Sebbbl - correct me if I'm wrong.
Is this the section where the banking was, or was this the other end?
This is where the banking was...
I was too lazy to walk the 4-5 km the the Südkehre
(but I'll do that this year...)
Thank you very much for those pictures.
It brings those of us that are not too close
to that area a glimpse of racing history.
I know of old racetracks around here that townhouses are now built on
top of!

It was used built in ca.1959 and used until ca.1990
podium ceremony 1959
in 1990 Michael Schumacher won the F3 race and stood on this podium
afterwards the podium ceremony was somewhere else on a little metal-stand
