DTM Champion 2008 Timo Scheider (edited report)

The title fight in the 2008 DTM season is decided at Hockenheim (25/26 October). Audi Champion Timo Scheider went to the race with a two-point advantage over Paul di Resta and made his big dream of winning the title come true as well as becoming the first German champion of the new DTM alongside record champion Bernd Schneider.

We accompanied the DTM Champion during his leisure time, at home with his family as well as during spectacular sporting activities and football training with Ailton.

Timo in the Mountains

Cheerful by nature, it's not only in the DTM that Timo aims high: today it's the call of the mountain – a fixed-rope climb in the Montafon valley in Vorarlberg. Simply switching off and yet still active.

Timo Scheider and Football

Timo Scheider playing soccer with Austrian 1. League SC Rheindorf Altach. The top Austrian football team invited him along for a trial. Two goals in the first four minutes: hats off! Perhaps it was down to the tips from team-mate and striker Ailton.

Timo Scheider and his Family

The race Champion at home with son Loris and girlfriend Jasmin cooking. The two boys get a bit of help from head chef Jasmin. They generally cook in sporting fashion as a threesome: pasta in all its variations.
