Resurfacing updates from the Nürburgring! 🏁 The iconic Nordschleife is getting a kilometer of new asphalt in the Fuchsröhre section this winter, while another part of the track undergoes a digital transformation. The notorious Fuchsröhre section, including the challenging compression leading into the Adenauer Forst, is receiving a complete overhaul, with the Nürburgring 1927 GmbH investing three million euros to ensure the track's unique characteristics remain intact. The Grand Prix circuit is also seeing improvements with asphalt work at the pit lane exit. Over the past ten years, about two-thirds of the Nordschleife has seen new asphalt, contributing to reduced lap times. The second phase of digital monitoring for the Nordschleife is underway, aiming to enhance the experience of tourist drives and races with a smoother operation. Scheduled to go live in 2025, the project includes the installation of 58 cameras and miles of fiber optic cables. The digital overhaul is set to conclude by the start of the 2024 season on March 16, following a year of AI training and trial runs in 2024. The Nürburgring 1927 GmbH emphasizes its ongoing commitment to the track's preservation, having invested approximately 29 million euros since 2015. What are your thoughts about the use of AI as part of the CCTV race control solution? #Nurburgring #Nordschleife #RacetrackUpgrades #DigitalTransformation #Resurfacing #AI Photo copyright: Nürburgring 1927 GmbH & Co.
