Liqui Moly Grand Prix of Germany

City Guide: Hohenstein-Ernstthal

The Sachsenring in Saxony is the German Grand Prix's spiritual home — a compact, twisty circuit carved into the wooded hills above Hohenstein-Ernstthal that has delivered some of MotoGP's most dramatic races. With its extreme run of left-hand corners and the legendary Turn 1 hairpin, the Sachsenring is technically unique and historically where Marc Márquez won 11 consecutive times. The circuit sits in the heart of the former East Germany, surrounded by industrial Saxon towns with a rich motorcycling heritage. Leipzig, 60 km north, is the cultural and accommodation hub — one of Germany's most exciting cities with a world-class music scene, superb food, and a fascinating post-reunification story.
