The Sachsenring is one of MotoGP’s most technical and demanding circuits, featuring a tight layout, dramatic elevation changes, and a unique counter-clockwise design. Located near Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany, its origins date back to 1927, when races were held on a long public road course. Due to safety concerns, a purpose-built track was introduced in the mid 1990s, significantly shortening the circuit while preserving its challenging nature.

Measuring 3.671 km with 14 turns – 10 left and 4 right – the Sachsenring is known for its flowing corners and short straights, with the longest straight stretching just 780 meters. One of its most famous sections is the Waterfall (Turn 11), a high-speed downhill right-hander that tests a rider’s skill and bravery. The track has been a staple of the MotoGP calendar since 1998, with Marc Márquez establishing dominance by winning every race there from 2010 to 2021.

With a passionate crowd and a reputation for close racing, Sachsenring remains a highlight of the MotoGP season, offering a unique challenge unlike any other circuit.
