Layout: Fictitious (designed by me) – © 2021 AllAlongTheRacetrack
When was the track built?
This wonderful venue, a complex rarely built in Europe, with a tri-oval speedway, and a second circuit, intended as a test facility but with possibility to connect them and create various longer courses, was inaugurated in 2000, after a decade of proposal, delays and protests.
It has hosted almost any type of major motorsport event, except Formula One.
Thanks to the new organization, it will finally host also a Grand Prix and will offer three different layouts, two of them never seen, designed by me.
When was its first Grand Prix?
It will be the first ever F1 race on this racetrack.
It will rotate with other six circuits for the German spot in the F1 European Series calendar.
What’s the circuit like?
The third variant, also designed by me, combines the GP layout inside the tri-oval and a new course outside as well.
The 8.6km long extravaganza features the same first sector as the second version, followed by an even faster central section, with a 1.1km long straight and plenty of overtaking all around; chicanes will guarantee wheel-to-wheel battles and counterattacks.
Going back in the tri-oval for the final sector, slightly shortened thanks to the new hairpin, drivers will have to face longer-radius and slower corners again.
On this variant, car set-ups will be extreme.
Where is it located? In Klettwitz, in Eastern Germany. The closest airport is Dresden, around 30km away, while the two Berlin ones are over an hour drive away. (+ 51°32’04”, + 13°55’34)
