MediaInfo Audi A4 DTM 2010

Foreword
Having marked its 100th anniversary with its third consecutive DTM win last year, there can only be one goal for Audi in 2010: for the fourth time in a row, the new DTM champion should be behind the wheel of an A4 DTM. It goes without saying that, together with the DTM, the committed car manufacturers are focusing on efficiency to achieve this goal. But something that does deserve to be mentioned explicitly is the fact that Audi has the potential to cut its costs by up to 30 per cent (not including accidentrelated repair costs) a feat which is unparalleled around the world. There will be no reduction in the excitement of the DTM, however, with this, the most illustrious touring car racing series there is, set to deliver top-notch motorsports action on ten occasions once again this year.

Audi in the 2010 DTM

Can Audi clinch its fourth consecutive title in the 2010 DTM?
Audi was involved in the DTM as a factory team from 1990 to 1992, and returned to the fold in 2004. It is now into its tenth season in Europes most popular touring car racing series. Over the years, the Audi team has won the DTM title no less than six times, not to mention a seventh title in the 2002 season together with the Abt Sportsline privateer team. Having made history last year by achieving a hattrick, Audi now intends to be behind this years champion for the fourth time in a row. To achieve this feat, Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich has put together the companys youngest ever team of DTM drivers. Eight of the nine drivers, which include the current champions Mattias Ekstrm and Timo Scheider, have been part of the Audi team before. The newcomer is the Spaniard Miguel Molina who, at 21 years of age, brings the drivers average age down to 27.5 years old ahead of the next season. The nine Audi A4 DTM being driven by the familiar teams Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, Audi Sport Team Phoenix and Audi Sport Team Rosberg are characterised by their excellent efficiency. A development freeze implemented in the DTM in August 2009 will by no means detract from the

thrills of top-class motorsport, but does have the potential to reduce the constructors costs by up to 30 percent (not including accident-related repair costs). Mike Rockenfeller and Alexandre Prmat for Audi Sport Team Phoenix and Katherine Legge and Markus Winkelhock for Audi Sport Team Rosberg will once again get behind the wheel of the 2008 model of the Audi A4 DTM, which is internally referred to as the R14. This model is also being prepared by Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline for their driver Miguel Molina, while its four other drivers, Timo Scheider, Oliver Jarvis, Mattias Ekstrm and Martin Tomczyk, will be driving the R14 plus model of 2009. The DTM has achieved something rather special by taking this step to reduce costs, emphasises Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. The technical regulations have remained essentially unchanged, so the underlying conditions have remained stable. It is therefore quite rare for so much potential to make savings to be initiated in topclass motorsport whilst nevertheless delivering the same high standards of sport as ever. Once again in the 2010 season, Europes most popular touring car racing series will comprise ten races between

April and October. Six of these will be hosted in Germany, with one each also in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK. The DTM is also gearing up for its second trip to China (the largest single foreign market for Audi) since 2004, with the 2010 final scheduled to take place on the streets of Shanghai. The DTM intends to continue its success story in its eleventh season since being relaunched in 2000 by offering the spectators affordable admission fees, giving fans direct access to the drivers paddock and the drivers themselves, and with all sorts of other attractive features that contribute to a comprehensive supporting programme. Last year, 718,000 fans at the venues and an average of 2.11million TV spectators in Germany watched Timo Scheider work his way to his second consecutive title win.

The 2010 DTM season is all about maximum

efficiency

and

significant potential for savings coupled with the same level of excitement as ever

Efficiency and sustainability

Technology transfer and efficiency for the direct benefit of the customers
Technology transfer, efficiency and sustainability these are more than merely buzzwords, and have been the mainstays of Audis motorsport programme for the past 30 years. For Audi, motorsport is and always has been a means with which to further technologies with a lot of promise for the future, Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich stresses. Ever since the eighties, quattro has stood for a whole lot more than merely a technical system. Audi put this four-wheel drive technology to the test in motorsport (both in rallying and in the DTM) and helped it on its way to its introduction into all model series, thus instigating a paradigm shift. Other manufacturers, such as Audis main competitors in todays premium segment, were forced to follow suit on witnessing the technological and economic success the technology brought Audi. By the end of 2009, Audi had made more than 3.2 million vehicles with quattro four-wheel drive, which is very fast and stable and therefore contributes to the safety offered by the vehicle. There have also been transfer effects in the field of materials technology which are still making an impact to this day. For example, back in 1983, Audi developed its first all-aluminium engine for its Audi Sport quattro. Today, lightweight construction is one of Audis core areas of expertise und aluminium is a valuable resource with which to improve the efficiency of production vehicles by reducing their weight. Aluminium is now an integral part of many Audi models, be it in the Audi Space Frame (ASF), chassis components, bodywork elements or in all sorts of other

