: 12 races, 6 countries, 1 winner! The 2011 DTM season is now in full swing as the most popular touring car series in the world makes its way to Brandenburg’s Lower Lausitz region. Located near Klettwitz in the state of Brandenburg in Eastern Germany, the Speedway is close to the borders of both Poland and the Czech Republic and since 2007 the DTM circuit features a better overtaking opportunity, thanks to the re-design of turn one. Like all modern tracks, the EuroSpeedway was built to the highest possible safety standards. However, in its first year of operation there were three serious accidents at the track. On April 26, 2001 former Formula One driver Michele Alboreto was killed while testing an Audi R8 Le Mans Prototype racecar. On May 3 of the same year an inexperienced track marshal was killed when he was hit by a touring car during a test session. Finally, on September 15, 2001 Alex Zanardi, the very popular 2-time champion of the American CART series lost both his legs in an accident on the track's oval.
