Friend showed me this.

Anyone know anything about it? He says there a rumours its Audi's (not so) secret test facility.

Looks interesting! It really is in the middle of nowhere!

It does indeed look interesting! Surely Audi have Ehra Liessen (Sp?) that they can use, plus also it's only 2 lanes wide - you'd want it at least 3, surely, for any sort of speed?


Edit; the straights look about 4km long each, so it's a fair old size!!!

Yes it is - but VW/Audi are the same group.

However, I've just found this...

and you're quite right, it is Audi's!

[vescaegg]

Awesome! They sure have gone to great lengths to put it out of the way a bit!

You'd think with all that space they would have a few twisty bits as well?
