Construction work at the Nurburgring is underway, with construction workers toiling away to complete the renewal of asphalt on certain parts of the track.
The Nurburgring operator is spending €3 million (roughly $3.2 million) to repave the Fuchsrohre, a section considered one of the track’s most dangerous and challenging parts. The extensive renovations will see nearly one kilometer (0.6 miles) receive a completely new asphalt surface and underlying layers.
A fresh stretch of asphalt has many benefits, including improved safety. New tarmac has excellent skid resistance, particularly in bad weather conditions. Water drainage should also be better than before, while road noise should also be reduced, much to the relief of nearby residents.
The famous Nurburgring isn’t just a race track; it functions as a toll road, too. People can pay a fee and hop on the technical circuit during certain times.
