The Nürburgring Nordschleife is a track designed and built 80 years ago. A single lap is 24 kilometers long and has more than 170 turns.
The Nürburgring circuit covers many types of curves and changing road surfaces, which are excellent for vehicle acceleration and deceleration, cornering control, and stability.
This is a fair, open and just performance arena recognized by most people in the automotive industry, and the only indicator of this arena is lap time.
Generally speaking, when there is no competition being held, or when there is no vendor to book the venue, ordinary people can spend money to drive in and experience it, which is also called an open day for tourists.
The specific prices, based on the 2013 charging standards, are as follows:
1 lap: 26 euros (approximately 218 yuan)
4 laps: 97 euros (approximately 815 yuan)
9 laps: 202 euros (approximately 1,697 yuan)
25 laps: 499 euros (approximately 4193 yuan)
Biao Infinite Circle: 1,475 euros (approximately 12,395 yuan)
Even if you don’t have a car, there is a rich car rental industry in the surrounding area. From Swifts to internationally renowned sports cars, you can rent them at car rental agencies.
At the same time, some manufacturers are also hosted here to test vehicle performance. As long as you have money, you can book the venue.

Time flies very fast, Yao Xingfeng and others have arrived in New York City for half a month.
In this half month, they trained in New North for a total of ten days.
Yao Xingfeng and several drivers also became very familiar with the entire track through rented vehicles.
Especially Yao Xingfeng, even if it is a car with the same performance.
He can also be nearly a minute faster than the others!
This time may not seem like much, but you must know that the other people are also proficient drivers.
With vehicles of the same performance, it is very difficult to exceed such a long time.
This is a five-star driver, a strong contrast with ordinary three-star drivers, which is enough to prove Yao Xingfeng's top-notch talent.
It was another morning. This day, Yao Xingfeng and others got up early.
Today, the weather is exceptionally bright, with a temperature of 30 degrees and no clouds!
Today is also a New North Open Day. As long as you pay a certain fee, you can drive your car on the track.
Even vehicles that have not obtained road permission can appear in this venue.
Likewise, today, it is also the first time for a Kyushu Motors model to set foot on the New Nordschleife, an internationally renowned racing venue.
In the hotel parking lot, Suzaku and four other models, Dongting and Taishan, have all arrived in this town by air or ship in the past few days.
All the drivers from Kyushu Automobile Factory gathered in front of the hotel, and the coach was making his final speech.
"Everyone is already familiar with the venue. Next is our Kyushu Motors. It's time for our Chinese drivers to officially debut!"
"Everyone must go all out. Of course, safety is more important. On the premise of ensuring safety, try to run as fast as possible."
"On the opening day, there are many cars on the track. Pay attention to the timing of overtaking. I don't want to see a car from our Kyushu Automobile Factory being photographed on the wall today."
"We have installed cameras on the car to record everyone's lap results."
"Then, based on recent training results, Yao Xingfeng drives Suzaku, Wang Hao and Zou Qiyu drive Dongting, and Liu Yan and Zhou Yuxuan drive Taishan."
Yifan simply encouraged him, and assigned drivers to the five cars. A group of more than ten people took the vehicles and set off from the hotel towards the New North Circuit.
This time, a total of ten drivers came to participate in Kyushu Motors, making their international debut for the first time, that is, all the previously recruited drivers came.
However, there are only five drivers who can drive on the track.
One of them, Yao Xingfeng, has the most powerful talent and ability, and he also drives the strongest racing car Suzaku.
The remaining few people drove Dongting and Taishan to show their faces a little.
The most powerful car like Suzaku, paired with a strong driver, can definitely break the track record.
As a result, this manufacturer's vehicles have attracted attention from various countries around the world.
Dongting and Taishan, as the main models currently promoted by Jiuzhou Automobile Factory, have equally excellent performance and are equivalent to top-level supercars.
Naturally, he has to show his face. Although he cannot achieve the results of Suzaku, he should still be able to run into the top 100 laps.
A total of three models, each with good results on the New North Circuit, can make Kyushu Motors remembered by people around the world, thereby increasing the sales of Kyushu Dongting and Kyushu Taishan.