A wide array of

technologies

designed to boost efficiency have been transposed from motorsport to mass production by Audi

Lightweight construction such as the aluminium ASF in the R8 is a core area of Audi expertise

applications. Even carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), which was a highly unusual material used in racing cars such as the Audi 200 quattro in the eighties, is now regularly used in Audi production vehicles, for example in the soft top compartment of the R8 Spyder. The debut of the TFSI engine in the Audi R8 sports car in Le Mans and its first victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2001 paved the way for the introduction of petrol direct injection into mass production. To this day, millions of vehicles on the road are helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions because they make substantial fuel savings with this technology. Starting in 1989, Audi began to revolutionise the construction of engines for mass production with TDI

technology, a top-class, high-performance and especially clean form of diesel direct injection that contributes greatly to reducing CO2 emissions. And in 2006, Audi made history with this technology in Le Mans, becoming the first automobile manufacturer in the world to win the 24-hour race with a diesel engine. Extreme injection pressures of 2,000 bar, the development of injector technology, and fundamental construction-related findings are just some of the areas in which direct technology transfers between mass production and motorsport have paid off. In addition, Audi has implemented specific measures to protect the environment with the help of its partners: light, highperformance diesel particulate filters made by Dow, which were subsequently made available to end users a few years further down the line, and extra clean GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels and fuels with BTL (biomass-to-liquid) proportions have made a direct and considerable contribution to environmental protection.

The famous quattro four-wheel drive was developed for motorsport and is now also standard in series production models

Audi Sport

30 years of success
Audi Sport was founded 30 years ago and is affiliated to Audis Technical Development (TE) division under the auspices of Board Member Michael Dick. The division has celebrated victories and won numerous titles around the world in all the disciplines it has entered, be it in relation to rallying, touring cars of any kind or sports cars. Audi has realised 16 different racing projects since 1980 and the division currently counts some 200 employees involved in the research and development of racing cars at its sites in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Qualified mechanical engineer Dr Wolfgang Ullrich has been the head of Audi Sport since 1993. Three pillars of motorsport Audi has been involved in sports car racing since the 1999 season and, with eight Le Mans victories under its belt, is once again rising to the biggest endurance racing challenges around in the 2010 season, with its advanced R15 TDI. Audi has also been involved in the DTM since 2004, in which it has won four titles in six years, including a hat-trick between 2007 and 2009. The automobile manufacturer then established a third pillar in the 2009 season with the Audi R8 LMS, its first ready-to-run privateer racing car, which won three titles in its debut season as well as 23 out of 76 races. A dedicated privateer centre was inaugurated in Ingolstadt in the spring of 2010 in order to secure supplies for 30 privateer vehicles delivered around the world, with all the teams benefiting from the companys international logistics structure for the delivery of spare parts.

Audi A4 DTM (R14 plus)

An extraordinary season for an unbeaten concept

After two DTM title wins, the Audi A4 DTM comprising the R14 and R14 plus model generations (2008 and 2009 respectively) remains unbeaten and will line up to compete again in 2010. But this time, it will be without the usual technological advances, as a result of the development freeze imposed on all the DTM manufacturers. The technological development of the vehicles has been all but entirely prohibited since 17 August 2009, with a view to maximising the series economic efficiency. This also applies to the engines, which were sealed for the entire season at the beginning of 2009. One final detail, namely the choice of dampers, was codified on 1 March 2010. Audi has three aerodynamic configurations that were developed prior to the introduction of the development freeze, each of which

Audi uses both the R14 (left) and the R14 plus (right) version in the 2010 season

is used depending on the racetrack in question. As far as chassis kinematics are concerned, only the camber, toe and vehicle height may now be adjusted. The usual computergenerated simulations are therefore now only of limited use and Audi now focuses its testing activities on the optimum use of Dunlop tyres. In order to ascertain whether the manufacturers are complying with the new regulations, each manufacturer has been required by the German Motorsport Federation (DMSB) to put together a set of reference parts in a discrete sealed container provided by the DMSB, which is then taken to every race. The DMSB has also been furnished with CAD records of the vehicles construction. The stipulated minimum weight of the 2009 vehicles remains unchanged at 1,050 kilograms including the driver, while the regulations prescribe that the 2008 models must each weigh at least 1,025 kilograms. The rule stipulating that the ballast weight is dependent on the vehicles previous rankings no longer applies this year. Together, all of the framework conditions promise to deliver one thing above all, and that is the same level of thrilling sport as ever coupled with substantial budget relief. Because in addition to reducing development costs, there is now no

