It took place on the weekend of 15–17 July 2011 at the Sachsenring, located in Hohenstein-Ernstthal, Germany. The 125cc race was notable for producing a dead heat for first place between Héctor Faubel and Johann Zarco.[4] After a photo finish could not separate the riders, Faubel was awarded first place on the basis that he set a faster laptime during the race.[5]
