DTM meets Mercedes-Benz fan series

A lap on the Norisring while the German Touring Car Masters (DTM) are taking place – Mercedes Benz made this dream come true for a number of lucky winners

Mercedes-Benz Nuremberg held a prize draw with which its lucky winners could spend a day test-driving different models of the Mercedes-Benz “fan series”.

The winners met at the Nuremberg branch around midday to get a briefing about the planned course and respective car.

After a short period of time, the participants were already sitting in their cars and set off for Lauf and the picturesque Hersbruck region in the direction of Neumarkt, from where they returned home again – a slight detour along several country roads and the autobahn was also on the agenda.

However, returning home again did not mean returning to the Mercedes-Benz branch – the actual highlight of the day was yet to come. They went to the Norisring, where the DTM qualifying had just ended.

All participants were given the opportunity to push their respective car models to the limit at the race course – an unforgettable experience for all winners and also my first time to sit in a car on the Norisring.

By chance, my colleague Uwe Niklas was also at the race course on the same day and took a plethora of photos, also capturing me in our pace car, a Mercedes GT-S. The car itself is madness! However, on the Norisring, with speeds far beyond the usual, I do not really have to hang myself out of the car window again. Nevertheless, it was an unforgettable experience!
