Yesterday’s morning Touristenfahrten session at the Nürburgring’s Nordschleife circuit was halted by an unexpected graffiti that was drawn during the night.

The graffiti had the form of a six meters long white penis. The “artwork” was created near the Brünnchen corner on Saturday night.

The graffiti was painted using 20 litres of paint, said the police. The track was open at 11.30 am after a paint stripping machine removed the striking graffiti.
