BERLIN, Germany - Racing for certain classes has been suspended at the Nurburgring Nordschleife circuit since the death of a spectator during an endurance event.
The spectator was killed and several others were injured when they were struck by a car racing in the first event of the VLN Endurance championship on the notorious Nordschleife circuit on Saturday (March 29 2015).
The Nissan GTR was being driven by Jann Mardenborough, 23, who escaped unhurt. The car lifted off the track, flew over the security barrier and landed upside down in an area reserved for spectators.
