Circuit designer Hermann Tilke doesn’t deserve his reputation as the guy who builds soulless F1 ‘Tilkedromes’. Still, the F1 rule book must feel like a straitjacket, so the former Cold War ammunition depot of Bilster Berg Drive Resort is what happens when Tilke bins the rules. Secreted far from spying eye in a pine forest near Bielefeld in northern Germany, your first glimpse of the track is a wall of bitumen: the Mausefalle (Mouse Trap) which careens down into a crushing compression before leaping up into a completely blind corner just as the car unweights atop the crest. It’s almost malicious, but turns out to be an absolute riot to drive. This mini-Nordschleife rewards agility: try a Lotus Exige.
