Mercedes-AMG Petronas Formula 1 Driver Lewis Hamilton will be one of the special VIPs to attend the last race of the Deutsche Tourewagen Meisterschaft (DTM) championship, at the famed Hockenheimring, in Germany.
His visit on 20 October will not be just for courtesy reasons, since he will also have a job to do – chauffeuring a Mercedes-Benz “race taxi” around the Hockenheim circuit with passengers willing to live the experience.
“I’m really looking forward to attending the DTM finale at Hockenheim and making a return to the DTM paddock. I’ve always been part of the Mercedes-Benz family right from the start of my career in motor racing. During my two years in the Formula 3 Euro Series, I was really in my element on those DTM weekends. The DTM is a highly professional racing series that pulls in unbelievably enthusiastic crowds, which makes it the perfect environment for young drivers to take the first steps in their career. I have very fond memories of my time in the DTM environment and am curious to see how many faces I will recognize in the Hockenheim paddock.” said Hamilton.
One of the passengers will be chosen via a competition organized by regional German broadcaster SWR3. German-speakers who would like to have a go should check out their website or Facebook page from Monday 14th October onwards.
