The Upper Bavarian Christoph Hofbauer is a late bloomer in motorsport, having started his racing career in karting only six years ago. His strong performances in the 2015 Audi Sport TT Cup are therefore all the more remarkable. Hofbauer finished in ninth place overall and would more than likely have achieved an even better place if he had not been forced into a spectator’s role in the last three races of the season due to a hand injury. The German tips the scales at merely 67 kilograms, in spite of pork knuckles being his favorite dish. He regularly works off the excess calories – in climbing, among other things.
