Kassel-Calden Circuit was a 2.590 km (1.609 mi) former airfield circuit located on the Kassel Airport in Kassel, Hesse, Germany.[1]
The circuit was opened in August 1971 for the venue of ADAC Hessenpreis due to the expensive costs of hiring Hockenheimring for this event.[1] Besides national championships, the circuit also hosted races for some international championships, such as FIA European Formula 3 Championship and Interserie.
