Round the world in eleven bends: The Porsche circuit in Leipzig

A round-the-world trip from Brazil to North America and Japan and back to Germany: #porsche #leipzig offers a unique, FIA-certified paradise for cornering fans, where customers can also put their driving skills to the test.

The course was designed by Hermann Tilke who was an active #racing driver for several decades and a leading circuit engineer, building 75 routes around the world to date with his design office – including several Formula One courses, such as the tracks in Bahrain, Shanghai and Sochi. In collaboration with #porsche, Tilke has now combined eleven of the most demanding sections of track from seven countries into a single circuit in #leipzig. Here’s an insight into each bend from the expert himself:

Sunset Bend 

The first curve after the long straight is a bend straight from the USA: The original “Sunset Bend” can be found at the Sebring race track. It’s a fast right bend with high g-forces: “You have to hit the start of the bend at exactly the right point and then really hold down the accelerator so that you can move through the bend rapidly along the optimum line”, explains Tilke. Moving out of the bend at around 170 km/h, you reach the longest straight on the track.
