Now I'm on holiday, I'm busy working through various "stuff". On the way, I've come across a new circuit to me, of which I know little. The circuit is Bruenn, in Germany. It was 5.394 km long, and used for a round of the German F3 championship on the 2nd May 1988. Does anyone know anything else about it, have a map etc etc?

Breunn = Brno (Czech Republic)

[Rainer Nyberg]

Yes correct, BRÜNN is German for BRNO.

Darren, don't know nothing about that race, but the palce Brünn which means BR-UE-NN is located in eastern Germany, I had a look in the online telefonbook, so may you are right with Brünn for Germany. But it must be very small, NEVER heard it before. Good luck

It was no F3 race on 2. may 1988, on 1 may was Eifelrennen race in Nürburgring and on 22 may was 4th championship race in Brno (Czechoslovakia).

That's the race I was looking at Fines. Another one of these names which changes according to the language, like Liege - Luettich - Luik.

No, these three are three different towns. Luzern in German Switzerland, Lausanne in French Switzerland, and Lugano in Italian Switzerland.

Holger, do you have smilies disabled in posts you're seeing? If you do then you didn't see a rotating, laughing one after my post... I always thought that one of funniest geographical jokes ever...
