Hockenheim is expecting a full house of 85,000 spectators on race-day for the forthcoming German grand prix.
The German circuit is to host a major formula one test this week, before the circus reconvenes next weekend for the beginning of the second half of this year’s 18-race calendar.
“At the moment we have sold 65,000 tickets. The second place of Nick Heidfeld (at Silverstone) gives us another boost,” Jorn Teske, the Hockenheimring’s marketing boss, told the news agency SID on Monday.
The three-day Hockenheim test begins on Tuesday.
