They make the DTM the fastest one ever since its inception in 1984. At the same time, the series – just like Formula E in the field of electric mobility – has received an intensified reference to production development. “Internal combustion engines will continue to be widely used on our roads also in the coming years,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dieter Gass.
