This race is held in Hockenheim, Germany and is
the Tenth race in the F1 calender.
. The circuit is 6.2 km long and a total of 45
laps have to be completed to decide the winner.Located
some fifty miles south of Frankfurt, the circuit was
originally built as a test circuit for Mercedes
cars. The German Grand Prix has been staged here
since 1986 and it is, for the majority, an
open circuit that is very fast throughout. The
exception to this is the stadium complex near the
starting grid where the track twists back and
forth through 360 degrees in front of the
grandstands.
This makes it a very difficult circuit to set
up for. At over 6 km in length, it is one of the longest Grand Prix circuits,
and it is often more infamously remembered as the circuit that took the
life
of Jim Clarke
in April 1968. Weather is often very changeable as the circuit winds its
way through
dense pine forests which can create dangerous
patches of fog and mist.
