“Going after the title at the start of a new era for the DTM is something that motivates me a lot”, explains the outgoing double vice-champion, who will have the young American Dev Gore as his teammate.
This one arrives from the Euroformula Open and the Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup. A crew that satisfies Kimmo Liimatainen, the team's General Manager. “Behind us are exhausting weeks and months during which we worked on our realignment (for DTM). It is appropriate to continue to be linked to Audi Sport in customer competition. When I was able to inform our team that Nico Müller was coming back, it was a very special moment and the joy was enormous. This once again underlines our ambitions to fight for the title with a strong team. »
