It's not too often that we get the occasion to call the Nurburgring names outside the range of those we've already gotten used to. So, since we don't want to miss such an occasion, we're bringing you a piece of footage that makes the infamous German track go from Green Hell to Green Heaven.
At least this is the conclusion we get after seeing a Porsche 911 GT3 RS convoy lapping the circuit. It's all shown in the piece of footage at the bottom of the track, which was recorded earlier this year when a Zuffenhausen machine event was held at the Ring.
