Start and finish

Coca Cola corner

This is the 'bottleneck' of the Sachsenring: a very tight downhill corner to the right. As it is the first corner after the start there are always some spectacular scenes to watch!

Approach to Omega corner

The approach to the best-known Sachsenring corner is very difficult. Although the turn banks 3 per cent to the inside, you seem to lean to the outside.

Omega corner

This turn is THE SACHSENRING CLASSIC - and even experts cannot agree on where the ideal Line is. As the track can be covered with water, too, it is also ideal for drift and rally trainings.

Little crest corner

In this left-hand uphill corner it is important to find a clear line without sliding too much. Since a series of left-hand corners follows, it is important not to overload the right front tyre.

Kart hall-bend

A very long left-hand corner, which goes slightly downhill. For the races the largest mobile stands anre erected here, offering the best view of the action.

Audi-bridge corner

This corner is special because it's getting wider toward the exit, giving the driver the feeling that it should be possible to drive much faster through it. In addition, several bumps at the turn-in point make it more difficult to drive the limit.

Omega corner exit

This passage is rather tricky, both for cars and motorcycles. Accelerating out of the turn is not easy either because the rear wheels tend to become 'loose', slipping on the slightly cambered inner side of the track. This passage can also be xovered with water to simulate rainy weather conditions.

Approach to the northern extension

In 2001 this corner was voted to be 'Corner of the Year' by the Formula 3 drivers. It is an extremely fast corner, nevertheless the drivers turn into it nearly blindly.

Paddock 1 corner

This is the fastest corner of the Sachsenring. It's a corner that tests the drivers courage because it goes downhill with a gradient of up to 13 per cent.

Approach to the Sachsen-bend

Driving along this part of the circuit gives you the impression of going down the slope of a ski jump. With a 13 per cent gradient the Sachsenring holds the record among the rading circuits!

Exit Sachsen corner / approach to Queckenberg corner

The wide gravel beds of the Sachsenring - like the one at the Sachsen corner - correspond to international safety standards.

Queckenberg corner / entrance pit lane

This is one of the key places on the Sachsenring: a very steep uphill corner which leads onto the Start and Finisch straight. One tiny error in the corner and the driver will lose a lot of time on the following straight.

Broken-rock handling track

The 500-metre-long broken-rock circiut is exclusively used for Uwe Nittel's rally training. The impressive skill of driving sideways in four-wheel-driven rally Mitsubishis is THE HIGHLIGHT for the participants in the Step 2 course of drift&drive, the rally school operated by Uwe Nittel.
