Track days - Hockenheim

[teds]

I and a couple of experienced track day friends are trying to organise some European outings in 2010. We have Spa, Le Mans,and the Nurburg GP circuits in hand, and are talking to Zolder.
Does anybody know who to contact for Hockenheim track days?

Hi teds,
I found this one :
http://www.pistenclub.de/Termine/tabid/54/language...

For further information, you might try the Hockenheimring itself :
Telefon: 06205 / 95 00
Fax: 06205 / 950 299
E-Mail: [e-mail]

although they only offer "tourist drives" and refer to the pistenclub for track day booking.

Better mail them, I don´t know how good their english is, their german is bad enough...

Hi Benni

Many thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the pistenclub only go to Hockenheim early in the year. We are going to use them to get onto the Nurburg GP circuit. I will contact Hockenheim direct, and hope they speak English

Just read about this in my local newspaper, and I´m not associated with them :

Ferrari Frankfurt organizes driver training & track day on May 26th on Hockenheim circuit.
Mostly Ferraris, but guests with "other brands" of sportscars are also welcome.
Last year they had 40 italian stallions and 30 other cars to complete the max. 70 cars on track.
(Maserati, Porsche, A-M, Lambo, Merc, Audi, BMW)
I am not so sure about this (never been to a "track day"), but there are several choices, drive with an instructor or on your own.
Amongst the instructors are Kurt Thiim (ex-DTM Champion) and Sascha Bert who has been winning FIA GT rounds.
You can view the page of the Ferrari Frankfurt dealer here :

the pdf File for entering is here (both in german only, maybe ask them via phone or mail for details)

There are some trophies for the "constant (fast?) driving challenge",
the "458 Italia" will be on track for selected customers
and the "California" for test drives off track.
cost is 545€ for drivers and 75€ for accompanying guests.
