just another day in the office. Pretty cool for the fans to not only get to see their favorite driver but get a ride along as well. I guess you could say thats the same as getting to play 9 holes or hitting golf balls with Tiger Woods, def cool

Very cool. That's how you build life long fans. It's one area a lot of upper level sports miss the mark. They isolate the stars from the people too much.

Pretty cool. It is important to take care of fans. Then they will take care of him. Like this lady "fan" showing her appreciation to Bruno after he won the DTM Championship at Hockenheim....and his actual ride.

Nice!

The best part of the video is the smile on Bruno's face. It is great to see professional drivers getting a bit of joy out of what they do for a living.

To download the 1920 resolution versions, click on the image and then click on "options" below the image, then "download"
