Circuit · Nurburg, Germany

Nurburgring Nordschleife

Stewart's 1968 win in fog and rain by four minutes, and Fangio's 1957 charge, are among the sport's defining drives. Dropped after Lauda's near-fatal crash in 1976 — the circuit was impossible to marshal or make safe.

A dot is a race won from that slot; over eight, the box shows the count. Boxes stand two abreast, as grids do now. Coloured by winner: the entrant’s national racing colour, not the team’s. A hollow dot has no colour on record.
