	Hermann Tilke - Uncyclopedia
		Hermann Tilke, born 1955 in Germany, is renowned as the world's leading butcher of traditional Formula One motor racing circuits.
		Tilke founded Tilke Engineering in 1984, combining skills in architecture, engineering and the undeviating obedience of a lapdog to provide complete solutions for motor racing and waste disposal projects.
		Tilke is most famous for his work re-designing classic tracks, such as the A1-Ring in Austria and the Hockenheimring in Germany, creating blander and more generic F1 circuits than ever before.

	Hermann Tilke - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hermann Tilke (born December 31, 1955 in Olpe) is a German architect, designer of Formula One motor racing circuits and auto racer.
		Tilke was also involved in the radical overhauls of the Hockenheimring in Germany and most recently the Fuji International Speedway in Japan.
		Tilke's trademark is a long straight followed by a very tight hairpin, which is supposed to encourage overtaking.

		Tilke is of one of the people who exerts the greatest influence over the modern shape of Formula One racing.
		Not that his influence on the sport ends there, Tilke being involved in the redesign of the A1-Ring in Austria and the new circuit at Hockenheim in Germany.
		Another common Tilke theme in China is the proximity of fans to the action, with grandstands capable of accommodating 50,000 people positioned as close to the track as possible, and the track itself passing under a gigantic 'wing' structure 140 metres across on the main straight.

		Bahrain was one of several contenders from the region, with Dubai and Egypt also eager to host races and Turkey, bridging east and west, also in the frame.
		Richards said that the announcement of Bahrain, at a time of uncertainty and potential conflict in the region, was an indication of Formula One's residual strength.

		“Hermann Tilke, among the best-known Formula One track designers, has been to both the cities and the International Automobile Federation (FIA) is in touch with someone in the Andhra government,” the source said.
		About four years ago, Tilke had also visited Calcutta and looked at a location the government had earmarked in Rajarhat, on the eastern outskirts close to the airport.
		Southern states have nearly always been more nimble-footed — more, at least, than their eastern counterparts — in wooing such large investments as an international motor racing circuit will entail.
