The tracks<br />
Hockenheim (D)<br />
Round 9 – 17/10/<strong>2010</strong><br />
Markus Winkelhock<br />
“Racing at Hockenheim is like coming home for me, as I<br />
only live 120 kilometres away. The circuit layout has always<br />
suited me well. There are two or three spots where you can<br />
overtake: up to the Spitzkehre hairpin bend, in the next<br />
bend and sometimes in the Motodrom section too. We<br />
have a lot of data for the <strong>Audi</strong> <strong>A4</strong> <strong>DTM</strong> in Hockenheim as we<br />
used to test them there and we also compete in two <strong>DTM</strong><br />
races there every year. The first bend after the start/finish<br />
is slightly tricky as there is a red mark you are not allowed<br />
to drive over. The views for the spectators have always been<br />
impressive, and that’s something we even notice as drivers.<br />
When my uncle Jockel used to participate in the <strong>DTM</strong>, I liked<br />
to sit in the grandstand on the Sachs bend, and this is still<br />
one of the best spots for spectators on this circuit.”<br />
