European Grand Prix Tickets.
Built amid the remains of the old Ring in the wooded Eifel Mountains south of Cologne, the old track was regarded as the most challenging, even dangerous track in the world until it was taken off the calendar in 1976 following Austrian Niki Lauda's near-fatal crash. The new, shorter track opened again in 1982 and Formula One returned for the 1984 and 1985 seasons.
The modern circuit has a mix of high and low-speed corners with limited overtaking possibilities, putting a premium on qualifying and fast pit stops. In 2002 the Mercedes Arena was added and it extended the circuit by almost half a kilometre.
