DTM: Audi has new ambitions

Dominated by Mercedes Last year, Audi hopes to reverse the trend from the first race of the season, which will be held next week (May 1) on the Hockenheim circuit.

?The season opener at Hockenheim is always a very special weekend for the whole team, says Wolfgang Ullrich, head of Audi Motorsport. After last year, where we did not have as much success as we hoped, we want to show from the opening round that we will be in the running for the championship. Everyone is determined to give everything they have. »

This season, nine drivers will wear Audi colors: Timo Scheider, Oliver Jarvis, Mattias Ekström, Mike Rockenfeller, Martin Tomczyk, Rahel Frey, Filipe Albuquerque, Edoardo Mortara and Miguel Molina. “ We are running with a reinforced team, notes Dr. Ullrich. It includes very strong new drivers and each of them has the ability to win races. Fans can expect a very exciting season. With ten rounds, there is no time to lose. The first weekend is already very important. »
