"What is the significance of Nurburgring?"

It's a very long and very tricky track. It has everything: superfast sections, slow sections, steep uphill and downhill, bumps, banking, often wet. If a car does well on this track it will do well almost everywhere. It's called the "green hell". I don't think there is another track worldwide left that can compare.

The Mountain Circuit on Isle of Man.

This is easily some of the craziest racing you're every going to see. There's zero margin for error and it generally highlights this every year.

Equally legendary, often deadly, and also absolutely wouldn't even be considered if someone proposed it today.

And the Nürburgring has various safety features. The Mountain Circuit has basically nothing, just a road.

And accessible only for a few days a year.
