You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

[[File:Solitude-Rennstrecke Start- und Zielturm.jpg|thumb|Control tower at the start-finish line in Mahdental]]
The '''Solitude racetrack''' is an ((cvt|11.4|km|mi|1|abbr=on)) [[racing|race circuit]] on public roads used for [[motorsport]] in the [[Leonberg]] area, west of [[Stuttgart]], Germany. It is named after [[Castle Solitude]] and until 1965 has hosted various [[motorcycle]] and [[automobile]] races.

== Routes ==
[[File:Hst Schattengrund.jpg|thumb|upright | Shadow ground]]
The traditional track used for motorcycle racing is located above the Bergheim district of Stuttgart, but not in the center of the most important 11.3 km long variant of the former race track. This variant leads from the start and finish house at today's ADAC training ground past the Seehaus and then past the Glemseck near [[Leonberg]] to Frauenkreuz. From there it continues in the direction of Katzenbacher Hof with the Steinbachsee, past the Büsnau district of Stuttgart to the Schattengrund and through the Mahdental back to start and finish before Glemseck. The section from Schattengrund to Glemseck runs in the valley of the Glems.

== History ==
* From 1903: First [[hillclimbing|hillclimb]] track from Stuttgart Westbahnhof (west train station) to Solitude Castle.
* From 1906: The start was moved from Westbahnhof to Heslach, a southern district of Stuttgart.
* From 1925: Circuit with a length of ((cvt|22.300|km|mi|abbr=on)), start and finish at the castle. Direction: counterclockwise.
* From 1931: The circuit was shortened using the road through the Mahdental. Start and finish was moved to the west. Direction: clockwise.
* From 1935: Final circuit layout: The route introduced 1931 through Mahdental plus the part excluded in 1931 form the ((cvt|11.4086|km|mi|abbr=on)) course used until 1965. Direction: counterclockwise.
* Around 100-year celebration at ((cvt|4|km|mi|abbr=on)) short route around the castle, but still at historic track parts
* 1965: Races of motocycles, sports cars and Formula 2 cars mark the final time that international motor sports events were held on the "Solitude".<ref>[https://solitude-revival-verein.de/die-60er-jahre/ Solitude Revival Verein: The Sixties] (German/English)</ref>
* 2003: 100-year celebration on a 4 km short route around the castle, but still using historical parts of the route from 1925-1935. Start and finish moved back to the castle. Racing direction clockwise. The only new part is the shortcut over the wildlife park expressway and its access ramp.
* since 2005: ''Glemseck 101'' annual meeting for custom motorcycles 
* 2011: As a result of the efforts of the ''Solitude-Revival'' and ''Retro Revival Classic Culture'' initiatives, the roads belonging to the latest variant were closed for a weekend as part of the ''2011 automobile summer'' in Baden-Württemberg on the occasion of the 125th "birthday" of the [[Benz Patent-Motorwagen]]. Numerous visitors were able to watch historic racing and sports cars from different eras driving on the racetrack.<ref>[http://www.solitude-revival.org/sr03-evt-11.htm] ((Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121009052051/http://www.solitude-revival.org/sr03-evt-11.htm |date=2012-10-09 )) Report of Solitude Revival Association</ref>
