No motorcycle has spun on the route near Paderborn in North Rhine-Westphalia, which is why there is no relevant experience. But that much is already clear today: thanks to its topographical location with large differences in altitude, the slope promises a lot of variety. Some even draw the comparison with the legendary Nordschleife. The company BD Racing was involved in the planning; in addition to other providers, it will hold motorcycle training courses on the course in the future. If you have any questions, it is best to contact them directly: www.bdracing.de. On the other hand, very small slopes are less interesting for super athletes, which often have a better practice area character, which is why we have not taken them into account.

On the subject of the noise limit: in principle there is this on every route, often it is 98 dB. Since the information is about driving noise, a measurement while stationary does not provide any conclusive certainty. Depending on the route operator or organizer, the driving noise is controlled very restrictively or not at all. At the Sachsenring, for example, some of the exhaust systems that are absolutely standard fail, while the brutal noise at the Lausitzring does not seem to interest anyone. Tip: If possible, always take a standard pot and / or sufficient exhaust insulation with you, equip accessory systems with a dB killer. You can play it safe if you follow the organizer’s announcement exactly. Otherwise it can happen that you are not allowed to play – and nobody really needs that!
