"We would like to thank you specifically for your inspiring and impressive presentation.

We know that you attend a large number of events every year in addition to your motorsport career. We were all the more pleased that your presentation was not characterized by routine, but was rather geared to our company, the festive occasion and the competition runs through our veins.

For this, our heartfelt thanks."

Georg Schneider - LeasePlan Deutschland GmbH

Ms. Lohr's presentation was a complete success for me, our management and the entire meeting. Ms. Lohr as a very sympathetic woman was already with us at dinner the day before and there was a relaxed and great exchange. The lecture on the main day was then as expected very good, Mrs. Lohr had prepared as discussed a mixture from motor sport experience with the future of the automobile and went thereby also still on Business aspects (team, communication). All listeners were under her spell and it can confidently be called the highlight of the day. I can only recommend Ms. Lohr and would definitely engage her again if the opportunity arose.

"150 left 4 minus" - communication, the pilar of success

„You cannot not communicate“. When it comes to motor sports, this well-known phrase by Paul Watzlawick gets a totally new meaning. Imagine yourself sitting in a race car, driving through Peru on the challenging Rallye Dakar and your co-pilot is everything but clear in his communication.

No pit crew - no title motivation&team-building in companies and racing

Every success in motor sports is a team effort. However, the audience in general only pays homage to the winner on the podium. Ellen Lohr experienced this phenomenon herself: in countless races, she has won many titles and celebrated her biggest triumph when, in 1992 she was the first and only woman to win a race in the German Touring Car Championship DTM.

Profile

Ellen Lohr began her motor racing career at the age of 14 years with kart racing. Motivated, ambitious and full of enthusiasm, it went from there rapidly towards Formula Ford, where she was the first woman to win the German championship in 1987. A year later, she turned to Formula 3, where she met the great men of motor racing such as Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher, Heinz-Harald Frentzen and Karl Wendlinger. Anything but a simple generation of motorsport!

From 1991-97 she worked for Mercedes Benz and was an integral part of the DTM. In 2004, the dynamic keynote speaker found a new fascination in the off-road motorsport. As a driver and team manager, she has participated nine times in the world's toughest rally, the Dakar Rally. At last she accompanied the rallye on a press car and supplied fans all over the world with in-depth commentary and background material in a (video) blog.

In 2013 Ellen Lohr returned to her old love again and participates in the European Truck Race Championship. In most of all races she plans to broadcast live from the cockpit to the web. Since she has worked as a commentator of the DTM for the German Television ARD for 5 years, Ellen Lohr can adjust well to live situations.

Her experience and her deep insider knowledge about motorsport, the future of the automobile and the latest techniques help her to become an extraordinary keynote speaker. Her lectures are engaging and inspire the audiences. The need for accurate communication and the constant overcoming of one's own limits are among the topics of her lectures. Ellen Lohr demonstrates the motivation and the will to win, which is needed to run a race like the Dakar Rally. Her lectures are illustrated with stunning photos from the world of motorsports from all over the world.

Ellen Lohr attaches great importance to adjust her lectures always to the respective customer and she can also be requested for lectures on other topics around communication, team, motivation, technique and motorsport.
