History

The Affalterbach Circuit's history is deeply intertwined with the story of AMG, which was founded in 1967 by former Mercedes engineers Hans Werner Aufrecht and Erhard Melcher (the "A" and "M" in AMG, with "G" representing Aufrecht's birthplace of Grossaspach). The track evolved from a modest testing area to a comprehensive development facility as AMG grew from a small independent tuning company to becoming Mercedes-Benz's high-performance division.

Throughout the decades, the circuit has played a crucial role in developing legendary vehicles that have dominated motorsport and set new standards for production cars. Following Mercedes-Benz's acquisition of AMG in the 1990s, significant investments expanded the facility to its current state. Today, the Affalterbach Circuit continues to serve as the heartbeat of Mercedes-AMG, where innovation in performance technology is born and refined before making its way to roads and racetracks worldwide.
