🏁 193 countries. 23 laps. The Green Hell. Only one winner. Round 8 of RC1 Season 0 – Classic Track Season takes on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife! 20.8 km of the most feared track in the world, built at 1:300: a 69.1 m miniature traced from OpenStreetMap, with the start on the Döttinger Höhe straight. Obstacles: angled walls, tilted platforms, a pin field, boosters, puddles and the rising barriers that nobody gets past. 🥇 THE GRID: MOST OLYMPIC GOLD ON POLE All-time Olympic medals, Summer and Winter Games combined (1896–2026): the most golds start up front, silvers and then bronzes break ties. The United States (1,232 golds) start on pole, ahead of Russia and Germany. Medals of former teams count for their successors – Soviet Union, Unified Team and ROC for Russia, East and West Germany for Germany, Czechoslovakia for Czechia, Yugoslavia for Serbia. The 57 countries still waiting for their first Olympic medal line up by Olympic appearances – South Sudan at the back.
