Even mentioning Jimmy Broadbent's tree haha. It's called the Rebel Tree because when Jimmy drove the track in Assetto Corsa he once used a mod for the game to give the Nordschleife a snowy landscape. But because the tree was specifically modelled to be there and wasn't shared with other tree textures in the game, the mod creator either didn't know how or didn't want to turn that tree white. So essentially the entire Nordschleife was covered in snow apart from that very tree. So it was therefore called the Rebel Tree.
Cool to know! I thought it's called Rebel Tree because it sits lonely very close to the track without any other trees nearby, but has never been taken down for extra runoff for whatever reason.
While you are endlessly energetic in bringing us all this wonderful Nürburgring-soaked content I am too lazy to even request a video from you explaining all the names of the corners. So even lazy people get what they want if they wait long enough! Good thing you have enough energy for the both of us, Misha.
I've been waiting for this video for quite a while so Thank You. As a non Germen speaker learning the corners on the playstation it was more about finding the rhythm of the track, then giving each section my own name to them which reflected the nature of that part of the track & what to expect, than getting confused trying to memorise the actual names. But since finding you on UA-cam I've slowly began to establish some of the sections real names. I now have them all, each with it's spelling as they do not always pronounce the way they are written, so some more learning homework to do. Afterall they say "Never stop learning the Nordschleife" & I will get back there 1 day after a 20 year wait since my 1st & only visit
What people forget about the fox hole is that that depending of your car you could be doing over 170 mph and when you come over the crest of the hill the difference in weight transfer along with braking makes it the perfect spot for a crash,stay safe everyone much love,fantastic driving accidents happen, it’s learning from them take makes the difference.
Hey, Misha, that rocket car might look pretty silly now, but it was a part of the great German rocket craze of the late 1920s. The craze didn’t produce much at the time but it inspired a lot of brilliant scientists and engineers to pursue rocketry more seriously in the following years. One of them was Wernher von Braun, whose work resulted in both great tragedy and, eventually, triumph (his life is fascinating).
Now THIS is the video I have been waiting for a long time! Complete names and historical reasons for corner names, brilliant! I teared up a little rembering Sabine & of course Michael is the only weltmeister I will ever recognize. Well done Misha!
The opening section, Maggotts, was named not for the wriggly larvae but for nearby Maggot Moor. Becketts and Chapel Curve, meanwhile, take their names from the medieval chapel of St Thomas à Beckett, which was built in memory of the murdered Archbishop of Canterbury and once stood near to the corners.
Those are sections of the Silverstone track not the Ring or am I missing something? I remember the names mentioned in the Top Gear 24 hr endurance race in the 3 series oh he mentioned it at the end haha
@@MarijanStupar Ages late but... I looked it up. Maggot is a local dialect word used for either a Magpie or a Sow (Female Pig). When someone did their PhD on local placenames they identified this as a possible origin for the name - a moor with either lots of Magpies or lots of Sows. Probably the former. On the other hand on an 1840 offical map it is labeled 'Maggot's Moor' -and seems to apply to a small group of buildings rather than a field. So maybe Mr Maggot (Maggot is a perfectly normal English name) lived there or owned it? TLDR: We don't know.
Kudos for mentioning Kottenborn! BTW, a "-hard" as in "Kallenhard" is old German for a wooden hill. Another example, when you exit Wehrseifen and head towards Breidscheid bridge, the hill you see coming in view is the Mühlenhard. And "Hohe Acht" mountain itself is a distance away from the ring, but its slopes actually extend to the area between Bergwerk and Hedwigshöhe. The "Kesselchen" is formed by the Hohe Acht to the left and the Mühlenhard to the right. You should make a Südschleife video for completion. ;-)
@@mgcharoudin You're welcome! Hope to meet you at Apex this year, as I have a GT2RS lap pending...would love to exchange a bit about the ring in person.
25:40 Gallows always feels significant even in polyphony gt rendition. Where the chilling feeling of leading a faster car with a big gap that is being eroded and fast through here might be enough to keep the gap viable until the finish line.
Galgenkopf in the American vernacular: Hangman's corner. I've died many times (sim racing) on that corner, trying to best my lap times. Wonderful presentation. This video will have some legs.
