    The former steep section between Klostertal and Karussell is reminiscent of the old days of the Nürburgring, when the track was wilder and more unforgiving – a piece of motorsport myth! 🏎️🔥
    Today, this part of the track is no longer passable in its original form, as the Nordschleife has been rebuilt and modernized several times over the years – primarily for safety reasons. 🔧🛑
    Showing Translation•
    The steep section, with gradients of up to 27%, was originally built for vehicle testing. Today, it is no longer used.