12 13 longer any need to create a new generation of vehicles (usually four) every season. Mattias Ekstrm, Martin Tomczyk, Markus Winkelhock and Alexandre Prmat will all be using the same racing cars as in 2009. Mike Rockenfeller will take to the wheel of Oliver Jarviss former car, while Oliver Jarvis inherits Tom Kristensens car. DTM newcomer Miguel Molina will drive the A4 used by Katherine Legge from Great Britain last year, as she takes control of the vehicle vacated by Mike Rockenfeller. Defending champion Timo Scheider will drive an A4 DTM with the chassis number R14 plus 606. Sizeable savings are also being achieved in the field of engine construction, as two vehicles will once again share a maximum of three engines between them for the duration of the season. Audi will tackle the 2010 season with reworked versions of the approximately 340-kilowatt V8 engine, as long as this fits in with the engines respective maintenance schedules. Consequently, no entirely new engines are being built this year. This all ultimately means that the fans will see the same attractive racing cars as last year while the development budget is markedly relieved.
Audi A4 DTM (R14 plus)

Audi is anticipating major savings potential for the 2010 season as a whole, with a reduction of up to 30 per cent in the cost of fielding the nine Audi A4 DTM (not including accident-related repair costs). The development freeze marks a hiatus in an impressive development process which has seen Audi achieve some major improvements in efficiency between the first generation of the Audi A4 DTM the R11 in 2004 and the most recent R14 plus. For example, the basic vehicle weight not including ballast weight has been reduced by more than 20 per cent, while the torsional rigidity has remained unchanged. The vehicles centre of gravity has been lowered by more than 10 per cent and the aerodynamic efficiency the ratio of drag to downforce has been improved by the developers by more than 20 per cent. The Audi A4 DTM has never been more efficient.

Nine Europeans under the sign of the four rings

Audi will tackle the 2010 DTM season with three teams comprising a highly attractive, charming and sportingly impressive squad of drivers. Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, which is based in Kempten in the Allgu region, will be represented by champions Mattias Ekstrm and Timo Scheider, who have won four titles for Audi between them in the past six years. This includes a hat-trick in 2007 (Mattias Ekstrm), 2008 and 2009 (both Timo Scheider). Abt Sportsline will also be entering Martin Tomczyk and the newly promoted Oliver Jarvis, who will take charge of a 2009 Audi A4 DTM for the first time as he takes Tom Kristensens former place. The fifth and final member of the Abt Sportsline team is rookie Miguel Molina of Spain. Markus Winkelhock and Katherine Legge, both of whom are with Audi for their third season, will be lining up for Audi Sport Team Rosberg based in Neustadt an der Weinstrae. Teammates Alexandre Prmat and Mike Rockenfeller will be reunited under the auspices of Audi Sport Team Phoenix. The two of them won the Le Mans Series for Audi in 2008 in an R10 TDI sports car and, like Oliver Jarvis, have both also previously made it onto the winners rostrum in the DTM in year-old cars. Alexandre Prmat, who has also driven as a sports car pilot for Audi in the past, is focusing entirely on the DTM this year. Audi is the first automobile manufacturer in the history of the DTM, which started in 1984, to have won the title three years running. And it intends to further its success story in the 2010 season. To achieve this ambitious goal, it is relying on the youngest Audi DTM squad ever, with an average age of 27.5 years.

Audi factory driver Mattias Ekstrm (S)

To put it in a nutshell, Mattias Ekstrm of Sweden is the most successful Audi DTM driver in the 20 years since the brand first got involved in the DTM. He has been racing in the DTM for the Abt Sportsline team since 2001 and has been an Audi factory driver since 2004. He has since garnered 13 race victories and two titles, which is more than any other Audi driver. He is also highly versatile, as demonstrated by his having once again beaten Michael Schumacher in the Race of Champions at the end of 2009, just like he did two years before. Central Europe is more than just a sporting home for Mattias he now also lives there, in Salenstein in Switzerland, by Lake Constance.