As always, an essential way to keep current on the Nürburgring. I only get there every few years when I pick up a car and it takes me a while to refamiliarize myself. Sad to see the reference to Sabine. She drove me in my 997.2RS there in 2010. You never know, might meet you in person with next car ( 992 GT3RS)! Great videos and lots of variety!.
I always thought Klostertal was the right over crest kink between Mutkurve and Steilstrecke. It's funny doing simracing with people who don't know the track too well. They ask things like "what corner number is that one left hander after the right that is kinda downhill?" or something that could describe like 8 corners on the track. The main ones I try to "teach" to newbies to help them clarify where they are at are Flugplatz, Adenauer Forst, Wehrseifen (or "the hairpin" for people with pronunciation difficulties), Karussell, Brunnchen 2 (or more commonly UA-cam Corner), the Bellof esses (or "squiggly bit with the kerbs" as many end up calling it), little Karussell, Dottinger Hohe (or "big straight") and Tiergarten. Usually if they can use those as references I can figure out where they are or which "right after the left hander" they are talking about... Funny though after typing that it doesn't at all seem like "just a few simple ones to learn."
I cannot believe how dull looking the Grand Prix circuit really looks and feels. That part of the complex do need trees and some vegetation, to give it character. Thanks, Misha, I’d really enjoyed the video. Top Man!!!
in Australia our premier race event (well for most petrol heads) the "bathurst 1000" held every year at Mount Panorama, near bathurst. NSW. the "main" straight is called Conrod straight (for mostly obvious reasons. lol.) and is approx 1.9 Km long and one section of the track is as steep as 1 in 6. similar to the Nürburgring it too is a public road, but only closed to the during racing events. i think you would really love a drive around the track if you ever get to Australia. obviously not as mad as the Nordschleife but drivers from around the world are inpressed by it's level of difficulty and the joy getting right brings. definitely if you get the chance take a look at some of the race footage and documentaries about the track.
Cool video! Misha, you are the most Nurburgring lover on UA-cam! Could you make a video telling how it all started? What was your first contact with the Nurburgring name? Things like that... Thanks in advance. ;)
Time will tell, why isn’t Hamiltons team mates approaching the world record? Can’t only be the car. Ferrari and Redbull floor situation is a factor not saying Mercedes should have realised or red bull and Ferrari did anything wrong but it goes to show there’s lots of factors but can’t just be a faster car situation otherwise Bottas should of done better in Mercedes’
this was so interesting! I think you should make a video talking about the worst accidents that have happened in the ring in its history. I have seen videos about the tourist sessions in the 60s (more or less) that are gold
The one and only day me and my brother were there, the GP was included. 4 laps in my bro’s bmw 135 sport, and it was a blast. Cloudy and cold day, it rained all the way from Frankfurt, and it was completely dry there, and no traffic.
Thanks for this video! Great to learn the names and some of the history :) As a side note, precursors to concrete are believed to be attributed to the Romans circa 300BC. Modern concrete using portland cement was the early 1800s :)
Interesting watching this with the cold weather.....my only visit to Nurburgring so far was for my friends 40th birthday on 7th April 2011 where we rode from the UK via ferry to Amsterdam & did 6 laps on motorbikes & very fortunately the weather was lovely & unseasonably hot for the time of year, from memory I'm sure it was a bank holiday weekend. Fond memories from that visit when we stayed at Sliders with Brendan & Andy....hoping to make a return sometime soon where we would love to stay at Apex & do some 4-wheeled laps this time. Loving the content Misha keep up the good work :)
Thank you for this video, this track is so special and has so much history, some of it we will never know,... Driving this is one of a kind it's scary and exciting at the same time and you learn a lot of yourself as a driver, it is kind of addictive because you want to push it to your limits. As a complete amateur I would love to drive this 20 times without any other cars to improve myself, unfortunately in touristfahren this is not possible. I did the Nordschleife and the GP strecke and it was an experience I will never forget, thank you Nürburgring and thank you Misha Charoudin for your videos, I can say I lived my life! Thank you Jesus Christ that I survived this and hopefully I will experience this a lot more, God bless everyone that does this track! Stay safe and know your limits! With kind regards Wim.
Really interesting stuff - love these slower laps when you explain things like this, on so many laps everything goes past in a blur (because full send :) ) Would be a bit of a challenge to do this full history narration in the GT2RS MR in sub 7 though.......
