Torrential rain for much of the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in 2007 turned the race into a rollercoaster ride from start to finish. With the pace car out and most drivers electing to pit, Winkelhock found himself leading the race on his first outing for Spyker! A red flag and a restart and still the rain poured. It was full of incident and great to watch – if hard to keep up.
This year Hockenheim will host the German round of the championship. A circuit well-loved by spectators with an excellent stadium complex with big grandstands high over the track for superb views. It is fast too, like Monza, and very demanding on the drivers.
 Our holidays are based in Bad Durkheim. Less than an hour away from the circuit and in the heart of the Rhineland this quaint town is filled with tree-lined avenues, fountains and squares busy with pavement restaurants serving hearty German fare and fruity local wines. It is an ideal spot for a race weekend in this picturesque area of northern Germany.
