From: carbuzz.co.uk - Car choosing made easy!
Tired of being left out of conversations that go something like this "Well the Radical was tight through Bergwerk and Wehrseifen but it couldn't touch the Viper from Flugplatz to Aremberg or from Galgenkopf to Antoniusbuche!"? Well, hang your head in shame no more, Nurburgring rookie, Carbuzz has the infographic for you.
This map not only has stats on the track (12.8 miles, 73 corners, 3-12 fatalities per year) but has production car lap records, danger points and track costs.
I've assembled my desktop according to the danger points: Outlook is at Pflanzgarten, Chrome is at the start line and Word is hanging out at Kesselchen.

The top 4 cars on that list either aren't street legal in the US, or were not production cars when tested

3-12 public fatalities per year! Wow. If this were in the States, it would have been closed to the public years ago.

This would be much nicer if it was an overlay on an aerial photo. Right now it’s too plain to be a desktop image for anyone but the die-hard ringers, but even they have LOADS of stock photos from the ring that make great desktop images.
Also, the 3-12 deaths a year is inaccurate. Much like professional racing, the Ring only registers people who are dead on arrival to the scene, they don't include the people that die on the way to the hospital or don't recover from the hospital. Some have estimated that the real numbers are more than double what the police register.
