  • • The statistics

Located 25 km southwest of Heidelberg, the Hockenheimring was built in 1938, it was the fastest circuit in the championship with Monza until 2002. It had endless narrow straight lines through the forest. Chicanes will be added following the accidents of Jim Clark in 1968 and Patrick Depailler in 1980.
The long straight lines deteriorating over time, the circuit is redesigned. The new version is much shorter and allows cars to pass by the new stands more often and also allows for more overtaking.
