Best Western Am Hockenheimring, Hockenheim

Advantages: I'm excited what the new track will look like
Disadvantages: I do not like the old one

..., that the Hockenheim track will not be the same. They will build half a new track. The Motodrome will be the same, but the rest will get much more technicaly. And they will not only rebuild one or two new curves, no all the highspeed areas are cancelled. The constructer is the same man who build the track in Sepang. And I think that is a very nice track. So lets wait and see how the Hockenheimring will look next year.... Read review

Hockenheim a couple of weeks ago had the best Grand Prix seen for many years - with the circuit being many miles out into the forest meant that the weather was mixed with dry parts and wet parts causing all sorts of tyre selection problems for the teams. The grandstand area has a unique part of todays formula 1 - a place to overtake! - something lacking on a lot of todays thin winding circuits. On hot days Hockenheim is a real engine blower with huge long flat out straights. Definately how grand prix circuits should be.... Read review
