Glock: Hockenheim will be a special race

Monday 14th July 2008

Timo Glock is eagerly anticipating this weekend's German Grand Prix, the Toyota driver's first time racing at home in F1.

The 26-year-old was born in Lindenfels, a short drive from the Hockenheim circuit, the venue for this weekend's grand prix, making the race very much a home event for him.

And given its close proximity to where he was born, Glock is expecting to see many a familiar face in the crowd come Sunday afternoon.

"A lot of friends are coming down and a lot of people I know," the Toyota driver said. "That makes it quite a special race."

The track also holds fond memories for Glock who made a double podium appearance there during the 2006 season when he raced in the GP2 series.

"Every time I've been to Hockenheim I have had really good races and I've won a few times," he said.

"It's one of the best races of the year for me, not just because it's my local track but also because I have been strong there."
