February 28 ,1953 ) is a formerracing driver from São Paulo,Brazil . He participated in sixFormula One Grands Prix, debuting onJanuary 25 ,1976 . He scored no championship points.Hoffman's Formula One career was hindered by the financial problems of the Fittipaldi team. Hoffman drove the team's second car when realistically the team could only afford to run one car. This meant Hoffman only entered certain selected races, and ultimately the second car was dropped altogether.
After Formula One, Hoffman competed strongly in
Formula 2 , and also in sports cars and saloon cars both in Europe and in South America. Notably, Ingo Hoffman has won the Brazilian Stock Car Championship 12 times (1980, 1985, 1989-1994, 1996-1998 and 2002). In 2006 December, he took his 100th win (of the races in the Brazilian circuits) at the Autódromo Internacional Nelson Piquet de Brasília, final race of the 2006 season.Complete Formula One results
