This week we start off on Tuesday with a trip to Leipziger Stadtparkrennen a track that will require great skill and paitence in navigating your way through the street of Leipzig, Let take a trip round the circuit You start on a wide highway and drive to the section "Kurve der Jugend". After a left turn you see on the left side the city park and on the right side the downtown from Leipzig. On the end of this straight you've the section "Erich-Zeigner-Kurve", you see on the right side the memorial of "Clara Zetkin". Now you are on the "Anton-Bruckner-Allee", a long straight interrupt from two islands with a pond and a flower-beds. On this long straight you drive the first time across the river "Elster-Flutbett". After the second island you've the section "Werner-Seelenbinder-Kurve". A left turn on a small park road "Nonnenweg" through the "Clara-Zetkin-Park". On this straight in front of the section "Kurve der Freiheit" you get the top speed of the circuit.
