Numerous VIPs at Hockenheim DTM finale
DTM
Hockenheim. The big DTM showdown at the Hockenheimring Baden-W?rttemberg not only electrified 155,000 motorsport fans, but also a great number of VIPs. They wanted to have a close view of the duel for the title between Brit Gary Paffett (Mercedes-Benz) and German Timo Scheider (Audi). Boris Becker climbed into a DTM car himself and got a first-hand experience of the racing feeling, albeit on the passenger seat that was mounted into the AMG Mercedes C-Class especially for the occasion. ?The forces that occur in corners are extreme. But in general, it was just an incredible experience?, said the former Wimbledon champion. Also top model Eva Padberg tried her hand as a passenger.
