BMW Sauber F1 Team driver Nick Heidfeld (GER) will be in Valencia, together with GP2 champion Timo Glock (GER) and Formula 1 driver Sebastian Vettel (GER), both former Formula BMW champions themselves. On Thursday, Christian Vietoris (GER) will be temporarily promoted to the F1 squad for a day: as reward for victory in the 2006 Formula BMW World Final in Valencia, the 18-year-old now has the opportunity to test a BMW Sauber F1 Team car.

Source: BMW Formula BMW World Final 2007 Team/ Competitor Information 01/ 2007 The venue and date for the Formula BMW World Final 2007 have been confirmed. The high point of the season for the four international Formula BMW series will take place at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain from 22nd – 25th November. The event will see the worldwide leading Formula BMW drivers battling it out for overall victory – and a prize which would be a dream of every up-and-coming young racing driver: a Formula One test with the BMW Sauber F1 Team. This will be the second year in succession that the circuit on Spain’s Mediterranean coast has hosted the spectacular climax to the Formula BMW season. “The Formula BMW World Final 2006 in Valencia was a big success,” recalls BMW Motorsport Director Mario Theissen. “The drivers, teams, partners and sponsors were really excited about the event, so we are delighted to be returning to Spain this year. Valencia is a very special place for us, somewhere we always like to go back to. The Team Launch for the BMW Sauber F1 Team took place there at the start of the year, as has Formula One testing. Plus, Valencia is home to the Formula BMW Racing Center, hosts World Touring Car Championship races and formed the backdrop for this year’s America’s Cup. The Spanish city has become something of a second home for us.” Like Marco Holzer (GER) in 2006, last year’s winner Christian Vietoris (GER) will be given the opportunity by the BMW Sauber F1 Team to test one of their Formula One cars on the Thursday before the Formula BMW World Final. As Theissen explains: “Christian has earned this test fair and square. Last year he not only claimed overall victory in Formula BMW Germany, but also fought off the challenge of the 35 best international Formula BMW drivers to win the World Final in impressive style. We are extremely proud to say that Christian is already the fifth Formula BMW graduate to have been given his first Formula One experience by the team.” This year’s World Final will once again be complemented by an attractive support programme. The successful BMW cars from the brand’s multi-category motor sport line-up – such as the BMW 320si WTCC competing in the World Touring Car Championship and the spectacular BMW Z4 M Coupé – will be on show at the track alongside racing legends like the BMW V12 LMR and BMW M3 GTR. Added to which, the BMW Sauber F1 Team – and its BMW Sauber F1.07 car – will play an active part in the weekend beyond Vietoris’ test. Further information will be distributed soon. Issued by: Adrienne Watson Event Manager Vietoris Excited About BMW Sauber Test Christian Vietoris has admitted he is incredibly excited about his forthcoming opportunity to test the BMW F1 car in Valencia. The 18 year old is getting this opportunity thanks to winning the 2006 BMW World Final event. He will drive the F1.07 at this years 2007 BMW World Final event. “Everyone tells me the that the brakes are extremely powerful and the g-forces,” said Vietoris. “I try to imagine the circuit much faster than I’ve actually experienced it so far. This way I can at least prepare as much as possible.” It will be a good opportunity for the talented youngster to prove himself; also useful on the account that BMW Sauber are hunting for a new test driver. Could Vietoris be the man?
