The chicanes were reprofiled for the final turn after the fatalities at Imola, and the chicanes were renamed after Jim Clark at the place of his death in 1968, and Ayrton Senna who was killed at Imola.

By the late '90s, the track was established as a firm favourite. Not one track in the world had the forest blasts like Hockenheim, and it was the fastest circuit in the world. The circuit had gained hugely in character, and was unique.

In 2000 though, the FIA were concerned that it was becoming too unsafe for Formula One.
