New Ford driver

By

Patrick Bernhardt will replace Thomas Klenke at the wheel of one of Hotfiel Sport’s Ford Focus cars for the final meeting in Macau.

Since the beginning of the season Bernhardt – 34 years old from Wetzlar, Germany – was one of the drivers who worked with the team to develop the Focus in Super 2000 specs, alongside Klenke and Michael Funke, who will be Bernhardt’s team-mate in Macau.

During his already long career, Bernhardt emerged as a race winner in different categories: Formula Ford, Formula 3 and Touring Cars. His best season was 2003, when he was classified second in the German Touring Car Challenge at the wheel of a Ford Focus ST170 run by Hotfiel Sport.
