Twelve track elements provide outstanding conditions for research, development and validation of single systems up to full vehicles. Classic elements such as an oval circuit, a vehicle dynamics area or a handling course are among them. The new and highly variable urban environment allows inner city situations while the Autobahn element is best suited for interurban traffic.
