Jessica Bäckman is ready for the season finale at Hockenheimring

October 21st–23rd it’s time for the season finale in ADAC TCR Germany at the Hockenheimring track in Germany. The Sweden National Team driver Jessica Bäckman is ready for the final race and aims high.
- Hockenheim is my favorite track on the calendar, it has all kinds of corners and the race is usually exciting there. I will enjoy every lap I get in the car this weekend and of course aim to end the season the same way I started, with a victory, Jessica Bäckman says.

The 2022 ADAC TCR Germany season consists of five rounds in Germany and two rounds in Austria. The series is one of the toughest TCR series in the world and has a high status for the drivers who come from several different countries around Europe. The season started at the Oschersleben track in Germany where Jessica took her first win of the season, and will end next weekend at the well-known Formula 1 track Hockenheimring in Germany.

Jessica competes just like at the Sachsenring round together with the Belgian Comtoyou team in her Audi RS 3 LMS car and is currently placed in second place in the drivers' championship ahead of the season finale.

- I am looking forward to drive again at Hockenheim, the last time I drove there was in 2019 in TCR Europe and TCR Germany and it went well both times. Now I hope for another good weekend with good speed right from the start. Then I will do everything I can to end a very successful season on top, Jessica Bäckman says.
