| Nick Heidfeld |
Nick Heidfeld a.k.a "Quick Nick" is a household name to motorsport fans worldwide thanks to his success in Formula 1. Currently Heidfeld drives in Formula E for Mahindra and is also on the Rebellion Racing team in endurance racing. From 2000 to 2011, he sat in the Formula 1 cockpits of Sauber Petronas, BMW Williams, BMW Sauber and Lotus Renault. Heidfeld's enthusiasm for motorsport and driving in general, as well as his deep knowledge of the technology, meant that it was an easy decision for RaceChip to work with him.
"We are delighted that we have successfully convinced Nick Heidfeld, who's an expert in motorsport, of the quality and performance potential of our products", said Dominic Ruopp, CEO of RaceChip. "The involvement of an internationally successful racing driver is a great confirmation of the quality and safety of our products and our work", continued Ruopp. In the course of the discussions, Heidfeld extensively tested RaceChip's chip tuning modules. "First of all, I wanted to get my own picture of the installation, handling and driving experience. I was already excited after the first test drive. It's really impressive what a great company has emerged here in recent years. I'm happy to be working with the team and I'm looking forward to what we will achieve together", continued Heidfeld.
In addition to his participation in RaceChip's advertising and marketing activities, Heidfeld will be involved in RaceChip product development and will take on an active advisory role. Heidfeld will also share his comprehensive technical understanding with everyone interested in chip tuning and in RaceChip in particular. He will provide information and answer the most important questions about RaceChip products.
RaceChip has long had an active presence outside of Europe and has found much success with its products worldwide. Heidfeld will also play a role in China, a very important market for the German chip tuning experts. Heidfeld enjoys great popularity throughout Asia.

In the international market, they feature the English "Simply faster".
Once Heidfeld's cooperation with RaceChip starts, he will be featured on the RaceChip website, in advertising materials and in RaceChip's current video commercial.

Next up on the schedule are videos about the chip tuning function and its installation. Nick Heidfeld and RaceChip don't only want to make the brand and products more familiar and more accessible to a larger number of target groups; they also want to help customers better understand the function and quality of these technically complex products.
