Police discover illegal races were being held at Hockenheim

What a way to flout the law. Of course, the golden rule for every driver with a slightly heavy right foot should be that races are run on circuits, not on the streets. Perhaps they took it too literally in Germany, since around 100 people, along with 43 cars, were arrested by German police after they discovered that illegal races were being run on the circuit on Saturday night.

As is often the case, the meeting was organised over the Internet. Once the track had closed at dusk, they were able to get in later by forcing the gates. The scene the German police found was that they were holding a night race and it seems it wasn’t the first time. As they were not on a public road, the penalty that could apply to them would only be trespassing on private property.

The truth is, although these things should not be done, I would have liked to be there. The police locked them up, but only they know how much fun the 43 cars and their owners had at Hockenheim.
