The name of former German grand prix star Ralf Waldmann, who died unexpectedly of a heart attack in March at the age of 51, has been remembered at the Sachsenring, at the track’s finest feature.
The famous and daunting Turn 11, the first right-hander for half a lap followed by “the waterfall” downhill plunge, has been title Waldmann Corner.
Waldmann finished second in the 250cc World Championship in 1996 and 1997, and had recently become a popular and humorous TV commentator in Germany.
