its current format and location in the Hunsruck region of south-west Germany. Based at the Rasthof Hochwald services, just south of the Al autobahn's crossing of the picturesque Mosel valley, the test is decided on circuits of a hilly all-autobahn route that runs backand-forth along the A62 and Al. The only difference to the previous running is that due to roadworks, the turn-round point at the southern end is one junction earlier, shortening the route by 21.5km per circuit. Five circuits were run over ONO days, the first one for familiarisation and then one with each tractor/ trailer combination. We were lucky this year in that the fine weather conditions stayed consistent over the two days, and there were no significant traffic problems.
