For Marco Holzer (Bobingen/GER) a dream is about to come true. On November 23 the 18-year-old will be taking the BMW Sauber F1.06 out on a test drive at the Circuit de la Comunitat Valenciana Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, Spain. Holzer has been granted the day’s testing in Motorsports top chelon for winning the 2005 Formula BMW World Final in Bahrain.

This is where the world’s best drivers in the four international Formula BMW series pit their skills against one another and the young man from Bobingen in Bavaria came out on top against 34 competitors on the Bahrain International Circuit.

“This Formula One test is the greatest thing that could happen to me. Now it’s a question of preparing myself for the huge forces that come into play in a Formula One car,” says Holzer.

“Marco Holzer has furnished plenty of proof of his potential in Formula BMW Germany,” added Mario Theissen. “He has earned this test drive with his convincing victory in the 2005 Formula BMW World Final in Bahrain. For Marco this test is an opportunity to familiarize himself with the incredible dynamics of a Formula One vehicle.”

One person who knows how a Formula One test can boost your career prospects is Formula BMW graduate Sebastian Vettel…

“A test in a Formula One car shows a young driver the potential road ahead. The first fast lap is an experience you will never forget,” declared the BMW Sauber F1 Team’s Friday driver.

After Nico Rosberg (GER), Ho-Pin Tung (CHN) and Sebastian Vettel (GER), Marco Holzer will be the fourth Formula BMW graduate to test a BMW Formula One car.
