"When you're in the car, the lights go out." This is how Sir Jackie Stewart describes the moment when he starts a race at the Nürburgring. And his idea is understandable, because nowhere in the world has driving been and is more dangerous than at the Nürburgring. The north loop there leads over mountains, through valleys and winds through dense forest at the foot of an old castle. There is something mystical about this place, it captivates many racing drivers. They describe the Nürburgring as the most impressive race track in the world.

This illustrated book tells of the now 90-year history of the "Green Hell" - and the stars of racing who have driven for their survival at the Nürburgring. Author Hartmut Lehbrink, who had been involved in numerous races at the Nürburgring since the early 1950s, sought out the survivors, interviewed them and captured their stories and emotions. He also portrayed those who no longer managed to pass on their stories. This creates a unique, very personal and at the same time collective picture of the Nürburgring that has never been seen before.
