The turbocharged madness that is the DTM, or the German Touring Car Championship, returned to its birthplace last weekend when the series staged a race at Zolder, in Belgium, after a 17-year hiatus. Was it worth the wait or was the diminutive track that sits merely one hour away from the more famous Spa-Francorchamps just too small from the pack of angry Audis, BMWs, and Aston Martins? Read on to find out. When you think about racing in Belgium, you most likely picture the famous Eau Rouge uphill chicane that's the signature bit of the country's current Grand Prix race track, Spa-Francorchamps. But, besides the fact that the section is called Raidillon, Belgium boasts more than one venue that was bestowed with the honor of hosting a Formula 1 Grand Prix. In fact, Zolder, the track I head for last Friday, hosted the Belgian Grand Prix every year between 1973 and 1984 with the exception of the 1974 edition, when the Grand Prix was moved to Nivelles, and the 1983 edition when competitors dipped their toes in the water at Spa which would become the permanent home of the race from 1985 onwards. So, it's fair to say that this little, 2.49-mile long track located in the province of Limburg near Hasselt, in the town of Heusden-Zolder doesn't deserve the apparent shroud of anonymity that seems to cover the premises. You see, this is a track with its own 24-hour endurance race, a track that has routinely hosted the NASCAR European Series, the FIA European Truck Racing Championship, the FIA GT Series and even the Champ Car World Series 12 years ago. But, just as worthy of a mention is that here, on this tight circuit that features three chicanes and almost no passing opportunities, is where the first DTM race took place on March, 11th 1984.
