    Here’s some exciting news: The World Touring Car Championship will race on the 25 kilometre long Nurburgring Nordschleife next year.

    The race will be held as part of the Nurburgring 24 Hours weekend and the current plan is for the WTCC’s normal programme of two 60 km races to be merged into one.

    To the best of my knowledge the last major touring car event on the Nordschleife was the DTM race in 1993:

    The last world championship event was the 1983 Nurburgring 1000km, part of the World Sportscar Championship. F1, of course, hasn’t raced there since 1976, the year of Niki Lauda’s famous accident.
