While considering setting up a lap record, every automaker has only one major location in their mind i.e. Nürburgring Nordschleife. The Nürburgring Nordschleife is one of the most challenging racetracks in the world, which stretches 21 kilometers in length and features 70 corners with almost 1,000 feet of elevation change. Most automakers use this track to set-up a new lap record or just compare the performance statistics of their newly launched vehicle with the rivals.
