85 years ago, on July 11, 1926, Berlin hosted the first "Great Prize" of Germany in ring races. German road AVUS. The first German Grand Prix was the first German Grand Prix (Auto-Verkehrs- ÜbungsStraße). It was laid between Berlin and Potsdam. Construction began in the First World War, and Russian prisoners of war were used extensively at work. The road was completed in 1921. It was two giant "buckles", ending with the virages, the south and the north. The total length of the track was 19 km 565 m. The crews of the first German Grand Prix were to pass this distance 20 times (392.3 km). Rudolph Qarachchiola and his mechanic Ougen Saltzer run the AVUS highway, 1926. The starting grill was almost solid-filled with German riders. Of the 32 crew, only two were from France and one from Italy. By the way, it was the Italian, Ferdinand Minoya, on a 1.5-litre O. M. 665 would set the first record of the track in seven minutes and 17 seconds. None of the pre-war Grand Prix names were announced. However, it was difficult to say about the obvious favorites of the race, because it was the strongest downpour, which led to the collision of all the cards. Thus, Adolf Rosenberger of Mercedes (later this pilot Erich-Maria Remarke will lead the novel "Three Comrades" under the name Theo Brumuüller) drove into a box of chronometers, three of which perished. "Karatcha"-so commentators for ease of speech reduced the name of Rudolph Qarachchiola. He was already in a serious race. It is on the first German Grand Prix that the star Karachchiola will rise as Regenmeistera, that is, "the lord of the rain". Mercedes Typ Monza, 1924. Karachchiola performed a 2-liter, 8-cylinder, Mercedes M218 with a capacity of 160 l. two years before the race on the Monza track (which shows that few producers were preparing for the first German Grand Prix). As a result, Karachchiola defeated Karachchiola by way of the 2:54 ' 12. EIGHT. The second was Christian Riker at the time of the German brand NAG (2 :57 ' 33). 2), third-Willy Clair on the Alfa-Romeo RLSS (3 PM ' 16. 8). The German Grand Prix (which will be held at the foot of the other Eiffel road at the foot of the Eiffel Mountains) will win twice the German Grand Prix. This race will be won by Berndt Rosemeyer in 1936. Next time, the Germans will be smiling at their home Grand Prix only in 1995, the winner of Michael Schumacher. German road AVUS.
