Dear visitors of my homepage,

the start of my first DTM season wasn’t really easy for me because I didn’t have a great experience with the AUDI A4 DTM 07. The first race in Hockenheim was super. My kick off was without any mistakes. The race at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz however stopped me a little bit because I had to pause for the next two races due to damages at my car. After that my performance curve went continuously up. At the Nürburgring I saw the chequered flag in front of my KOLLES Futurecom-TME – team mate Tomas Kostka for the first time. In Barcelona’s qualifying I even was in front of both of my team mates Christian Bakkerud and Tomas Kostka who are much more experienced. At the finale in Hockenheim I finished 13th and that was my best season result.

I have learned a lot this season and I have had also a lot of fun. There were ups and downs. I am very satisfied with the season.

I stood up to my team mates and I showed that I have the talent and the will. The team has supported me brilliantly and my car was always perfectly prepared.

Many, many thanks from here to my mechanic Sebastian Martin, to my engineer Mario Gargiulo, to our team manager Boris Bermes and to the whole KOLLES Futurecom-TME – team!
Special thanks to the team owner Dr. Colin Kolles who was the one who made my DTM debut possible.

We have to do our plannings for next season soon and we will try to do another year in the DTM.

Sincerely yours

Johannes
