European Grand Prix

The European Grand Prix was created as an honorific title by the AIACR, predecessor of the FIA. The title was first given to the Italian Grand Prix. The 1977 British Grand Prix was the last race to receive the honorific title. Since its modern incarnation in 1990s the race was held at Nürburgring in Germany.