Starting from the hotel, five cars formed a small convoy, led by Suzaku, followed by two Dongting cars in the middle, and two Taishan finale cars behind them.
Although in New North, there are often various luxury cars, sports cars and the like are not uncommon.
However, these cars have their own characteristics and are still very eye-catching.
Along the way, it attracted the attention of many people.
Some people who like racing, cheer loudly!
"Both the shape and the painting are unique. What kind of car is this? Why have I never seen it before?"
"I've never seen this car logo before. I wonder what brand of car it is?"
"It's a nice-looking car, but it's a pity it's a small brand."
Many car brands come to New York for a lap when launching new cars. It is normal to see some cars that you have never seen before.
So they were just a little surprised. After the Kyushu car passed by, the rest of the people stopped paying too much attention.
Soon, the Kyushu Automobile team arrived at the track entrance.
The coach and others go to the venue official and pay the fee.
Yao Xingfeng and others were waiting on the roadside for release.
The vehicles stopped, and even among the crowd of vehicles, several cars from Kyushu were very eye-catching.
Let the racing enthusiasts who are also waiting to pay their fees stop and watch.
Especially among several models, the Suzaku, which looks like a ball of flame, has attracted the attention of several racing fans.
After two turns in front of the Suzaku, a young man who got off the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT in front of the Suzaku asked Yao Xingfeng in the car.
"Hey, young man, what kind of car is yours? Why haven't you seen it in car magazines?"
Next to it, several other car enthusiasts also chimed in: "I don't even know the brand, how strange it is!"
"The appearance is quite good-looking, and the aerodynamic layout is also very good, but this is probably a very unknown automobile factory."
"Where are you from?"
"Chinese, neon, or kimchi?"
However, the language they spoke was completely incomprehensible to Yao Xingfeng, a poor student!
He could only shake his head and respond: "Sorry, I don't understand what you are saying. Please speak Chinese!"
Seeing that the communication between the two parties was not smooth, several onlookers could not help but mumble.
"It seems there is a language barrier!"
"They seem to be from China? Are there any good car companies in China?"
A driver recalled carefully and then shook his head: "I've never heard of it. Does China have its own car?"
"I haven't heard of any car brands in China. That country is so backward, there won't be any good cars."
"It's boring. I originally thought it was a Neon car company. It also said it looks good. I want to ask which car company makes the car and the price. If it's cheaper, I can buy it for fun."
"Huaxia, you can't buy a car from an unknown manufacturer like this!"
“Garbage trucks only have a good-looking appearance, but no matter how good-looking they are, they need power but not power, and quality but not quality.
"I also feel that the performance of this brand, which I have never seen before, is definitely not strong."
"The automobile industry is not something that any country can easily surpass."
"This is not the place where cars from unknown small car companies should come!"
After chattering for a while, as their companions completed the entry procedures, several racing enthusiasts returned to their cars and drove into the track in a hurry.
Only the owner of the Mercedes-Benz AMG GT in front of Yao Xingfeng was still there.
After gently knocking on the car window to attract Yao Xingfeng's attention, the young man gestured with his hands and said loudly to Yao Xingfeng in the car.
"Hey, hey, boy, do you want to see who can run faster later?"
However, there was a look of contempt on his face, as if he was sure of victory!
For such a relatively good-looking vehicle, as an opponent to crush, it will give you a greater sense of accomplishment than running around blindly by yourself!
Although the vehicle driven by the other party is not a particularly powerful model, in the other party's opinion, it must be much better than a vehicle suspected of being from a Chinese car brand.
Even though he didn't understand the language, Yao Xingfeng could still see the look of contempt on the other person's face.
It is disdain for the vehicles produced by Jiuzhou Motors, and it is also a feeling of confidence in those world-renowned car brands.
"Are you trying to compete like this?!" Yao Xingfeng thought thoughtfully.
Immediately, a big smile appeared on his face, and Yao Xingfeng, a sunny and cheerful boy, nodded heavily! "You, a foreigner, have no idea what the heavens and the earth are like!"