The DTM is not only a very tough top-class international racing series, it is also predominantly a mans world. So it speaks in Katherine Legges favour that she is participating in the DTM for the third year running. After an apprenticeship in 2008, she proved her mettle in the 2009 season with Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, taking all the men by surprise with position five on the grid and the fastest lap on the Norisring. She is the most successful woman so far to have competed in the new DTM initiated in 2000. Katherine, who hails from the UK but now lives Switzerland, will be racing for Audi Sport Team Rosberg alongside Markus Winkelhock in the 2010 season.

Miguel Molina of Catalonia, Spain, can claim to be special in several ways: he is the first Spaniard to compete in the DTM and, at 21 years of age, is also the youngest driver in Audis 2010 squad. He took part in a DTM test for Audi in the 2008 season and performed impressively, but was still very young at just 18. He was tested again last year and was able to reconfirm the good impression he had made the year before. Miguel, who lives in the Mediterranean coastal town of Lloret de Mar in northern Spain, will drive a 2008 A4 DTM for Audi Sport Rookie Team Abt this year.

The Audi drivers

Audi factory driver Timo Scheider (D)

Timo Scheider is riding on the crest of a wave, having successfully defended his DTM title in the 2009 season. Only one other driver has achieved this since the DTM was launched in 1984. Whats more, his 2009 win as an Audi factory driver completed a hat-trick for the brand, which remains unbeaten since 2007 in Europes most popular touring car racing series. It goes without saying that, like his Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline colleague, Timo would like nothing better than to win the title again in 2010. He lives in Lochau, Austria.

Audi factory driver Martin Tomczyk (D)

Martin Tomczyk starts his tenth DTM season in the peak of physical fitness. The Audi factory driver, who grew up in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim, was one of 20 sports personalities and famous faces to take part in a decathlon in Canada, enduring temperatures as low as 56 C before spending a holiday in the Maldives where it was 75 degrees hotter. He had a private week of training in Switzerland in February before attending the Audi winter camp for a week soon after. While his weight has fallen by six kilos, his aggressiveness has only increased. Martin recharges his batteries in Switzerland in his spare time. He lives in the north-west of Switzerland, in Aesch near Basel.

This is Markus Winkelhocks third season as an Audi factory driver in the DTM. Last year, the cheerful Swabian from Berglen-Steinach to the north-east of Stuttgart came tenth overall and was the second-best Audi driver of a year-old car. He was also one of an Audi quartet at the front of the pack on two occasions at the opening race in Hockenheim and again at the Nrburgring. And this year, he wants to go even further and hopes to be the fastest used car driver on the grid. He is a professional racing driver for Audi Sport Team Rosberg and has a new DTM colleague, Katherine Legge, in the 2010 season.

Audi Sport Team Phoenix is one of the three Audi factory-backed teams in the 2010 DTM season. The company, which has appeared as a factory team in the DTM every year since 2000, has its headquarters on the Meuspath industrial estate directly adjacent to the Nrburgring, in the Eifel. Approximately 20 employees overseen by Team Director Ernst Moser attend to the Audi A4 DTM cars driven by Alexandre Prmat and Mike Rockenfeller at the DTM races. The Phoenix team started off with two Audi A4 quattro cars competing in the STW in 1999, the year it was founded. Alongside its DTM involvement, the team also entered the 24-hour race at the Nrburgring and won the event twice, in 2000 and 2003. Last year, Phoenix celebrated its tenth anniversary and won two major titles with the Audi R8 LMS, coming through ahead of the rest in the FIA GT3 European Championship and in the Belgian GT3 Championship.

Audi Sport Team Rosberg

1982 Formula 1 champion Keke Rosberg established a racing team of his own at the end of 1994, which has gone on to make a name for itself in touring car and formula racing. Its most outstanding achievements include its victory in the German Formula3 Championship of 2002 with Gary Paffett, while Kekes son, Nico, started his career in motorsport with the Rosberg team before becoming a regular on the Formula 1 circuit. The team was regularly involved in the old DTM in the 90s, with drivers such as Klaus Ludwig and Hans Stuck, and has participated in the new DTM right from the start. In 2005, the team turned its attentions entirely to formula racing, but returned to the DTM fold as an Audi factory team in 2006. Since 2009, it has also engaged in endurance racing with an Audi R8 LMS. Audi Sport Team Rosberg has 24 employees for the DTM in 2010. The team is based in Neustadt an der Weinstrae and is managed by Arno Zensen.

