Tim Bergmeister

Tim Bergmeister is one of those quietly serious racers who let the stopwatch do the talking. Born in 1975 in Langenfeld, the son of racer Willi Bergmeister and older brother of racer Jörg Bergmeister, he carries the kind of unglamorous craftsmanship I genuinely admire. He broke ribs in a crash into the guardrail at Fuji in the 2012 Super GT season and was back in Super GT in 2014, the mark of a driver who keeps coming back. I find myself rooting for the journeyman, the man who keeps lapping long after the cameras lose interest. Germany breeds drivers who respect the machine, and I suspect Bergmeister treats his with the seriousness of a true professional.
