About The Circuit

Hockenheimring

The Hockenheimring is one of the most iconic circuits in Germany. After the extensive redesign in 2002 by Hermann Tilke, the circuit was shortened from the famous 6.8 km forest layout to the current 4.5 km configuration. While the old circuit with its three long straights through the forest was legendary, the modern version offers a challenging mix of fast and slow sections. The Motodrom — the stadium section — creates a unique atmosphere with grandstands all around.

History

Originally laid out in 1932 as a triangular circuit through the forest, the Hockenheimring became famous for its long, fast straights. After Jim Clark's fatal accident in 1968, chicanes were added. In 2002 the circuit was drastically shortened and modernised. The circuit alternated with the Nürburgring in hosting the German Grand Prix.
