For fans of motor racing in Europe, there are a whole host of Grand Prix to choose from across the continent and one of them is the German Grand Prix, which has been part of the Formula One season since 1951 and continues to be a popular part of the F1 calendar.
Currently, the event takes place at Hockenheimring, with other possible locations including the Nürburgring, and each year thousand of motor racing fans make the trip to witness the event, making German Grand Prix tickets popular items each year when they go on sale.
Though the first German Grand Prix as part of the Formula One World Championship took place in 1951, the event had taken place in Germany prior to this date, with a sports car race taking place in Berlin in 1926 and throughout the year in the 1920s and 1930s, then disappearing until the 1950s. Since then it has appeared on both the Nürburgring and the Hockenheimring, with a single appearance at its former home of the AVUS – an unusual high speed track with huge straights that was replaced with EuroSpeedway Lausitz in Brandenburg from 2000 (though Formula One would not be held there again).
Over the last decade, spectators heading out to the German Grand Prix will have seen winners in the forms of Mark Webber, Lewis Hamilton, Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Rubens Barichello, with Schumacher the only driver to win on multiple occasions during the decade, whilst Nigel Mansell won twice in the 1990s. It demonstrates the variety of different races that are produced by the German Grand Prix, with different winners taking the trophy each year and proving that the race will always be fresh and exciting. It also means that there are plenty of great races to look forward to in the future.
So make sure you get hold of your German Grand Prix tickets as soon as possible. The result of attending this popular event is a great day out that is not only defined by great racing from the best drivers in the world, but also by an unbeatable atmosphere that is apparent on any track during the Formula One race day. It is an experience that motor racing fans will not forget.
