About the circuit

The second Global Series Event of the season is here where the 11 fastest players will convene during August. Only one person can become the 2021 MotoGP™ eSport World Champion, and this is where it counts!

Car and bike races have been held on closed public roads in the area around the town of Chemnitz, Germany since the 1920s and were still taking place until as recently as 1990.

It was decided, however, that the five mile course through such a densely populated area was no longer suitable and a new circuit was built five miles west of Chemnitz in 1996. Although mainly used as a driver training centre and road transport safety station, Sachsenring first hosted MotoGP in 1998 and many improvements have taken place since then, including a drastic layout enhancement in 2001.

Numerous tight corners make it one of the slower tracks on the calendar but there is never any shortage of close racing action.

About the circuit

The second Global Series Event of the season is here where the 11 fastest players will convene during August’s. Are you ready? Only one person can become the 2021 MotoGP™ eSport World Champion, and this is where it counts!

Race two comes from the stunning Red Bull Ring, a circuit that was originally built in 1969, then known as the Österreichring. In 1996, it was rebuilt with the track-layout it still has today and in 2011 it was reopened as the Red Bull Ring and again became the centre of Austrian motorsports.

The sloping terrain and the natural arena are trademark features of the Red Bull Ring with the 18-metre-high landmark “Bull of Spielberg” in the centre and the voestalpine wing offering a spectacular architectural highlight. With a length of 4.318 km it features 10 turns and an altitude difference of 65 metres.

The 2016 season saw the Red Bull Ring host its first MotoGP™ race as the World Championship returned to Austria for the first time since 1997.
