Some race attendees posed for photographs with him, apparently delighted to capture selfies with "the Führer".
Security personnel arrested him and transported him to a police station for questioning.
"Such behavior has absolutely no place at our racetrack. We responded instantly upon identification," declared the race director, confirming that the man would be permanently banned from future events.
German police representatives confirmed that "criminal investigators have launched an immediate inquiry into this incident”, adding that “the suspect faces charges for displaying symbols of prohibited organisations".
The man faces severe legal consequences as prosecutors prepare their case. German statutes mandate significant penalties for Nazi glorification, including fines of up to tens of thousands of euros, as well as judicial discretion to impose up to three years' imprisonment.
