 Compared to the current version, the original Nürburgring track was longer and split into three configurations.The entire track, the Gesamtstrecke (see map above) was 28.3 kilometres in length, composed of the Nordschleife (22.8 km), the Südschleife (7.7 km), and the Betonschleife – the latter a short 2 kilometer warm-up loop around the pit area.The lengths of the two segments, when considered separately, add up to more than the whole, since each circuit effectively shared the Betonschleife.
