Die Bosch Hockenheim Historic 2018 fand vom 20. bis 22. April 2018 statt und bot Rennen und Demonstrationsläufe von rund einem Dutzend Serien und Vereinigungen.

Gewidmet ist die Veranstaltung dem legendären Jim Clark, der vor 50 Jahren auf dem Hockenheimring den Rennfahrertod starb.
Mit dieser Bildergeschichte wird an den schnellen Schotten erinnert, aber auch humorvoll auf andere Besonderheiten der Hockenheim Historic 2018 aufmerksam gemacht.
