And no, it is not a speed limit.

Earlier this year there was a speed limit introduced on the ‘Ring. The outer maximum speed was 250 km/h on several places on the track. Later it became known that the restriction was lifted. Reason for the discussion was a fatal accident with a spectator during a VLN race last march.

With the lifting of the speed limit, there will be an other veiligheidsregel in the first place. The Deutsche Motor Sport Bund was known racers in the SP7, SP9/GT3, SP-Pro and SP-X class of 2016 have to do with 10% less power.

In a statement, says DMSB boss Hans-Joachim Stuck that race cars each year faster and faster. “The limit is now reached,” said Stuck. In addition to less power will make the cars a little higher on the legs.

Meanwhile, the more than 20 kilometre long runway will be closed until further notice. The next time there is maintenance and there will be at the height of Schwedenkreuz a space be created that is not accessible to the public.
