Together with a friend you have the chance to drive in the impressive high speed oval with banked curves of up to 49.7 degrees, which is like a shot of adrenaline when you feel the zero side force. After having lunch together with the participants of the Torpedo Run you can conquer the reproduction of the small Hockenheimring, an impressive track known by Formula 1 fans.
Racing driver and former F1 pilot Timo Glock will also join the Torpedo Run. In 2004 he gathered some points for Jordan in the Formula 1. Last year Timo Glock won Champ Car World Series "Rookie of the Year" honors. And it could be that the young racing driver will start in the Formula 1 again. Timo Glock wants to give participants of the Torpedo Run the possibility to drive together with him on the reproduction of the small Hockenheimring, a track known by Formula 1 fans. So you can experience as a co-pilot of a professional racing driver the corners and straights in a Porsche 997.
