Premiere für BOSS GP Hypercar Demonstration

Im Rahmenprogramm des Bosch Hockenheim Historic präsentiert die BOSS GP Racing Series dem Publikum den brandneuen Aston Martin Valkyrie.

BOSS GP-Fahrer Thomas Jackermeier (GER, Top Speed) wird am Sonntag, dem 7. Mai 2023, einige Demo-Runden im Aston Martin Valkyrie bestreiten. Die Besucher des Bosch Hockenheim Historic können die Hypercar-Premiere ab 9:35 Uhr mitverfolgen.

Die beeindruckenden technischen Daten des brandneuen Aston Martin Valkyrie lassen einen Rundenrekord für straßenzugelassene Fahrzeuge möglich erscheinen: Der V12-Saugmotor von Cosworth in Kombination mit einem Elektromotor leistet über 1.100 PS. Die sieben Gänge des Doppelkupplungsgetriebes werden sequenziell eingelegt, das Leergewicht des Mittelmotor-Sportwagens liegt bei unter 1.400 Kilogramm.

Tickets für das historische Saisonhighlight inklusive den Rennen der BOSS GP Racing Series am Hockenheimring gibt es unter www.hockenheim-historic.de/info/tickets und an den Tageskassen zu erwerben.

Report Qualifying Imola

Ingo Gerstl on pole, fastest FORMULA driver was Luca Martucci.

The first qualifying session this season for the BOSS GP Racing Series brought a big surprise. While Ingo Gerstl (AUT, Top Speed) will once again start from pole position with the Toro Rosso STR1, the Italian Luca Martucci (MM International) will start for the very first time from row 1. At his home race, the GP2 driver brought himself into an excellent position in the battle for victory in the FORMULA class.

From row 2 the actual favourites Christopher Höher (AUT, Top Speed) and Marco Ghiotto (ITA, Scuderia Palladio) will start the first of two races this weekend. Only a few tenths of a second separated the three fastest GP2 drivers from each other.

Marc Faggionato (MCO, Zig-Zag) was able to fulfil high expectations by finishing fifth overall. After a messed up 2019 season, Salvatore de Plano (ITA, Coloni) can be pleased with 6th place, as this is his first time in an A1 GP Lola car. Walter Steding (DEU) also boasted an impressive performance as as he qualified in his first outing with his new team Scuderia Palladio ahead of Ulf Ehninger (DEU, ESBA Racing) in the Benetton B197 Formula 1. Roman Hoffmann (AUT, Hoffmann Racing) proved to be the fastest of the BOSS GP rookies: he finished 10th overall.

Riccardo Ponzio (ITA, Adriatica Competition) could not participate in the qualifying. The engine of his Jaguar R3 needs to be changed until tomorrow. The 20-minute race 1 starts at 11:15 and, race 2 over a distance of 25 minutes at 16:15.
