Another section of the former Opel racetrack. Amazing how low the curve of the racetrack was. Sometimes you can go for a walk on the exposed surface.

Racing pioneers fought hot battles on the Opel oval, which was completed in 1919, and Fritz von Opel tested his legendary rocket vehicle in 1928. ...
50,000 spectators made the pilgrimage to the wooded area three kilometers south of Rüsselsheim at the height of the Opel racetrack. At that time no one thought of Avus, the Nürburgring or even Hockenheim. With the concrete banked curves, the railway was reminiscent of its role model in Indianapolis in the United States. Even in the early days, racing cars raced through the 1.5 kilometer oval at up to 140 km/h.
