GERMAN FORMULA 1 GRAND PRIX

Introduction

Hockenheimring is located near the small town of Hockenheim in south-west Germany.

Airport

Frankfurt airport is the nearest major airport hosting both domestic and international flights. It lies about 90km from the circuit and its surrounding towns. You can travel by train from the airport or take the fast A5 road by car, both of which take about an hour. Other airports include Luxembourg and Cologne which are further away but still viable options.

Channel Crossing

If you're travelling between the UK and Europe then Sea France run regular channel crossings.

Accommodation

There are various accommodation options scattered around Hockenheim but the larger towns of Heidelberg and Ludwigshafen offer the greatest choice of facilities. These are located around 20km from the circuit. Alternatively there are plenty of campsites around the circuit, and many of them have a shuttle bus service running to the Hockenheim on Grand Prix weekend.

Getting to the Circuit

The Hockenheim circuit lies in rural surroundings so planning travel is important:

• Train - you can take a train to Hockenheim or Heidelberg and then arrange a transfer to the circuit.
• Bus - shuttle buses run between nearby towns and campsites directly to the circuit.
• Taxi - taxis go to and from the circuit. Try to arrange a pickup in advance to avoid a long wait at the end of the day.
• Car - there is good road access to the circuit and a parking is available.
