whole Course"), which in turn consisted of the 22.810 km Nordschleife ("Northern Loop"), and the 7.747 km Südschleife ("Southern Loop"). There also was a 2.281 km warm-up loop called Zielschleife ("Finish Loop") or better known as Betonschleife, around the pit area  Between 1982 and 1983 the start-finish area was demolished to create a new GP-Strecke, and this is currently used for all major and international racing events. However, the Nordschleife is still in use; nicknamed The Green h**l by Jackie Stewart, it is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous and most demanding purpose-built race track in the world.

The Nürburgring also plans to build a massive Air Thrust Coaster by S&S Power in 2009. It will be called Racecoaster and will reach speeds of nearly 135 mph, making it the fastest roller coaster in the world, claiming the record from Kingda Ka.

Answer 4
