Well... it is a common mistake - I think. Lots of people confuse
Nürnberg with
Nürburgring. Germany even has multiple cities with the SAME spelling but in different Bundes States of the country!
Just remember:
Nürnberg is just North of Munich (in Southern part of DE) and
Nürburgring is in Western Germany(DE) near the Luxembourg border. The two are about four+ hours apart!
