Toyota Deutschland Gmbh Öffentlichkeitsarbeit & Presse TOYOTA DEUTSCHLAND GMBH ÖFFENTLICHKEITSARBEIT & PRESSE Toyota Deutschland GmbH 50420 Köln Tuesday 4 December 2007 PANASONIC TOYOTA RACING JEREZ TEST – DAY 1 Location: Circuito Permanente de Jerez, Spain Drivers: Timo Glock, Kamui Kobayashi Track length: 4.428km ALL CHANGE Panasonic Toyota Racing began a new era today with Timo Glock and Kamui Kobayashi testing for the first time since being confirmed as race driver and third driver respectively for 2008. Both drivers got their first taste of the TF107, although Kamui’s car featured significant changes with a view to next season, including a revised rear end. Timo and Kamui left the pit garage at Jerez in unison just a minute after the green flag flew and completed installation laps. Both drivers soon got to work understanding their new machinery and making initial set-up changes, with no problems on either car. Kamui had a highly productive day and clocked a mammoth 114 laps - more than any other driver - as he got back into the Formula 1 groove with his first full test for the team since December 2006. Timo, using 2007 electronics without traction control or engine braking, soon struck up a strong working relationship with the team and he also steadily improved his lap times as he became more familiar with the TF107. Timo and Kamui continue tomorrow. Timo Glock - Chassis TF107/03 Best Lap Time: 1min 21.336s Position: 13th Total laps: 69 Total distance: 305.532km Kamui Kobayashi- Chassis TF107/06 Best Lap Time: 1min 22.196s Position: 19th Total laps: 114 Total distance: 504.792km Toyota Deutschland GmbH Hausanschrift: Geschäftsführer: Banken: Postfach, 50420 Köln Toyota-Allee 2, Köln-Marsdorf Keiji Sudo, Markus Schrick Deutsche Bank AG Köln T +49 (0) 2234 102 0 www.toyota.de, www.lexus.de Lothar Feuser, Kiyoshi Tojo (BLZ 370 700 60) 1 079 789 F +49 (0) 2234 102 7206 Köln, Amtsgericht Köln HRB 4070 Thierry Dombreval, Hiroshi Kajikawa WestLB Düsseldorf [email protected] Steuer-Nummer: 223/5819/0038 (BLZ 300 500 00) 190 363 www.toyota-media.de "It was great to get back in a Formula 1 car again. Even though I don’t officially become third driver until January, it feels like I have already begun my role and today I was able to learn a lot about the car. At the start of the day I was just trying to get comfortable with the car and the track and I was able to do a lot of laps which really helped me. In the afternoon I could work more on set-up and understanding the development parts on the car and I think we made some good progress. I enjoy working with the team and this test is great experience for me before I officially start as third driver next year. Now I can’t wait to get back in the car tomorrow." Pascal Vasselon, Senior General Manager Chassis "It has been a very interesting experience to have two new drivers in the car today. We are very pleased to have Timo in the car and he has made a strong first impression. He is very focused and worked hard today to understand the car and make some improvements in set-up. As expected, he did a good job and provided solid feedback, which is very useful for us. He drove without driver aids today but that was no problem for him because of his experience in GP2 driving without traction is natural to him. The team already know Kamui from his tests with us last winter but he is a young driver with not so much Formula 1 experience so he had to acclimatise and get used to a Formula 1 car again. He did a good job, didn’t make any mistakes and gave us some data on set-up with the new electronics system and new rear end. He also completed an impressive number of laps which shows how fit he is."

    BMW Corporate Communications Media Information DTM 17th June 2017 Two podiums for BMW: Glock and Spengler finish second and third in Hungary thanks to a daring strategy. • Early pit stops bring Glock and Spengler podiums at the Hungaroring. • Spengler celebrates his first podium since Moscow 2016. • Wittmann also finished in the points in ninth place. Hungaroring. Timo Glock (GER) and Bruno Spengler (CAN) finished second and third in Saturday’s turbulent race at the Hungaroring (HUN) after a strong catch-up race, which saw them claim the third and fourth podiums of the season for BMW Motorsport. Both drivers benefitted from a daring strategy with early pit stops, which paid off after a safety car phase. Marco Wittmann (GER) in ninth also finished in the points. A collision forced Maxime Martin (BEL) and Tom Blomqvist (GBR) to retire. Augusto Farfus (BRA) was in fifth place when he was hit by a rival and the resulting spin saw him drop right down the field. Qualifying: Augusto Farfus in the Shell BMW M4 DTM achieved his best qualifying result of the season and started the race as the best-placed BMW driver in sixth on the grid. His personal fastest lap time was 1:32.275 minutes. Tom Blomqvist in the BMW Driving Experience M4 DTM in tenth place also made it into the top ten. Maxime Martin (SAMSUNG BMW M4 DTM), Timo Glock (DEUTSCHE POST BMW M4 DTM), Marco Wittmann (Red Bull BMW M4 DTM) and Bruno Spengler (BMW Bank M4 DTM) followed in positions 12, 14, 15 and 17.

