My mission is to travel to the Nurburgring in germany
The Nürburgring, known as simply "The Ring" by enthusiasts, is a motorsport race track in Nürburg, Germany. It was built in the 1920s around the village and medieval castle of Nürburg in the Eifel, which is about 70 kilometres (43 mi) south of Cologne, and 120 kilometres (75 mi) northwest of Frankfurt. Nicknamed The Green Hell by Jackie Stewart, it is widely considered the toughest, most dangerous and most demanding purpose-built race track in the world.
Originally, the track featured four track configurations: the 28.265 kilometres (17.563 miles) long Gesamtstrecke ("Whole Course"), which in turn consisted of the 22.810 km (14.173 mi) Nordschleife ("Northern Loop"), and the 7.747 km (4.814 mi) Südschleife ("Southern Loop"). There also was a 2.281 km (1.417 mi) warm-up loop called Zielschleife ("Finish Loop") or better known as Betonschleife, around the pit area.[1] Between 1982 and 1983 the start-finish area was demolished to create a new GP-Strecke, and this is currently used for all major and international racing events. However, the Nordschleife is still in use.
The Nürburgring also plans to build a massive Air Thrust Coaster by S&S Power in 2009. It will be called Ring°Racer and will reach speeds of nearly 135 mph (217 km/h), making it the fastest roller coaster in the world, claiming the record from Kingda Ka.
This is a Look Twice GeoCoin
Look Twice GeoCoins were created to travel around and remind Drivers to be more aware of Bikes around them.
As a Driver, when you need to make any moves like turns, lane changes, or entering traffic, look once for those around you, and then look again before you act. This second look might be the chance for you to save a life.
We were all taught as children to look both ways before we cross the street in order to protect ourselves.
Motorcycle and Bicycle riders are dependent on those of us in cars to be alert and aware for their protection.
Please remember
Look Twice for Bikes...You Could Save a Life!
