"Tilkedromes" have become a meme among racing fans and sim racers alike. The term refers to modern, high-tech circuits that make use of enormous asphalt run-off areas as well as tight corners after long straights and technical chicanes, often used in Formula One. As a result, circuit designer Hermann Tilke has a difficult standing with some.

Bilster Berg, however, is the exact opposite of a typical "Tilkedrome": Built on the site of a former ammunition depot of the British army, the track follows the undulations of the landscape and is closer to the Nordschleife than the Yas Marina Circuit in its characteristics. Rally icon Walter Röhrl also had input in the circuits design.

The track was not built with big events in mind, however, instead presenting itself as a "Drive Resort" for track days and manufacturer testing. Luckily, no such restrictions apply in RaceRoom, so throwing around a full grid of your favorite classes is no problem.
