#AvusCircuit

The AVUS (Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungsstraße) in Berlin was one of the world’s most distinctive and historically significant motor-racing venues. Opened in 1921 as both a public road and a test and competition track, it consisted essentially of two long parallel straights connected by turning loops and was for many years one of the fastest circuits in Europe. Its best-known feature was the steeply banked North Curve, introduced in the 1930s and used until 1967. AVUS hosted major events including the AVUS-Rennen and the Grosser Preis von Berlin and attracted leading manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, Auto Union, Porsche, Ferrari and Maserati, as well as many of the period’s foremost drivers. The circuit continued to host touring-car and GT racing in later decades, although in progressively shortened configurations, before competition ended in 1998. AVUS remains one of the iconic venues of German motorsport history.

We'll tell the story of this circuit on the occasion of its anniversary or when it will reach a sufficient number of cars.
