  • Transport
Located in the south-west of the country roughly equidistant from Stuttgart and Frankfurt the Hockenheim race track is a short distance from the town of Hockenheim.

It’s central location in Europe and well developed transportation links means that it’s an easily accessible Grand Prix for fans arriving by air, train and bus. If you’re like most fans though you’ll load a car up with camping gear and drive there.

Getting to the German Grand Prix

While the nearest airport is Mannheim, about 20 minutes from the circuit, most visitors who fly in for the event will arrive at Frankfurt (FRA). From here, taking the train first to Mannheim then connecting to Hockenheim station is about a 90 minute journey; or hire a car and be there in just over an hour.

Driving to Hockenheim

The Hockenheimring is situated close to the A6 and A61 and is also accessible from the A5 as it joins the A6 at the Waldorf intersection. Use the information below to find your best route and exit.

from the north A6 route: Mannheim/Frankfurt
exit: AS 29 Schwetzingen / Hockenheim
 A61 route: Koblenz/Cologne
exit: AS 64
 A5 route: Heidelberg/Frankfurt
exit: AS 39 Walldorf
from the south A5 route: Karlsruhe/Basel

Train
