F1 Paddock Club Expert Host - Austria, UK, Hungary, Belgium
Juli was a busy month with each time 2x double headers in Spielberg, Silverstone, Budapest and Spa-Francorchamps. We encountered some wet and hot days during the races which brought up some more action on and off track. I had super nice weekends with the team and looking forward to Monza.
In the timeline down below there are of course missing some GPs like the ones in Miami, Monaco and Spain which also have been great. Also very much looking forward to the upcoming ones after the summer break.
24h Qualifiers and ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring race each finished in P3
Unbelievable but true. Finally I could fulfill my dream and start at the legendary ADAC TotalEnergies 24h race at the Nürburgring. In the qualifying as well as in the race we finished in 3rd place in the BMW 240i class in different team compositions. Simply perfect run with super preparation of my teams Adrenalin Motorsport and thanks to the support of my partners and sponsors.
You can only beam and in the race everything went like clockwork. We delivered consistent times and made no mistakes and with the best weather, at least during the race, we were able to enjoy the atmosphere. It was an indescribable experience to see the many fans around the track and also many thanks to everyone who visited me in the pits and kept their fingers crossed. That helped and I am just overjoyed to have completed this milestone in my career so well.
THANK YOU!!!
Start at 24h Qualifiers and ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring race
It is now prepping time for the 24h Qualifiers end of April and I am so happy to announce that I will be teaming up with Adrenalin Motorsport again for this one and also finally I can live
my dream and race in the ADAC TotalEnergies 24h Nürburgring race on the well-known BMW M240i in May.
This will be a great experience and all the hard work over the years finally pays off:
My dream to race on the legendary Nordschleife in this precious and mystical event!
Commentating the Goodyear Racing Days series in Hockenheim
My first live race commentating was in Hockenheim end of March during the Goodyear Racing Days.
It was fun working with the colleagues again and commentating on the nice races of DMV NES 500, DMV BMW Challenge, DMV Classic Masters, Alfa Romeo Challenge and PRTC geboten.
Both German live streams from the various DMV series can be watched here: Saturday, Sunday.
F1 Paddock Club Expert Host Saudi Arabia
The first Formula 1 race of the year for me was in Saudi Arabia where we had the best weather to welcome our guests to the various activities around and on track. The VIP Circuit Tour as well as the Photo Safari pulled out many happy faces of our customers and we could enrich these experiences and much more with motorsport related insights. Always fun to work with the team and my next one will be Miami :-)
Award ceremony of ADAC Region South - Moderation
I had the honor again to moderate the ADAC Region South award ceremony where young and "old" drivers from the region south / Bavaria received their trophies for the past 2022 season. To be
live again on-site at the Motorworld in Munich was great and also we could welcome our viewers as well on the live stream. There were many categories which were greatly represented by
many drivers and it was also nice to see so many familiar faces again for catching up on our motorsport topics.
If you missed the action you can watch the replay in German here.
In January I was commentating the ADAC Hallen-Trial event in Ingolstadt
This was my first visit of an indoor trial event and super interesting to see the huge sections in a close up. Also first time commentating on such an event and it was perfect to have Felix
Heller by my side as the trial expert. Our studio was setup outside the Saturn Arena and we were happy to commentate this for ADAC Suedbayern with giving some insights into this
sport.
If you missed the action and understand German, you can watch the replay here.
A nice ending of 2022 with at least a 24h race
At least in 2022 I could race a 24h karting race after all the ups and downs. This was a great pleasure as I could also start with my "old" team Sensory Minds GP in Dubai at the 24h race. I saw many familiar faces in the pit lane and could also meet new great team mates. It was a lot of fun and I could also achieve the same lap times of where I left off back then in 2017. Was quite a good feeling after such a long time.
