Track description by René Rast

“I have had a very special relationship with the Nürburgring for a long time. On no other race track have I driven more often than there. I won the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring and most recently my second DTM title. So I associate many impressive and beautiful moments and emotions with the so-called Green Hell. The Nürburgring’s sprint circuit, which we traditionally drive with the DTM, is technically very demanding. Most of the corners allow for medium-fast speeds. You have to drive very precisely and take the optimum momentum at the end of the corners. This is decisive and suits me.”
