- 12 – 14. 09. 2025 Safety training of a different kind
Organizer: Tom Dittes
High Performance Training Center Boxberg
12.09: Arrival until 18:00 Hotel Best Western Bad Mergentheim13.09: High Performance Driver Training – a different kind of driver safety training!
High-performance cars, such as the BMW i8, which is enough to accelerate the continental drift and get unlimited recognition from one or the other passenger, need a run. It goes without saying that such a piece of sports equipment only belongs in expert and responsible hands. But even top athletes can only develop through individual training and honest feedback. That’s why they put themselves in the hands of experienced trainers.
Naturally, there is only one suitable sports venue for your work-out: the Bosch test site in Boxberg.
The test center in Boxberg offers a fascinating Area51 atmosphere, where normally only million-dollar prototypes from all well-known car manufacturers complete their highly dynamic tests. Here you can let off steam to your heart’s content for a whole day. There are not many places in the world where car enthusiasts have access to obstacle-free asphalt surfaces with a diameter of 300 meters. Or a three-kilometer-long high-speed oval with banked turns that give the feeling of aerobatics on the ground.
Or crisp handling tracks in Rally Monte Carlo style, in short: a driving paradise with the total size of around 100 soccer pitches.8:00-16:00 incl. snacks, drinks, lunch and coffee breaks.
In the evening a cozy finale in the restaurant: to be determinedReturn to the hotel and after a “high performance on the training center” visit the bar to finish.14.09: after individual breakfast departure