It's amazing how a race track tells many unrelated stories through corner names. It's fascinating to know the story of a particular section of a race track like a history lesson
Watching in 2024 as a newer racing fan, this is something I'm gonna watch next time I'm on the sim and cruise with you. I think it will help me learn it even better
I was wanted to try and remember all of the corner names, because while watching your videos you mention them, but over the years I've left it up to you to explain them as you drive. A video like this is perfect! I'm curious though, do you remember them all yourself? And which one is your favorite!
Misha should make a poster of the Nurburgring with all of the names (new and old) of the corners. Who better to make this happen then Mr Nurburgring himself!!! I will buy one!!!! Thanks for another awesome video!
hey..i really enjoyed the quiet and infomative lap...i knew most corners and sections...but learned a few new bits...and yes 2 cars passed you...that's more than on any other of your videos...haha....nice weather too.......April fool....
Brilliant. Very informative. Sorry I missed this when it was first released but it is also one of the reasons I subscribe to this channel. Now there is some debate about how you pronounce your last name...
This is a great video Misha!! So glad you did it. Your knowledge of the track and the area is fantastic. I’ve wanted to see a video like this for a while.
Very interesting info Misha! The Hocheichen corner always confused me, because the trees to the left of it are a different species (some kind of pine trees). I think there used to grow oaks in the past though.
It’s called James left because someone named James crashed there and blamed the passenger on his insurances and said that he’s at fault because he was to heavy and that’s why the car carried out
Jordan took me for a lap in his DC5, basically overcooked it on metzgesfeld which sent him on to the grass. He tried to blame it on a bmw cutting him up at first which never happened, then he decided it was my fault because I somehow upset the centre off gravity on the car, I’m not sure how he came to this conclusion he should have just admitted he made a mistake it would have been done and dusted. No it haunts him on the internet forever more… 😅
As an intellectual and owner of a very large brain, I have to say I won't be absorbing most of that information by watching this only once. Have to watch it a couple of times at least. The names in particular. I have struggled to learn them over time. Have learned a couple of them though but most of them are too damn hard. Thanks for making this video though 🙂
The roundabouts at Le Mans (Mulsanne straight) are not in use during race events and both of the chicanes are optional. Without these, the layout of the Mulsanne straight can still be about 5800mtr long, making it the longest straight on a circuit.
Because AMG Arena did not exist when they did N24 for the first time (including GP) and that track got certified by ADAC as N24 track/layout. Is the only reason I can think of.
A UA-camr called Jimmy Broadbent has a popular series where he drives various virtual cars around the Nordschleife in Assetto Corsa. There's a mod for Assetto Corsa that can make it winter, it makes the entire surrounding area of the track white except for that specific tree which Jimmy Broadbent and his community call "The Rebel Tree. The video is called "How Fast Can The Legendary Ferrari F40 Lap The Nordschleife?" It happens at about 4:30.
Cant wait to finally make the trip to the nurberghring after New year. Just need to get my car ready. For nice drive from Manchester uk. And do some upgrades to car ie suspension and brakes. And invest in some recording equipment to document my trip. So looking forward to it
seems you missed the ‚Herbert Müller‘ corner before Klostertal corner / Steilstrecke - but it is not official 😉 - he died at this corner 1981 during the 1000km race 🤞🏻
Luckily I was able to finish an entire bottle of wine while it was snowing here for a few hours, and drive back at full speed. Cheers to nature for its April fools joke.looking forward to doing a lap with misha and appreciate the history lesson :)
Love your content, I watch it every day! Just a question came to my mind: How can I find/can you tell when are the other combined track days? I didnt know that is possible on TF. Would try to schedule a visit on one of those days.
Perfect Racing channel! Slow (like my driving) but sincere thanks to you 👍 There were Public executions held at the Galgenkopf!? I obviously failed German in school
Even mentioning Jimmy Broadbent's tree haha.

@@TrolledBy That's what i always thought as well! Assumptions eh? Funny to finally know the actual story after watching JB for al those years haha.

Ah, a super cheat sheet video Misha, thanks! Hopefully I make it on track tomorrow (booked on the 218) and I Cannot Wait :D
Polestar should collect your GPS data to have the nordschliefe in their system!
