Finding the Ideal Line

This programme has been designed, primarily, for drivers who are interested in motor sports and love driving. Among experts, the Sachsenring is known as one of the most selective and challenging racing circuits in Germany. It is not an artificial track that has been designed on a drawing board but a harmonic combination of up- and downhill parts, which uses the natural lay of the land.

Our instructors will be pleased to introduce you to the special secrets of the ideal line on the Sachsenring. Their longstanding practical experience in motor sports, combined with the demanding training necessary to become a driving technique instructor, guarantees that you will receive the optimum of care and as much special knowledge as possible. Intensive work but also an enormous lot of fun – that is what the Sachsenring race track training holds in store for you.
