The Alemannenring was a motorsport racing track ( street circuit ) in the industrial area of Singen in the district of Konstanz in Baden-Württemberg , where five rounds of the German Touring Car Championship took place from 1991 to 1995 . The 2.8 km route was driven clockwise.

There have been no races on Germany's southernmost racetrack since 1995, although plans to reactivate it included new grandstands and improvements to some sections of the track.

Route characteristics

The nine-meter-wide start-finish straight and the equally wide pit lane were set up on the four-lane Georg-Fischer-Straße . The remaining sections of the route were significantly wider at up to 14 m. After the Pegulan curve, a 90-degree right-hand bend, in which the pit exit was also located, there was a short straight on Carl-Benz-Strasse. Then you turned right into Grubwaldstrasse and shortly afterwards left into Byk-Gulden-Strasse. A right-hand bend took you to the back straight, the Pfaffenhäule, from which you turned right onto Robert-Gerwig-Straße. This street would have been the longest straight if it had not been interrupted by the Radio 7 chicane 150 m from the end. For this chicane , the footpath was included in the route by means of an asphalt ramp. This was followed by a left turn onto Georg-Fischer-Straße, where the extension of the pit lane was now driven in the opposite direction. The subsequent hairpin right-hand bend was by far the slowest section of the route and led to the start-finish straight with the finish line after about two thirds of this straight.
