A race car driver’s perspective…
Over the last few years I have had the opportunity to experience things which many can only dream of doing. Though the path has been filled with many risks, trials and a lot of hard work, it’s moments like these when I realize how incredibly fortunate I am.
Over the last 2 years I have been driving race cars for Volkswagen in the Jetta TDI Cup. I was fortunate enough to earn a spot as a driver in the series and then was even more fortunate to be able to win the coveted Public Relations Contest in both years as well.
With Maximilian Hacklander contesting the American Jetta TDI Cup next weekend, Volkswagen’s proven and successful exchange programme starts to the 2009 motorsport season.
Over the next few weeks a total of five drivers from the well-established ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup will be gathering important experience for the further course of their racing careers in partnering one-make cup series.

Four races this season, four times the same winner. At Volkswagen’s home race at Oschersleben the question in the ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup will be whether or not anyone will put an end to Maciek Steinhof’s winning streak.

As many as four ‘home players’ are likely candidates at the double-header staged in the Magdeburg ‘Börde’ flatlands not far from Volkswagen’s main plant in Wolfsburg. Felix Tigges from Wolfsburg, Marcel Belka from Lehrte, Kris Heidorn from Wunstorf and ProTalent winner Jann-Hendrik Ubben from Ihlow want to shine in front of a large sporting audience. In addition to the three local heroes, the ‘normal suspects’ Elia Erhart, the runner-up in the standings, and Max Sandritter, the third in the standings, are considered candidates for their first victories of the season.

It’s a hat-trick: Maciek Steinhof won the third round of the ADAC Volkswagen Polo Cup at the EuroSpeedway Lausitz in a row and thus consolidated his lead in the overall standings.
The 23-year-old driver from Poland had to defend his lead in a tough battle with Elia Erhart from Nuremberg and Simon Reinberth from Sweden, who clinched places two and three. The entire 15-lap race also saw close duels behind the three front runners in which the Swede Marcus Fluch kept the upper hand in fourth place in front of touring car rookie Kris Heidorn (Wunstorf) and Stefan Kolb (Karlsruhe). Steinhof had won Saturday’s race at Lausitz as well, followed by Kolb and Erhart.