And if they have the self-driving tech in their car as well, that would be interesting to see too...
don't give them any silly ideas....
Thanks, I loved it! It is my favourite track in Gran Turismo 7 (without the GP Track). Was nice to learn something extra about it! ❤
BEST video! Thank you so much for this. Very informative, and I even enjoyed seeing the track at a lower speed this time. 👍
Thank you so much for the education. I love learning more about this amazing track and place that it resides in.
Crossing my fingers for good weather next weekend! Hopefully catch you at apex
8:43 brutal. If Hamilton ends up beating Schumie's title record I'm gonna throw the biggest shitfit the world has ever seen.
Misha has a point though. I honestly always wanted to give HAM most of the credit, but the first 2 races of 2022 prove “it’s the car.”
Time will tell, why isn’t Hamiltons team mates approaching the world record? Can’t only be the car. Ferrari and Redbull floor situation is a factor not saying Mercedes should have realised or red bull and Ferrari did anything wrong but it goes to show there’s lots of factors but can’t just be a faster car situation otherwise Bottas should of done better in Mercedes’

Pretty cool that corners on the Nordschleife got their names because of nearby trees or villages or whatever was close, unlike the sponsored GP ones
Wow Great Video, learned a lot, even though I thought I knew the a little bit :-)
snow againg nice video Misha

Misha, why the GP layout changes in 24 hour races? like they cut out AM Arena and go from Yokohama-S to the straight.
Because AMG Arena did not exist when they did N24 for the first time (including GP) and that track got certified by ADAC as N24 track/layout. Is the only reason I can think of.

There's a mod for Assetto Corsa that can make it winter, it makes the entire surrounding area of the track white except for that specific tree which Jimmy Broadbent and his community call "The Rebel Tree. The video is called "How Fast Can The Legendary Ferrari F40 Lap The Nordschleife?" It happens at about 4:30.
Thanks to speak about Sabine Schmitz and for the rest of corners story
It's funny how the polestar map shows the GP track in full contrast but won't show the nordschleiffe toll road lmao
I followed along on Google maps. This was interesting!
Danke Misha!
History lessons and laps.. great way to learn 👌
Thanks! I always wondered.
Good idea to do a Video like that! - Great Video!
Cant wait to finally make the trip to the nurberghring after New year. Just need to get my car ready. For nice drive from Manchester uk. And do some upgrades to car ie suspension and brakes. And invest in some recording equipment to document my trip. So looking forward to it
The tree of Jimmy Broadbent, I guess that’s it’s official name
Very cool video 👍🏻
Thanks for that Misha, I always wondered what the corner of the was meant
seems you missed the ‚Herbert Müller‘ corner before Klostertal corner / Steilstrecke - but it is not official 😉 - he died at this corner 1981 during the 1000km race 🤞🏻
Luckily I was able to finish an entire bottle of wine while it was snowing here for a few hours, and drive back at full speed. Cheers to nature for its April fools joke.looking forward to doing a lap with misha and appreciate the history lesson :)
As a history graduate, hearing all of the stories behind all of the track was amazing! It still amazes me that it is 95 years old.
Jealous of you! History was/is my favourite subject!
@@mgcharoudin It's endlessly interesting. Do you have a certain time period/region of history you enjoy the most?
25:22 Looks like the Polestar knows who is driving.🤣
I guess Schwalbenschwanz is named atfer the "Schwalbenschwanz- Verbindung" (dovetail connection) for wood. Looks vaguely like it from above...
18000 virtual laps and I still have so very much to learn
Love your content, I watch it every day!
Just a question came to my mind:
How can I find/can you tell when are the other combined track days? I didnt know that is possible on TF.
Would try to schedule a visit on one of those days.
www.apex-nuerburg.com/events/ Check where it says Gesamtstrecke for TF
would love to see the same tour but talking about how fast different cars can go through
as a native english speaker the german names of corners makes me giggle a bit :D such a complex language but i love it
15:08 Tree of Jimmy Broadbendt. I know hin but why is it called like that?
Thanks, finally all the names in 1 go and some context. You never used this less battery I guess 😂
Perfect Racing channel! Slow (like my driving) but sincere thanks to you 👍
There were Public executions held at the Galgenkopf!?
I obviously failed German in school
Best UA-camr
