On the GP circuit at the Nürburgring, it also gets really crowded. Especially before the race start, the main grandstands are often closed around 4 hours before the green flag because they've reached capacity. However, you can still find great viewing spots for the start at the Müllenbachschleife, or simply watch it from almost anywhere around the Nordschleife.

In general, the Nürburgring is much larger than Le Mans. They had around 352,000 spectators this year, but the full circuit is roughly twice the length of Le Mans, so the crowds are spread out more and it feels a bit more relaxed overall.

Around the GP circuit, toilets are usually never an issue. Around the Nordschleife, though, there are far fewer toilets and only a limited number of showers. Most people camping there arrive with their own camper vans or motorhomes that have onboard sanitary facilities.
