Dr. Ullrich ready for three-way battle

Le DTM is a significant discipline for the brand with the rings. This year, Dr Ullrich participated in the development of new regulations which saw the entry into force of standard components for all teams playing in this series. “The DTM is a very important championship for us”, explains Dr. Ullrich. “This championship corresponds to our German market, because the cars are very close to the production cars. Our successes in DTM are directly reflected in the sporting image of the brand. Which is positive in general. »

As for the competition itself, the German boss knows that the fight will be close this season. “The arrival of BMW is a huge opportunity for the DTM. I personally think it will help this series become the best touring car competition in the world. Our objective will obviously be to defend our title. For that, we will already have to see how our new A5 behaves. However, I have no doubt that the fight will be much closer than in the past. But with our drivers and our eight vehicles, I am sure we have a good chance of continuing our momentum. »
