Hungerzell, Germany- Practice for the IGSA World Championships got underway today under hot, humid weather conditions. The track begins with a series of slower technical turns before heading into a long, fast straightaway where speeds in the 100 km/h rrange were being achieved by the top riders. At the end of the fast straight is the Risch Carousel that requires heavy braking before the sweeping turn of more than 180 degrees. This corner is where many races will be won and lost on Saturday.
