    SCHOTTENRING 1967

    INFO
    The Schottenring was a motorsport race track situated near Schotten in the Vogelsbergkreis of Hesse, between Fulda and Gießen. After Nürburgring, Schleizer Dreieck, Solituderennen and AVUS, it was one of Germany's oldest race tracks, inaugurated on 22 July 1925.

    The track was popular for club events, and had attracted 90,000 spectators to its first post war event in 1947. In 1953, partially as the result of a compromise between Germany's two controlling bodies, the DMV and the ADAC, it was selected to host the German motorcycle Grand Prix. Even by the standards of the day, the track had never been regarded as particularly safe, and after an inspection made before practice had begun, the factory teams from AJS, Norton, Gilera and Moto Guzzi decided unanimously that the track was too narrow for "modern" 350s and 500s to race. It was bordered on many fast corners by trees and had a track surface so slippery at the most dangerous points that it would be disastrous to run a championship event there. With the unprecedented departure of the majority of major teams even before racing was due to begin, officials from the FIM decided that the only way to proceed at such short notice was to allow the event to continue, but that only the smaller 125cc and 250cc races would count towards the World Championship.

    Racing was discontinued after 1956, but rallies, classic bikes and hillclimbing events are still held on a shortened version

    Although only 4 of us were there, it was still a fun event.
    The first few laps were even exciting fighting with Csaba and Julien. The Schottenring is a great adventure to drive, so that alone was fun aswell.

    Grats to Gaetan for the win (too fast for us all) and thank you guys for showing!
    In 2 weeks time the last round ... Round 6 Fonteny 25.8 km.

    POSSIBLE NEXT AC SERIES?

    I found a great free to download GT3 car pack. Tested them and physics and sounds are great. High Quality mods.
    I think I will use them for a next AC series.

    Hard race again as the track was very fast and the cars are very touchy at high speed, congrats to the 3 others as we all finished, not very happy on my side as I did a few mistakes with loss of focus, see you at the last round on the hardest track.
