German Moto Gp

Most famous recently for holding the German MotoGP, racing has taken place in the area around Chemnitz since the 1920s. The modern circuit of Sachsenring, 8km west of the town, was built in 1996 and hosted its first MotoGP race in 1998. The track underwent a significant update in 2001. Its numerous tight corners make it a challenge with a spectacular plunging downhill right-hander nicknamed The Waterfall giving drivers plenty to focus on.
