Has the Nurburgring track been changed?

[vexor]

Maybe I'm just going blind here, but where is the first U-turn in the F1 nurburgring circuit? Did they change the circuit?

The satellite pics are from Google Earth and they're from 2006.

The part of the track you're talking about is called the Mercedes Arena and was constructed around 2003.

Therefore the Google pictures show the track as it was before 2003. The date applies to the copyright, not the date the pciture was taken.
