#4 The two-heat race at AVUS
The AVUS hosted the German Grand Prix in 1959, which was held across two-heats. The dangerous race track was over 8km long and had an interesting design with only four major turns. Interestingly, this was the only race in Formula 1 history that had a concept of multiple rounds.
Trending
Tony Brooks's brilliant drives with the Ferrari ensured that he won the race across the two rounds and the win at the German Grand Prix was his second of the season. He went on to finish the season in the second place behind Sir John Arthur Brabham.
Frenchman Jean Behra was killed in a sportscar crash the very same weekend, and this ensured that it was going to be the only Formula 1 visit to the AVUS track.
