The Bilster Berg Drive Resort is a private motorsports club for automotive enthusiasts and manufacturers with a Шаблон:Cvt long motor racing circuit in Шаблон:Ill, a district of the village of Bad Driburg in the Teutoburg Forest. The track is built on land formerly used by the British Army as an ammunition depot; it was designed by Hermann Tilke, with input from Walter Röhrl.

History

The site was used since the 1970s as an ammunition depot for the British Army of the Rhine.[1] When Great Britain withdrew its forces in 1993 following German reunification, the Шаблон:Cvt site reverted to its previous owner, Count Marcus Шаблон:Ill-Sierstorpff.[2] The Count, a motorsports enthusiast, thought the site would be suitable for a motorsports track; his earlier attempt to build a track there was stymied by the 2008 financial crisis. It was the first track built in West Germany in 80 years, and was designed by Hermann Tilke, who waxed enthusiastically about building a track with a constant gradient.[3]

Design

Because of its seclusion and relative anonymity, it was envisioned that it could be used for sensitive driving exercises, including manufacturer testing and advanced driving instruction for bodyguards or special forces.[3]

The track features Шаблон:Cvt of elevation change over its Шаблон:Cvt length, with maximum gradients of +21/-26% through 44 crests and dips and 19 turns.[4]

In 2019, the driving simulator software RaceRoom added Bilster Berg to its tracks.[5]

Lap times

Bilster Berg does not record official lap times; in 2014, the Donkervoort D8 GTO set a lap record for regular production vehicles at 1:46.120,[6] which the firm celebrated by releasing a limited Bilster Berg Edition.[7] Lars Kern set a new record of 1:43.100 in a Porsche 911 (991.2) GT3 RS in 2020.[8]

The Volkswagen ID.R electric time attack car set the unofficial overall track record in 2020 with a lap time of 1:24.206.[9]
