F1 Tickets for Hockenheim, Germany
Hockenheimring
One of the longer circuits on the Formula One calendar, the Hockenheimring poses the problem of finding a compromise between the low-downforce setting needed for the long, high-speed sections, and the twisty stadium section, where grip and good handling is required. On the back straights, engines run for long periods at full throttle and the 3 chicanes impose great demands on brakes too, but these are the only overtaking opportunities.
In wet weather, the circuit dries very slowly. Built in 1939 the original track was even longer, before it was shortened by the building of the nearby Autobahn in the early 60's, which allowed the owners to build the impressive stadium grandstands and short track section. It has been the home of the German F1 GP since 1977 when the Nurnburgring lost favour. Facilities and road access are easy and it hosts many different types of international races, including sports and saloon cars, bikes trucks, and Formula One, of course.
In late 1999, plans were announced to shorten the circuit again, by building a link between the Jim Clark and Ayrton Senna chicanes, cutting out the long drags to and from the East Kurve.
