There is little doubt that the nurburgring circuit He is one of the most charismatic on the international scene. Not only because of its longevity, but also because of its level of demand, which makes many manufacturers (and fans) use the time per lap that a car does as a similar reference to acceleration or maximum speed. And to continue being a reference now announces a update that has to do with digitization of the layout.
After almost 100 years of existence, it is facing one of the most interesting stages in its entire history. They are going to invest nothing less than €11 million so that track safety is increased and that there are important developments. The 20.8 kilometers that make up the entire route of the Nürburgring Nordschleife will receive a new infrastructure from 2025 that will use technology cameras and artificial intelligence to monitor all angles of the track. All users will benefit from this, both professionals and amateurs.
During the next two years, the infrastructure will be built to adapt to the current times. Foundations will be reinforced and storm-proof masts will be erected they will carry special HD cameras. Some areas of the circuit will have to be raised to install the new 50-kilometre fiber optic circuit and improve the electricity circuit. will also premiere new LED panels for signs digital warning. Anything to become one of the safest circuits in the world.
With the artificial intelligence it can detect hazards, accidents and other unscheduled events on the runway and help the operations control team to take immediate action. They have developed it jointly with Fujitsu and it is capable of detecting components such as the track, grass areas, gravel or protections. Also if it is raining, if there are shaded areas, dirt on the track and even if living beings enter. In the future be warned of these dangers through the LED panels and radio in a matter of seconds.
The new Nurburgring circuit will be ready from 2025, since construction is expected to last two years and be deployed in two phases. The truth is that there are many expectations around this reform in one of the most popular layouts in the world.
