Hockenheimring – F1 Track Layout, Records & Winners

The Hockenheimring in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, opened in 1932 and hosted the German Grand Prix from 1970 to 2019 on an alternating basis. The original high-speed forest layout was extensively shortened by Hermann Tilke in 2002 into the current 4.574 km configuration with a tighter Motodrom stadium section. Famous for the Jim Clark Memorial (where Clark died in 1968) and producing dramatic races in the 2000s and 2010s.

Key corners
01 Spitzkehre (Hairpin)
The tight, low-speed hairpin at the end of the long Parabolika straight. The primary overtaking opportunity on the modern layout and one of the heaviest braking events of the season during its F1 years.
02 Sachs Kurve
A medium-speed double-apex left at the back of the circuit. Carrying speed through the second apex defines the run through the Stadium section.
03 Motodrom (Stadium)
The tight stadium section at the end of the lap, surrounded by grandstands. Slow, technical, and demanding — a complete contrast to the high-speed forest sections of the original layout.