The DTM

Eleventh season even less cost-intensive

In its eleventh outing since its relaunch in 2000, the DTM will once again offer a fascinating mix this year: two premium car brands with six teams, established racing drivers of international renown and up-and-coming youngsters, and high tech combined with cost control all add up to excellent and accessible sport. Because as professional as it has become, the racing series has never turned its back on its roots stretching back to 1984, to which it can attribute its huge fan base. The spectators are, always have been and always will be an integral part of the series success story, so week after week they are given the opportunity to experience motorsport hands-on thanks to very fair admission prices, autograph sessions, an open drivers paddock and a pit walk for an up-close view of the teams. 2010 DTM costs lowered even further The DTM introduced a moratorium on further technological

developments and on new racing car generations in 2009, thus demonstrating that it is able to react to the restrictions engendered by a difficult economic situation both quickly and efficiently. This development freeze remains in place for the 2010 season too, but the event nevertheless promises to be as good and as thrilling as ever with cars from 2008 and 2009. Increasingly international For some time now, the DTM has been able to boast an international squad of drivers and an attractive European calendar of events. And this year, it is going one step further in addition to six races in Germany and three elsewhere in Europe (in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK), for the second time in its history, the DTM will be venturing further afield to Shanghai, where the DTM final is scheduled to take place on 31 October 2010. Impressive media numbers and a strong advertising effect The DTM concept is very well received, as borne out by these figures: the races were attended by no less than 718,000 fans last year and the events TV partner, the German channel ARD, recorded average viewer numbers of 2.11million during qualifying sessions and the event races.

Mike Rockenfeller Driving at Hockenheim is always a great feeling. And when the season gets underway, everyone obviously wants to know how they are ranked. This is traditionally a strong venue and competing in front of a full-capacity audience is always a real thrill for a professional racing driver. The set-up of a racing car at Hockenheim requires a degree of compromise. It takes a very stable car to take corners at high speeds such as on the first corner, when entering the Motodrom section and when negotiating the last two corners. On the other hand, you need very good mechanical grip to get round the very tight corners such as the Spitzkehre hairpin bend. The best opportunities to overtake are just after the Parabolika section and two corners later in the tight left-hand bend. All winners since 2000

Miguel Molina Driving in Valencia is quite something firstly because it is obviously the first time the DTM has come here and secondly because, being Spanish, its like a home game for me. So far, I have made it onto the winners rostrum twice in a junior Formula series. This racetrack is basically neither especially slow nor fast. There are some very tight places, of course, such as the second corner, but there are also plenty of fast bends. The most unusual thing is undoubtedly the fact that this racetrack is anticlockwise, in comparison to most racetracks, which are clockwise. This is an excellent track for spectators, because you can see pretty much all of the track from anywhere in the grandstands.

Mattias Ekstrm I have always felt very comfortable as a driver on the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, where I first made it onto the DTM rostrum with the Abt-Audi TT-R in the 2001 season. I am well suited to a lot of combined corners. This racetrack is different to many others in that the track surface is very even. But it offers less grip than other tracks. I think the most impressive thing is the main grandstand, and seeing lots of people in the grandstand on a summers day is a real thrill. I won at Lausitz back in 2005 and I would love to battle it out to clinch the top step of the rostrum once again this year.

Katherine Legge I really came to like the Norisring when I qualified to start from fifth position on the grid last year. It was more than just one good result I was already in 6th place in the second qualifying session, a mere 23 hundredths of a second away from pole position. I then came eighth in the third qualifying session to secure myself fifth position on the starting grid. I didnt get off to such a good start in the race, but I did achieve a personal best by performing the fastest lap. The racetrack looks very easy but it isnt. The car needs to be set-up for good traction out of the tight corners coupled with unfettered speed down the straights. The extreme layout of this street circuit is unique, as is its very special atmosphere.

Martin Tomczyk I feel very comfortable on the Nrburgring and have a great time there as demonstrated by my two wins there in 2007 and 2009. I was also out in front in every qualifying session last year, so I am obviously feeling good about returning to this circuit. It doesnt feature one specific make-or-break section, so a good result at the Nrburgring is partly down to driving it with a very fluid rhythm. Overtaking is easiest at the end of the long straight past the start/finish by the arena or after the back straights just before the chicane. This circuit is also great fun in the rain two years ago, we performed the qualifying sessions in torrential rain.

