Hockenheimring

What is the Hockenheimring?

The Hockenheimring lies at Hockenheim in Baden-Württemberg and is one of the best known circuits in Germany. The current Grand Prix layout is 4.574 km long, has 17 corners and combines fast straights with the stadium-like Motodrom — a natural bowl where spectators look straight down onto the pit lane. Formula 1 raced here until 2019.

Character and layout

The Hockenheimring is a technical circuit with high-speed sections and heavy braking zones. The Parabolika and the Motodrom demand precision, while the straights reward a top-speed setup. The hairpin at the end of the first straight is a classic overtaking spot and the highlight of every lap — a good place to work on trail braking and late braking.

Hockenheim is one of the most frequently used track day circuits in Germany.
