Hello my dear fans!

As I promised to you, my website is almost ready constructed right now. - brandnew outfit, brandnew colours, brandnew team –

After having numerous and effective test runs I am going to have my first grand entrance at the DTM in Duesseldorf next Sunday.
More than 200,000 spectators are expected to take part in this fascinating event at the so called “Kö” – one of Germanys most famous shopping streets. Absolutely amazing!
I am looking forward to present the newest Mercedes DTM bolids with my top-team.

It is always a great feeling being in Duesseldorf, last but not least because my wife Cora is born there.

You will see a five hours running program including lots of action, wheelspins and very loud noise of engines. In comparison with Formula-1 the DTM stands for a wide more open racing, I know this especially because of my experiences during my time in the Formula-3.
Fans are very close to the race and they can look forward to a very deep impressing spectacle.

There will be more than 15 top racers in eight DTM-racing cars. Katherine Legge and Susi Stoddard are among these drivers racing up and down the “Koenigsallee”.
After this presentation we are going to Hockenheim.

My first race will take place on the 13th of April on the Hockenheimring with my startingnumber 11.

But first of all I have to learn a lot and I have to improve myself concerning the handling of my new racing-car. In the beginning applying the brakes was very difficult for me because one cannot see the tires blocking. DTM-cars are race-cars making lots of fun! Furthermore I had to tamper with the higher weight and the less power of the DTM-Cars in comparison with the Formula-1-cars. One has to take a more precise racing line. In the course of this season I will learn a lot and improve myself in a continuous way – I will keep working hard for it!

Now I would like to thank my top-team and the whole Mercedes Team for their fascinating support!

Moreover I would like to thank all my true fans who gave me so much positive feelings and wishes. In the same way I want to thank my lovely wife Cora- she is backing me all the way and supports me all day long.

I will give you news after the presentation in Duesseldorf!

Yours

Ralf
