  AVUS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Automobil Verkehrs und Übungs-Straße, better known as AVUS, was a motor racing circuit on the south-western outskirts of Berlin, Germany, between Charlottenburg and Nikolassee.
Also, it was planned to connect the AVUS to the growing Reichsautobahn network by extending it to the south, so the South Turn at Nikolassee was demolished and replaced by a junction.
It is a common yet wrong belief that the Berlin Wall had cut the AVUS in half.

 8W - Where? - AVUS
That meant that the old Avus North curve from 1921 had to go and the track had to be shortened.
However, as AVUS already was an extremely fast track - it consisted of two, some 9 km long, parallel straights connected by a 180 degree curve at each end - it meant that from now on the racing cars only had to go through one slow curve per 19.286 km lap.
The new North curve was built with a surface of red bricks and had a banking of 43 degrees.

 AVUS - Term Explanation on IndexSuche.Com
Also, it was considered important to connect the AVUS to the growing Reichs-Autobahn network by extending it to the south.
For post-war racing, the extremely long straights were shortened by the introduction of a new south turn roughly in the middle (just before the exit at Hüttenweg, were it can still be seen nowadays), reducing the track length to 8.3 km (just over 5 miles).
Racing was continued with a flat north turn, but AVUS only held national touring cars DTM and Formula_3 events.

And yes, indeed to me a very fascinating circuit, even if there was a trend in the media in the recent years to regard the track "not demanding enough".
The northern part of the AVUS ended up in the US Zone and the original south curve in the Soviet Zone, hence the circuit being chopped short.

If your RST is using "you need an avus to become Khaibit" as a way to keep you from playing a Khaibit, he's just wrong; if he's got some storyline reason why he doesn't want to you play a Khaibit, that's different, I guess.
I also heard unconfirmed rumor that at ICC there were very powerful NPCs sent out as Khabit hunting parties, to "thin the heard" because once again there are "too many Khaibit".
