Hockenheimring |
|
The Hockenheim circuit was built as a test track by Mercedes-Benz in 1939.
However the Nurburgring circuit was the main venue for German motor racing,
with only minor events taking place at Hockenheim. Hockenheim became famous
in 1968 when Scots motor-racing ace Jim Clark was killed in a tragic
accident on the circuit’s woodland stretch in a Formula 2 event. In 1970,
the Nurburgring was declared too dangerous and the Formula 1 races were
moved to Hockenheim. After a Nurburgring upgrade, Formula 1 events returned
to their original venue. In 1976, Austrian Niki Lauda’s horrific accident
finally ended Nurburgring’s Formula 1 history and Hockenheim became the new
home of the German Grand Prix. Since then, Michael Schumacher’s rise to fame
has really put Hockenheim on the motor-racing map. Official website: Hockenheimring |
