Here is the race calendar for the MINI Challenge series in Germany where our Swedish driver Fredrik Lestrup will drive for Schubert Motorsport:

18-20/4 Hockenheimring, GP der Stadt Stuttgart.
09-11/5 Oschersleben, GT Masters.
22-24/5 Nürburgring, 24 h race.
06-08/6 Oschersleben, Rock the Race.
18-20/7 Hockenheimring, Formula 1.
08-10/8 Nürburgring, Oldtimer Grand Prix.
29-31/8 Oshersleben, WTCC.
26-28/9 Salzburgring, Finale.

Jocke Mangs from Sweden won the series last year (also driving for Schubert Motorsport) so it will be interesting to follow the series this year and hope that Fredrik Lestrup will have success.

We really enjoyed the rounds they held at Zandvoort to coincide with MINI United 2007, so I like the look of the events that are within striking distance of Luxembourg.....a shame there's not a round at Spa (yes, I know Spa is in Belgium, not Germany, before anyone notices!)

Thats great Red D - I am not sure how to get hold of tickets though, maybe best to go to the website of "the Ring" itself to see if there is any info there.

Snowie · Apr 3rd, 2008, 06:44 AM

I may also be at the 'ring for the Old timers Grand Prix. I went last year and it was fantastic to get into the garages with all of the old F1 and GT cars - you really get to mingle with the owners and mechanics.
One of the best events I have been to, pity the weather was totlay rubish with the whole ring being closed for the complete Friday sessions.

If I am there I wil be with the Swedish team Total Performance Racing who had their team base right outsde the MINI Challene tent last year.

Fredrik · Apr 7th, 2008, 05:58 PM

That´s cool, Alan

I have a dream to at least once in my life go to see the Oldtimer Grand Prix, see all the classic masterpieces being driven like they are supposed to be driven.
It´s good that the MINI Challenge is there aswell, plenty of action for you to see - I am not jealous of you at all

What is the Swedish team driving for a car?

dalboyne · Apr 7th, 2008, 06:10 PM

Would love to go to the Oldtimer GP - alas, am away on holiday then

Fredrik · Apr 14th, 2008, 08:22 AM

Fredrik Lestrup came second in the MINI World Finals held at MINI United 2005, so he knows how to drive a MINI around a racetrack.

This coming weekend is the start of the season, I will try and update the thread with short info about how things are going for Fredrik

Fredrik · Apr 20th, 2008, 06:21 PM

In his first race of the season yesterday Fredrik Lestrup finished in a fine fourth position

Here is a link to his website (only in swedish, unfortuntely) and some piccies Fredrik has taken:
