The move to Germany brings the event to a more central geographic location in Europe helping to ensure greater accessibility for contestants from the four corners of Europe and even greater diversity among the competing teams and those attending the event.

EuroSpeedway Lausitz is a great racing circuit that meets the highest technical and infrastructure requirements of the Shell Eco-marathon Europe. Opened only in 2000, Lausitzring is a state-of-the-art complex that has already developed a reputation as a challenging circuit in the motor-racing world.

Its generously proportioned safety areas and wide track and chicanes make the course the ideal location for pushing vehicles to the limit of their fuel efficiency. Lausitzring has all the ingredients to keep the true spirit of the event alive:

• The race track and test oval cover some 367 hectares, nearly double the size of the Principality of Monaco!
• The inner race track is 4.534 km long
• There are 45 garages for technical inspections and 55 pits
• The circuit is conveniently located to several international airports with direct motorway access
• Excellent camping & sanitary facilities are provided on site

We will keep you posted on all developments related to the details of the 2009 Shell Eco-marathon Europe and the circuit in Germany, its topography and what the move means for you.

Our technical team is currently busy working on the configuration of the tracks, and we will update you on this as the information comes in.

Over the next two months video footage, maps and more information will be shared regularly with you through our website. In the meantime, don’t hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.

Application details will be provided on this website in the very near future, so be sure to check back here regularly over the coming months in order not to miss out on the 2009 Shell Eco-marathon
