Nürburgring Nordschleife EV

Electric Vehicle Lap Times

Timing one lap of driving on the Nürburgring Nordschleife provides a good measure of car performance, including acceleration, top speed, cornering and general handling.

The race track Nürburgring is located in Deutschland about 80 km south of Köln. It consists of two separate race tracks:

• Grand Prix circuit, 5.148 km, used for international racing events
• Nordschleife, 20.832 km, mainly used for performance tests

The Nordschleife is located just north of the Grand Prix circuit. It is open for public access to drive one round after payment of ticket. These tourist drives (DE: Touristenfahrten) are a popular way for private people to test their own car on a racetrack. Many drivers are on the track at the same time. The length of the tourist drive is nearly a full lap of Nordschleife except for a section at entry and exit points. The time measured is known as a Bridge-To-Gantry (BTG) time = full lap - 1.7 km = 19.1 km.

For a proper full lap test a company will rent the whole Nordschleife racetrack to do solo test of the complete lap (20.8 km). Lap times are sometimes measured 200 m shorter (20.6 km) due to safety reason.
