Boris Bermes

From Johannes’ Seidlitz team manager’s point of view it must have been the most difficult year in his career. In his opinion it was a hard and rocky year but Johannes did a good job. “He is prepared for the next steps and for bigger actions!“
At the beginning there were many detractors who meant that he is to young for the DTM. However Johannes has proved that he is able to fight and he is able to establish himself within very difficult circumstances. Certainly you could see that on some race tracks Johannes had some difficulties but at others he positively surprised.

Colin Kolles

Johannes showed that he has the same speed like both of his team mates although he has less experience in motorsport. You could see that Johannes developed thru out the season. Team principal Dr. Colin Kolles who has followed him in detail has the same point of view. “For me Johannes has more potential than many other drivers. He has not much experience but he did a good job and he is very young. The talent to drive a car fast is there!“
According to Boris Bermes Johannes has good chances in formula motorsport as well as in the DTM.
Team principal Dr. Colin Kolles and team manager Boris Bermes recommend a cockpit in the Team KOLLES for Johannes for the 2010 season at this time. Johannes is welcome to participate at the tests which the team has planed for December.

November 2009

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
