The Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg is a motor racing circuit situated in the Rhine valley near the town of Hockenheim in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, located on the Bertha Benz Memorial Route.
Getting to the track:
A shuttle service operates from the Hockenheim train station to the circuit, although there is still a fair walk across the car parks to the area around turn one.
The train operates not that often, so it may be better to come by car.
Seating:
Good views can be found from all the main grandstands, although to view the hairpin the only suitable stand is the Mercedes stand. You can walk down to the hairpin to view from the dirt bank.
Only the too few rows of the older stands around the final corners are covered should it rain.
Innentribüne C is the cheapest area, but quite good.
Food:
You may pay an extra euro for drinks than the advertised price, you get this euro back on returning your cup.
You can bring your own food. Make sure to bring enough water.
What to avoid:
Don't forget sunscreen, it may get very hot.
Misc:
If you head to turn 2 you can see the Jim Clark memorial outside of the circuit boundary, annoyingly they are reluctant to let you out and back in again for a closer look.
The toilets are very crowded, especially on Saturday and Sunday.
