When you want attention!

Jackie Stewart called the Nürburgring "The Green Hell."

Germany's Nürburgring opened on June 18th, 1927, a 20,8 km twisty devil of a race track. It had 172 corners then, too many for a driver to remember the exact racing line through all of them. Meaning, of course, that the best racing driver could pull off amazing feats of showmanship--if he was brave enough.

Nowadays VLN has a leading role on Nürburgring with 10 races every season, and the famous 24H Race in May each Year.

Founded in 1995, Team Schirmer has proved competitive from the start winning and setting lap records from the outset. With professional drivers piloting the BMW, they are a force to be reckoned with in their class in VLN.
