This was the only year the German Grand Prix was run on the shorter Südschleife layout. Due to decreasing attendances after the departure of Mercedes-Benz, and the controversial 1959 race at AVUS, it was decided to race on the shorter layout to give spectators a better show (seeing the cars do more laps), and the race was run to Formula Two regulations, which were set to replace Formula One for 1961 anyway, since German manufacturer Porsche had a strong Formula Two car.Posthumus Cyril The German Grand Prix 1966 104–107David Hayhoe, Formula 1: The Knowledge – 2nd Edition, 2021, page 35.
