Track description by Nico Müller
“Hockenheim is the home circuit of the DTM. Nowhere else has the DTM driven more often. It’s a pity that in 2020 we’ll only be competing in one event there instead of the traditional two. The track is located not too far away from Switzerland, so this event is a kind of home race for me. The Grand Prix circuit with its motodrome has everything my racing driver’s heart desires: fast corners, a long full throttle passage, several braking zones and above all the technically very demanding last sector with various corner combinations.”
