Wahnsinn – Illegale Autorennen

In the organizer's words:

"The special exhibition on illegal car racing was created at the German Museum of Technology in Berlin in collaboration with the Berlin police. The traffic center adds a local reference to "madness".

Using current examples - such as the so-called Kudamm racer case, which led to the death of a bystander in 2016 - the question is explored as to why some horsepower enthusiasts recklessly live out the "speed kick" and to what extent historical roots of an automotive culture and social models contribute to this.

The necessity of countermeasures is drastically demonstrated by the accident vehicles on display: stricter legislation and criminal prosecution, education and road safety education, the reconstruction and reconstruction of roads as well as driver assistance systems to limit speed should curb the madness of illegal car racing."
