Testdrive at Upnorth City Circuit Hamburg
Length: 2:57
Description: Wot? Another F1 Race Track for ze Germans?
To end the rivalry between Germany´s Hockenheim circuit and the 'Ring (Nürburg-Ring, in case you're not so into motorsports) we introduce our well matured idea of a Hamburg Grand Prix city circuit, a kind of up-north Monte Carlo.
The footage was taken years ago, when F1 was hot, but it got lost in the depths of our electronic vaults. Till now.
The car we used for this test drive was a classic Mini, with the front-section of a 1:18 F1- Ferrari plastic model wired to the lens of a 1 chip SONY PC7-Handycam that had been suction cupped to the shaking engine cover of the Mini.

or take a Hamburg map: Start is at Heiligengeistfeld, the inner city fairgrounds of Hamburg, with plenty of space. Then it's straight down the Helgoländer Allee to the Landungsbrücken, right turn on the Hafenstrasse, fast up the Davidstrasse, hairpin right into the Bernhard Nocht Strasse, full throttle straight into the Seewartenstrasse, slow left into Neumayerstrasse round the Zeughausmarkt, U-turn on Ludwig Erhard Strasse, from Millerntorstrasse sharp right and flat out on the Glacischaussee, round the Church, into the Karolinenstrasse, and, with a right-left-combo back on to the Heiligengeistfeld for the chequered flag.
