> Hello,

> I am living close to Stuttgart and I drove that road several times (not
> under race conditions, of course). It is a real narrow 2-lane highway
(maybe
> 8 to 11 meters wide) and today it is used as a normal highway to connect
> Stuttgart and a little village called Leonberg. When I'm driving that
> highway with my father, I have always to listen his old stories when he
was

> that track is done well, it will be one of the most challenging tracks for
> GPL and it will be a real nightmare to overtake, because it is a REAL
narrow
> track. I can't wait to check out the track under race conditions.
