MotoGP – Preview Sachsenring – The track
The Sachsenring circuit became part of the world championship calendar in 1961 and has always attracted large crowds of spectators. At the beginning it was a very fast and equally dangerous road circuit, so much so that since 1972 it has no longer hosted a GP. Completely renovated, it returned to the calendar in 1998, as the slowest track ever at the time with an average lap speed of 143 km/h. With the changes introduced in 2000 and 2001 the average speed rose to the current 159 km/h. In any case, the track, which runs anti-clockwise, remains narrow and tortuous and requires good engine performance especially at medium speeds.
Official record: Dani Pedrosa (Honda – 2007), 1'23.082 – 159.066km/h
Best Pole: Dani Pedrosa (Honda – 2006), 1'21.815 – 161.530km/h km/h
Circuit length: km. 3,671
2008 MotoGP race: 30 laps (110,130 km)
MotoGP race time 2008: 14:00 CET
