GPL/GTL Addon Track Install: Bremgarten
Track Information
Willkommen zum Bremgartenwald
One of the most difficult and revered tracks to have ever been host to a Grand Prix was
that of the Bremgarten circuit located just outside the city of Bern, Switzerland. The
7280.56 meter (4.5252 mile) layout consisted entirely of public roads and was the home of
the Swiss Grand Prix between the years of 1934 and 1954. After the tragedy at LeMans in
1955 where some
80 spectators were killed, the Swiss government enacted a total ban on motor racing that
remains in effect to this day. Thus the Bremgarten circuit became yet another abandoned
temple of speed that could only be revisited in memory and photograph...until now.
With the advancement of technology and the speed of the microchip, you can now relive what
it was like all those years ago courtesy of Grand Prix Legends and the Sim Racing Club
Bern. You will now understand what it was like to drive blindingly fast down everyday
public roads lined with nothing more than trees, fight for traction on cobblestone
streets, and just simply marvel at what World Championship Formula One racing used to be
like.
So with that said, enjoy your trip to Bremgarten and a time when the true heroes of
motorsport lived and died.
