There is a way to start the lap without doing a full lap. It's a proper tarmac road so I don't consider it cheating.

Accidentally I found out during practice that in this version of the Nordschleife the "Betonschleife" could be used to shorten the warm-up lap and posted that twice in the chat.
Maybe the name "Betonschleife" was not known to most of you guys or my English was mistakable - sorry for that.
Here's a link for better understanding:

Thanks for the explanation Kurt. That does look like the right place for the road I used to return to the start finish straight. I wonder if it could be used as a racing circuit? I never knew about that short circuit so once again I'm learning new stuff

There have always been some races on the short circuit called "Betonschleife" or "Start- und Zielschleife" as long as it existed - best known is the "Supersprint".

And here you can find lots of wonderful historical pics from the Nuerburgring, mostly done with a Hasselblad (!) - if you're interested in:
