Bilster Berg
Bilster Berg is a privately-owned road course designed by German track architect Hermann Tilke as a part of a country club where shareholders store and drive their high-performance sports cars and motorcycles in an exclusive and luxurious facility in the middle of the Teutoburg Forest, Germany. The club operates in the spa town of Bad Driburg, an hour and a half drive east from Dortmund, North Rhine-Westphalia, surrounded by a romantic woodland and natural reserves for endangered species. The climate at Bilster Berg is temperate and humid year-round, with temperatures ranging between 0 to 18 degrees Celsius and frequent light precipitations, so the track surface tends to be wet every day.
There are 19 turns in Bilster Berg, with exciting elevation changes on the whole trajectory that account for more than 200 feet in total. Driving the 2.65-miles (4.2-km) Full Circuit at high speeds feels like riding on a rollercoaster as you go up and down 44 times on the track's steep hills. Some downhill turns are very tight, making the drivers feel the gravity pull them to the sides, while other track segments are faster to drive. There is always a blind corner coming next, and witnessing the impeccable landscape around the track is a one-in-a-lifetime occasion for experienced and novice racers alike.
