In May 2023, ADAC launched a pilot project at the \u201cHockenheim Historic \u2013 The Jim Clark Revival\u201d at the Hockenheimring: For the first time, the automobile club became involved in historic motorsports on a circuit. After the successful premiere, the ADAC is now going one step further and will take over the title patronage of the \u201cHockenheim Historic\u201d in the future and support the organization and staging of the event. In doing so, the mobility club is taking account of the great interest shown by participants and visitors in classic motor sport events and in the \u201cHockenheim Historic\u201d in particular. At this year\u2019s edition, the event once again lived up to its reputation as one of the largest and most attractive classic events in Europe. In front of a record crowd of more than 35,000 fans, around 500 vehicles in eleven racing series made the Motodrom shake, offering a fascinating mix of historic formula, touring, GT and super sports cars.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe ADAC is a leader in German motorsport and also an ideal contact for all matters relating to historic vehicles. As a logical consequence, we are happy to support historic motorsport, which is inspiring more and more fans and participants. We are now developing the successful pilot project further into the \u2018ADAC Hockenheim Historic\u2019, we are looking forward to the cooperation at this renowned event,\u201d says Thomas Voss, ADAC Head of Motorsport, Classic and Events.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt the \u2018ADAC Hockenheim Historic\u2019, ADAC will not only contribute its expertise in hosting and communicating motorsport events, but will also be involved in the acquisition of other exciting racing series. The ADAC promotes a number of series that can be a further enrichment for our starting field,\u201d knows Jochen Nerpel, Managing Director of Hockenheim-Ring GmbH.<\/p>\n
His managing director colleague Jorn Teske adds: \u201cIt is a nice confirmation for us that the ADAC has already decided to take over the title patronage for several years after only one year of cooperation at the \u2018Hockenheim Historic\u2019. The integration of the ADAC in the name and logo of the event is a strong signal, but the cooperation will go far beyond that \u2013 we are looking forward to it. Together with ADAC, the success story of the \u2018Hockenheim Historic\u2019 will gather even more momentum.\u201d<\/p>\n
