Nürburgring (578 words)
In 1929 the full 'Ring was used for the last time, and future Grands Prix would be held only on the Nordschleife (though minor races used just the Südschleife).
After World War II, racing recommenced in the 1950s and the Nordschleife of the Nürburgring again became the popular venue for the German Grand Prix as part of the Formula One World Championship (with the exception of 1959 when it was held on the AVUS in Berlin).
By the late 1960s it was apparent that the track was becoming increasingly dangerous for the latest generation of F1 cars, and in 1970 the German GP was temporarily moved to Hockenheim[?] while the Nordschleife was under reconstruction.
