Today I hug the AVUS. When I talk to my American friends, they inevitably say something to the effect of, "You're so lucky to drive on the Autobahn. It is like driving on a race car track." In fact, if you are driving in Berlin on the A115, you ARE driving on a race car track. The Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungsstraße (thankfully always truncated to "AVUS") was originally constructed in 1921 to be an automobile test track and racing venue. Incorporated into the national Autobahn system, this stretch of highway continued to be used as an occasional racetrack until 1998. The most visible remnants of this road's racing history are the AVUS rest stop and hotel, which used to house the race track's control center, and this grandstand for spectators which can still be accessed from Messedamm in Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf.
