The World's Scariest Racetrack Is On Sale For $165 Million

Built around the medieval castle of Nurburg, in western Germany's Eifel Forest, the Nurburgring motorsports complex fell into bankruptcy last summer and is now on the market.

The facility includes a Grand Prix track and arena, a museum, and a defunct roller coaster.

But the real attraction is the North Loop, better known by its German name, the Nordschleife.

Built from 1925-1927 as a project to alleviate unemployment, it is still one of the longest and most challenging racetracks on the planet.

Blind hills, narrow straights, and trees on either side earned it the nickname, the "Green Hell."

The estimate of driver deaths on the track varies, according to Car and Driver, from 2 to 12 per year.

And now it can be yours, for just $165 million, according to Autoblog.

Here's a view of the complex from the air.

And a panoramic shot of the complex entrance.

The Formula One-themed 'ring°racer' roller coaster has not opened yet, after a history of delays and accidents.
