It was one of the great wonders of the world.

An historic racing circuit in western Germany where someone, anyone, could turn up with their own car or motorcycle and without even signing a waiver form or listening to a single safety lecture, drive "the Green Hell" as fast as they dared. 

We’re talking of course about the Nurburgring - perhaps the most famous circuit in the world best known for its Nordschleife (north loop) section containing 160 turns in 22.8km of tarmac.

But all good things must come to an end, as they say, and it appears the days of virtually unlimited freedom at the Nurburgring have done just that.

Nurburgring management has confirmed the introduction of speed limits in response to a spectator fatality at the circuit earlier this year when a Nissan GTR hurtled over a fence.
