I seriously doubt "hundreds of millions of people" regularly go for a lap in the Nordschleife.

Especially given the mechanical wear, motor racing (Even karting) is a rich man's game

You don't have to be rich to drive on a track. Champ Car (formerly Chump) is racing with very inexpensive vehicles. I did a track day with a sub US$5000 car that was still faster than many others. People take rental cars to track days for a total weekend cost of under $500. Drag racing costs next to nothing for a normal car.
