Remember guys that Hockenhiem was originally built as a track for Motorbike racing,hence the name Hockenhiem Motodrome.
This is a nasty circle for circuit owners these days as Hockenhiem's new track layout shows.Spectators,if it wasn't for spectators at the venue there would be no sizeable income from the ticket sales,no ticket sales no race,simple.Now the spectators get to see the cars in Germany 60 odd times instead of 40 odd and every 1 minute 15 seconds instead of 2 minutes.So as you can see for spectators it is a much improved venue to race.
Personally its been RUINED,unfortunatelly the old track has been lifted up already to be planted with new trees,so unlike some old circuits like the banking at Monza and say Roune in France the tarmac is still there,Hockenhiem's is gone never to be seen again.
If they touch SPA i'm doing a disgruntelled Mercedes employee when it happens!
I only hope that Jim Clarks memorial will still be accessable there in the woods where he died.
