It is sited across a steep-sided valley, giving rise to dips and crests. The circuit features sharp
changes in gradient, including one section called The Mountain where bikes can become airborne by
up to several feet. Its mix of challenging corners has led to its nickname as the Mini-Nrburgring.[2][3]
