The Hockenheimring is a FIA Formula One racing circuit located in the Rhine valley and originally built in 1932 using roads situated in a forest near the town of Hockenheim in Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany. It hosted it’s first German Grand Prix Formula 1 race in 1970.

In a weekend that will feature 3 races, Richert is looking to end the season off in a positive fashion. “Being able to do my first full season in the Renault NEC championship has been excellent and I have really learned a lot,” said Richert. “Hockenheim is one of the race circuits that I have been able to gain a lot of experience at, so I’m looking forward to this weekend.”

This weekend’s races will be streamed live (outside Germany) with English commentary on YouTube at www.formularenault.tv.  In Germany, live images with German commentary can be seen on www.renault-sport.de.
