Team Schrick
The fitness trap
S1 • E2 May 10, 2009 45m
Work on Tim's car is progressing. With the help of Darius, a longtime friend and engine builder, Tim removes the engine and transmission from the secondhand Aston Martin V8 Vantage.
These stock components won't be found on the final race car. Darius created a 3D-model of the car to ensure a millimeter-perfect fit later on.
Uncle Funny is worried about Tim's fitness. He insists that Tim completes a cardiac stress test. The test reveals that Funny has a point.
Tim's physical condition is worrying. He has to get in shape or there's no way he will be able to withstand the 2-hour stints in the cockpit.
Uncle Funny gets Jörg van Ommen on board to whip Tim back into shape. The former DTM driver will be the second driver for the team and take care of Tim's fitness problem.
Jörg designs a very personal fitness test on the Nordschleife, Tim has to master the steep track with a bicycle instead of a race car.
A task that takes Tim to his limit and shows how far his physical condition has to improve for his dream to become a reality.
