Most people come to Fühlinger See in order to walk around the lake, do some inline skating, take a swim in summer or do rowing. The World Rowing Championship took place in 1998 at Fühlinger Lake (at the rowing regatta); and each year in July the Summer Jam Reggae Festival is being thrown near the lake.
When you get there on saturdays and sundays head for the parking area at the lake; you won’t miss it because this is the spot where RC-Car drivers meet and have their races. It sounds as if real formula one cars are driving around.
I went to the pit stop where all cars get ready for race: Start your engines, we are talking about “1-Gear-machines whose bumpers are not fixed, yet.” That’s what the drivers say. At some parts of the recording you hear real racing cars from the A1 motorway (running south from this area).
