oh yeah - here's a little something I used to do on the 'old' series -




Round 1 of the new 2008 TRD3 DTM Championship takes us to the German city of Klettwitz, which is near the Czech and Polish borders in the region the Germans call Lausitz.

The track was officially opened 2000. It was talked about as early as 1986, as a way to invest in the former East Germany and utilize the space left behind by some of the old open coal mines.

The circuit has many configurations, including a 2 mile American-style banked tri-oval, and a 11 km endurance circuit (which has yet to be used, except for testing).

It is here that Alex Zanardi suffered a terrible crash in an Indy Car race, losing both his legs.

He has since returned to competition and has won in the FIA World Touring Car Championship, driving for BMW.

This even is ran in horor of him.
