The most popular means of transport in and around Germany is to drive.  If driving from Dresden , take the A4 autobhan towards Erfurt and exit at Wüstenbrand on to the S242.  Head towards Oberlungwitz, then take the B173 to Hohenstein-Ernstthal and follow signs to the circuit.   From Halle/Leipzig, take the A14 autobahn in the direction of Dresden, the at Nossen Interchange take the A4 towarda Erfurt and follow the directions as above.

The Sachsenring is by necessity quite far from any town, but that doesn’t mean that it is hard to reach. You’ve got a car, probably, as you’re going to a motorsports event, so take the exit from Autobahn 4 at Hohenstein-Ernstthal and follow signs. Parking is easy and not expensive for a whole race weekend. It isn’t too difficult to get to the track by public transport. Hohenstein-Ernstthal is easily reached from Chemnitz via train.

Trains are also available, running from Berlin through to the Sachsenring. The closest train station to the circuit is Hohenstein-Ernstthal, which is around a 20 minute walk from the circuit.

Taxis and Uber are available over race weekend.
