In just a few days, the Sachsenring will be transformed into the venue for a spectacular motorcycle festival. From 11th to 13th July, the iconic circuit near Chemnitz will host the Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany. We have clearly and precisely put together all the key information for fans ahead of the only German round of the MotoGP World Championship:
Directions and parking
MotoGP fans travelling to the Sachsenring from the south, east or north can reach the free car park P12 via the A72 motorway. There is a direct route to the car park via the Stollberg-Nord exit and the B180. Spectators coming from the west can use the Wüstenbrand exit on the A4 motorway. Car park P12 is roughly three kilometres from the racetrack. From here, free shuttle buses will run regularly from 05:00. Located close to the racetrack are special car park P11 and car park P10, which is suitable for camping. It is forbidden to stay overnight in car parks P11 and P12. Route information is available online at adac.de/motogp. The shuttle timetable can be found here: adac-motorsport.de/en/motogp-sachsenring/schedule/.
Camping
Camping is possible at Ankerberg (ankerberg-festival.de).
Event programme
From the Dekra Big Wheel and a charity race on the Wednesday, to the Red Bull Racing Circus, the Ankerberg Festival and events in the Kart Hall, the event programme at the Sachsenring is as varied and entertaining as ever. An overview of the entire event programme can be found at adac.de/motogp in the “Support Programme” section. Admission to the events is free for ticket holders.
Bicycle parking facilities
For the first time, there are also two free bicycle parking facilities: bicycles can be parked at car park P11 or at the ticket office on Goldbachstraße.
Lost property office
The lost property office is located at Wüstenbrander Straße 8, can be reached by phone on 03723/4411030, and is staffed at all times.
GP-Guide
The offering once again includes the popular GP Guide, which contains everything you need to know about the Liqui Moly Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany in compact form. It is available free of charge online (this way to the Guide) or costs € 5 at the racetrack.
Health
As well as more than 50 medics and emergency doctors, the race pharmacy is also on hand to look after spectators. Whether something to overcome a headache, or suncream – all fans are helped here. The race pharmacy is located on Gewerbegebietsstraße, behind grandstand T8, near paddock 3. Spectators should also come prepared for the forecast weather conditions (cap, suncream, sunglasses, etc.). It is also permitted to bring up to 1.5 litres of non-alcoholic drinks per person in PET bottles.

Sustainability and waste disposal
The Motorcycle Grand Prix of Germany is all about motorsport, festival feeling and a sense of responsibility. That means: protecting the environment, acting in a socially responsible manner, and celebrating mindfully together. For spectators, this means: assisting, using the waste bins provided, and helping keep the site clean.
