Hockenheim used to be one of the longer F1 world championship circuits, but has subsequently been revised.
Hockenheim was originally built for testing Mercedes cars.
The circuit has hosted the German Grand Prix since 1986, although in 2007 it was ordered to share the race with Nurburgring as Bernie Ecclestone ruled that no country may host more than one grand prix. The two circuits will now share the race.