There was a language barrier between the two parties, but when Yao Xingfeng nodded, the other party responded with a smile and happily returned to his car.
Immediately, the opponent's vehicle drove onto the track first.
At this time, the coach also completed all the fee payment procedures and got into the co-pilot of Yao Xingfeng's car: "Okay, let's set off!"
When he was fastening his seat belt, the coach looked at the smile on Yao Xingfeng's face and asked, "Why do you look so happy?"
"Well, there is an interesting foreigner who seems to want to compete with me in speed!"
"Don't worry, we can just run normally."
Put on your helmet, and after getting ready, the coach said: "Let's go!"
"Okay!" Yao Xingfeng replied, tapping his toe lightly on the accelerator, and the vehicle slowly entered the track.
The co-pilot instructor confirmed that the camera was in working condition.
Then the rush begins!
There aren't many rules, not even a three-two-one start.
Yao Xingfeng was already familiar with the Suzaku car.
Push the electronic gear knob gently and the gear will switch to forward D position.
He stepped deeply on the accelerator, and a huge thrust pressed Yao Xingfeng and the co-pilot's coach's bodies firmly onto the seats.
The powerful acceleration brought a positive G value of more than 1.8, which made the two of them feel slightly uncomfortable.
But this feeling was already very familiar to the two people before!
Starting from the starting point, there is a long straight line after entering the track.
The moment Yao Xingfeng stepped on the accelerator pedal, the Suzaku motor reached the maximum torque.
Amidst the sound of the motor running, the fiery red Suzaku spread its wings and took off at an almost incredible speed!
Just two hundred meters ahead, a Mercedes-Benz AMG was waiting at a slightly slower speed for the Chinese car coming in from behind.
The young man in the car watched Suzaku enter the track with a smile on his face, imagining that after the two cars ran parallel, he would slam the accelerator to throw the other car away and humiliate him.
However, this smile turned into an incredible shock a second later.
In the rearview mirror, Suzaku seemed to turn into a fiery red light and bloom. Almost in the blink of an eye, the vehicle in the rearview mirror was already beside them.
In the blink of an eye, the other party had already left the Mercedes-Benz he was driving far behind!
When the young man was stunned, the Suzaku had already flown away from the ground.
The co-pilot, a young man wearing a helmet, said to the young man driving the Mercedes in surprise.
"What's going on with that car up front?!"
"It was like a flash of fire, flying right over!"
"Is it the car behind us just now? It's all red."
"That car is still speeding up!"
"Speed up, let's speed up too, let's see what kind of car it is, it's so awesome!"
"This is too fast, right? It is estimated that the speed of the car has reached over 200, how many seconds has it been?!"
"With such acceleration, is this a top-notch sports car?"
The young man in the co-pilot was talking excitedly.
However, the young man who was driving the car seemed silent, or perhaps he was stimulated by such a result!
Even if you step on the accelerator, the distance between the two cars is still widening.
The Suzaku, like a fiery red, light big bird, quickly passed the Mercedes-Benz, and then quickly caught up with the other vehicles in front and passed them one by one!
After a moment of silence, even if the accelerator was depressed, the distance between the cars would only be further and further apart. The Mercedes-Benz owner finally said unwillingly.
"What car is it? Is it really a Chinese brand car?"
"What kind of car is it and why is it so fast?"
"Is this the speed that a normal vehicle can achieve? I seem to have seen an F1 racing car, but I have seen it before. It is just a normal vehicle, without hot melt tires, and even the rear seats of the interior have not been removed." The Mercedes-Benz owners at that time were no longer as arrogant as before, and some were just in disbelief.
"It's so strong. The acceleration of my modified Mercedes-Benz is already very good, but that car can do it in just a few seconds.
From appearing in the rearview mirror to directly overtaking my car, the distance between the two cars quickly increased and disappeared from sight! "
The owner of the Mercedes-Benz car felt very incredible about this, and even thought for a moment that he was dazzled and saw an illusion.
But just as he was thinking this, another car caught up with him from behind!
