Hoffmann was a talented driver whose career was laid waste by a disastrous spell in the Fittipaldi brothers' Copersucar team.

A top Super Vee and saloon car driver in his native Brazil, Ingo came to Britain in 1975 and contested the Formula 3 series in a March, before his move into Grands Prix with Fittipaldi. With the team beset by all sorts of problems, Hoffmann's difficulties were inevitably very much secondary to those of the team leader and after just two races of the 1977 season the second car was withdrawn, leaving the unhappy Ingo to concentrate on a programme of Formula 2 for Project Four with a Ralt.

Although outright success eluded him in this class, he proved to be a very quick and tough competitor, and produced some great performances - particularly in 1978, his last season in Europe, in the Project Four March. It is a shame that a second Grand Prix chance did not come the Brazilian's way, but since his return home he has become an eight-times winner in the Brazilian stock car championship with more than forty wins to his name.

In recent years he has successfully shared a BMW with Nelson Piquet in long-distance touring car events and still competes in the SudAm Super Touring championship with a BMW 320i, finishing third overall in the 1998 series.