  • 70Th Victory for Team ABT Sportsline in the DTM
    ABT Sportsline 2021 – Press Release Week 33 70th victory for Team ABT Sportsline in the DTM Kelvin van der Linde has given Team ABT Sportsline its 70th victory in the DTM. Following his victories at Monza and Zolder, the championship leader also won Saturday’s race at the Nürburgring. After the first half of the season, the South African, who lives near Kempten, has a 33-point lead in the drivers’ championship. In the teams’ championship, ABT Sportsline is also at the top of the table after the first half of the 2021 DTM season. Saturday was a picture-perfect day for ABT Sportsline: Kelvin van der Linde secured pole position for the third time this season with a perfect qualifying lap and then celebrated a commanding victory. On the way, he only had to shake twice when late stoppers Timo Glock and Alex Albon put up a massive fight against the ABT driver. The South African stayed cool, grabbed the two opponents and, after crossing the finish line, ordered an ice cream from SAT.1 commentator Eddy Mielke, which was promptly served to him by colleague Andrea Kaiser at the podium ceremony. Walter Kolb accepted the trophy for the winning team. The 73-year-old pensioner from Isny had auctioned a seat at the pit stand of ABT Sportsline for the race at the Nürburgring by donating 6,000 Euros for the victims of the flood disaster in the region. The DTM was the first race event after the flood at the Nürburgring. Before the start of the race, children affected by the flood had visited the ABT Sportsline pit and were even allowed to hold the steering wheel of the eventual winning car in their hands before the race.

    The Williams racing livery will be officially unveiled at the Australian Grand Prix What Frank Williams doesn’t know about Formula One All in all 2007 was a bit of a scrappy year, with Webber and probably isn’t worth knowing. His team have won nine Coulthard finishing in the points only seven times between constructors’ and seven drivers’ championships and when them. The team’s best result was third for Webber at the they line up on the grid in Australia they will be starting their European Grand Prix, where Coulthard was fifth. I was hoping 30th season and 500th grand prix. I think Williams have for a really special Adrian Newey-designed car last season but suffered in recent years from the surge in manufacturer teams for whatever reason it didn’t perform as well as many had such as BMW, Renault, Honda and Toyota. I hope that Frank expected. Red Bull certainly are a solid midfield team but now does not sell to a faceless brand because F1 needs Williams. is the time to push themselves and begin to climb the success This season the car has been looking good throughout testing ladder. Coulthard doesn’t have many seasons left and if he and both their drivers are extremely competent behind the was going to be champion it would have happened already. wheel. I reckon business might be about to pick up. Give Webber a good team-mate and fame and fortune beckon.

    PRESSEINFORMATION Pfronstetten-Aichelau, den 05.08.2021 "Joystick Racer" advocates diversity in the DTM Schaeffler-Paravan brand ambassador Janis McDavid "starts" DTM race in Zolder Janis McDavid is eagerly awaiting his first official DTM race. At the third race weekend of the 2021 season in Zolder, Belgium, he will drive the opening lap - as part of the Diversity Challenge of the Diversity Charter. The special feature: Schaeffler Paravan brand ambassador Janis McDavid was born without arms and legs. His childhood dream was to be able to drive a fast sports car around a race track himself one day. In Zolder, this dream is now coming true in front of a large audience. The 29-year-old is piloting a BMW M3 specially tailored to his needs with the second generation of the digital Space Drive "by-wire" driving and steering system. The author and motivational trainer thus sets himself another big task. With its ten turns, Zolder is considered an "old school" race track. Fast, challenging and not without its challenges: "A driving mistake quickly leads to a ride into the gravel bed - I have great respect for that," says McDavid. On Friday before the race, Timo Glock will therefore familiarize the "joystick racer" once again with the details of the circuit. McDavid: "I'm particularly proud to lead the top-class field at this particular venue." After all, the Belgian circuit calls itself the "Home of DTM." The debut race was held here in 1984. Another challenge: The 4-way joystick, which is completely integrated into the customized seat shell, has to sit firmly under Janisʼ armpit even at high speeds and with the corresponding centrifugal forces on the race track.

    Inside Track – Melbourne Preview [Opening credits] Christine: Hi everyone, welcome to Inside Track from Sidepodcast. In 2007 we brought you race previews throughout the year, profiling the tracks and giving a taste of things to come in the upcoming race weekend. This time round, we’re expanding that idea so let’s have a look at what’s in store. Coming up we’ve got a look back at last year in Australia and a look forward at what to expect this year. But first, we need to remind ourselves of the 2008 Entry List. Christine – Voiceover Everything stays the same at the top with Raikkonen, Massa, Heidfeld and Kubica all keeping with their teams. Alonso has rejoined Renault and has a new rookie team mate to do battle with: Nelson Piquet. Rosberg remains at Williams, and Nakajima turns his one race debut from last year into a full season’s race seat. Coulthard and Webber remain at Red Bull, and Trulli at Toyota. Timo Glock makes his F1 return, taking the place of the departed Ralf Schumacher. Toro Rosso fill their team with Sebastians, Vettel hoping to continue his strong start from last year, and Bourdais making the transition from Champ Car Champion to F1 rookie. Honda retain Button and Barrichello, and sister team Super Aguri also keep their pair Davidson and Sato. Brand new Force India keep Adrian Sutil from his Spyker days, and catch Fisichella as he is ousted from Renault. Relegated to the end of the entry list but not the end of the pit lane, McLaren of course retain Hamilton and welcome Heikki Kovalainen as their replacement for Alonso.