Alexandre Prmat I am particularly fond of Zandvoort and think it is one of the nicest circuits in motorsport. Obviously, its amazing to drive through the dunes, just a stones throw from the sea. The sensations are even more intense in the cockpit here, partly because of the setting and also because of the track layout. The area is hilly and so is the circuit, and there are some spectacular bends. In some places, we can reach speeds of between 200 and 220 km/h. The Audi A4 DTM has always been a strong performer in Zandvoort thanks to its good aerodynamics. And year-old cars have had very good chances of doing well in recent years too. Zandvoort is also a great venue for the fans, as the main grandstand gives them an excellent view of the goings-on in the pit lane and in the first corner. All winners since 2001

Oliver Jarvis Brands Hatch is a fascinating circuit with a lot of tradition. Although the Indycar circuit is very short, I would still say it was a very difficult one. It only takes the smallest mistake in the qualifying sessions to drop back a number of starting positions, because the time differentials are so minute. My favourite section is Paddock Hill Bend, which is one of the best and most challenging corners around. How you come out of the bend is also crucial, so that you can really put your foot down up to Druids Bend. This is the most important section for overtaking manoeuvres. What makes Brands Hatch so special is that the spectators in the grandstands above Brabham Straight can see the entire circuit and therefore dont miss a thing.

Timo Scheider After winning here twice in a row, I have a very special relationship with Oschersleben. The entire circuit gives me a positive feeling and I always get into a good rhythm there. The triple-left bend is an especially fast section. The kerb in the first corner is tough on the cars, as is the fast chicane ahead of the back straight. The perimeter walls are closer to the track in Oschersleben than on other circuits, but I like circuits that dont let you make any mistakes. My tip for the spectators is to go to the grandstand on the chicane ahead of the back straight, because its a spectacular section and it lets you see the cars for a long time, right from the first corner. A characteristic feature is the long pit stop approach. The whole pit stop therefore takes a lot longer here than at other tracks. All winners since 2000

Markus Winkelhock Racing at Hockenheim is like coming home for me, as I only live 120 kilometres away. The circuit layout has always suited me well. There are two or three spots where you can overtake: up to the Spitzkehre hairpin bend, in the next bend and sometimes in the Motodrom section too. We have a lot of data for the Audi A4 DTM in Hockenheim as we used to test them there and we also compete in two DTM races there every year. The first bend after the start/finish is slightly tricky as there is a red mark you are not allowed to drive over. The views for the spectators have always been impressive, and thats something we even notice as drivers. When my uncle Jockel used to participate in the DTM, I liked to sit in the grandstand on the Sachs bend, and this is still one of the best spots for spectators on this circuit.

Mattias Ekstrm The DTM last came to Shanghai in 2004, and I secured third place for Audi in an Audi A4 DTM back then. I really liked racing on this street circuit and I am delighted that we are going back to China. We dont yet have any details about the new circuit, so I cant really say much about what we can expect there. But one things for sure: a DTM final on a street circuit is bound to be an exciting affair.

History: Audi in the DTM

30 years of success
Audi Sport has been making history for 30 years and the four rings stand for a string of individual victories and championship titles in rallying, Le Mans and touring car racing. The success story of Audi in the DTM began precisely 20 years ago with the Audi V8 quattro. Championship win in its debut year Audi joined the DTM in 1990 with just a single V8 quattro and demonstrated its Vorsprung durch Technik straight off, as Hans-Joachim Stuck clinched the title with the help of the saloons outstanding quattro four-wheel drive and its 309kW V8 engine. There was then a repeat performance

Audi won the DTM two years running, in 1990 and 1991, with the V8 quattro

There have been no less than

seven wins for drivers

participating in the DTM under the sign of the four rings

from Audi one year later, as the newly signed Frank Biela won the DTM in his first year with Audi. Championship win with a privateer Audi withdrew from the DTM for a while in the 1992 season and it wasnt until 2000 that the Abt Sportsline team took the initiative to participate in the DTM as an Audi privateer team. Laurent Aiello promptly won the title in 2002 in the Abt-Audi TT-R. Audi returns to steal the show The Audi factory-backed team returned to the DTM fold in 2004 with the Audi A4 DTM and went on to rack up an impressive score against Mercedes-Benz over the next six years, clinching the title no less than four times, with two wins each for Mattias Ekstrm and Timo Scheider. Overall, Audi has achieved seven championship wins and 52 race victories since 1990 and is now ranked second in the list of winners in the history of the event.

The pretenders to the throne have set their sights on Timo Scheider, the number one driver with two consecutive wins under his belt
