The Location

German Stuntweek is one of Germany's most spectacular motorsport events: motorcycle stunts, pure adrenaline, smoking tires, and daring tricks on the runway of an old airport between Leipzig and Halle. This is exactly where our workshops take place – exclusive, right in the middle of the action, and with full Sony power. With us, you get access to the paddock & the training zone!

It's going to be loud – it smells like gasoline and burnt rubber. If you love action, this is the place for you.

Safety first: For all participants, safety is the top priority. Before the start, there will be a mandatory safety briefing to clarify where you are allowed to move as a photographer and how to behave safely in the show zone area. Active photography on the grounds is not permitted without participating in the briefing.
