They say the Germans don't do anything 2nd rate. Judging by what we see, they don't. As you read, I strongly urge you to click on the images to see a larger view. The larger view gives you a much better idea just how grandiose this facility is. These photos were taken between January and March, 2000.
Construction is even further along now.
Note how steep the grandstands are so all spectators can see the action, even directly in front of them. The race-track is due to have its Grand Opening on the third weekend in August, with a gigantic show and racing cars of all sorts. Right now, some 800 workers are hard at work each day trying to make the opening date - a mammoth undertaking, because the giant building site looks like total confusion made up of mud, concrete, sand, asphalt and glass. Main Grandstand and Paddock area. Note the lower grandstand which runs the full length of the main straight and most of the Speedway, it has an overall capacity of 60,000.
