The 1222 meter-long layout of Wackerdorf, one of the largest circuits in Germany owned by Stephan Fritsch, has recently been resurfaced which adds to the spectacle and challenge of such an intense venue. With eight right-handers and six lefts with a complex combination of fast sweeping apexes, tight hairpins and varied elevation changes over the lap, teams and drivers will be kept guessing throughout the weekend.
Add to that an uncompromising weather that can spring a few surprises over a weekend, a win here is more than just a trophy – it can teach drivers the lessons they need to become the world’s best racers.
The spectators are always guaranteed a great show at Wackersdorf, and with a fantastic on-site restaurant, the indoor karting circuit beside the racetrack and many varied vantage points to observe the action, the German round of the IAME Euro Series has become a firm fan favorite and in 2019 we are sure to witness some great action again.
