We hope you will find something of interest to read in this edition. I know I personally learn a lot from the newsletter articles and I am fascinated by the engagement and performance of the great drivers and riders, many of which I also get to see perform live. I also enjoy working with the organizers before, during and after the events, something I get the opportuntity to do over the next week down in Hockenheim. If you are on site, I hope to see you there!
Stay tuned for more from our crew of editors and photographers before long..
