The programme of the fifth Great Run contained the shows of three fromer Formula-1 drivers: the only Hungarian driver who ever scored a point, Zsolt Baumgartner, the Austrian Karl Wendlinger and also Timo Glock, who is a driver of the German Touring Car Championship (DTM) at present. The German driver mentioned at the press conference preceding the event that organizing such a festival is praiseworthy, because he could hardly imagine a show like this in any other parts of the world including Germany.
