70Th Victory for Team ABT Sportsline in the DTM
ABT Sportsline 2021 – Press Release Week 33 70th victory for Team ABT Sportsline in the DTM Kelvin van der Linde has given Team ABT Sportsline its 70th victory in the DTM. Following his victories at Monza and Zolder, the championship leader also won Saturday’s race at the Nürburgring. After the first half of the season, the South African, who lives near Kempten, has a 33-point lead in the drivers’ championship. In the teams’ championship, ABT Sportsline is also at the top of the table after the first half of the 2021 DTM season. Saturday was a picture-perfect day for ABT Sportsline: Kelvin van der Linde secured pole position for the third time this season with a perfect qualifying lap and then celebrated a commanding victory. On the way, he only had to shake twice when late stoppers Timo Glock and Alex Albon put up a massive fight against the ABT driver. The South African stayed cool, grabbed the two opponents and, after crossing the finish line, ordered an ice cream from SAT.1 commentator Eddy Mielke, which was promptly served to him by colleague Andrea Kaiser at the podium ceremony. Walter Kolb accepted the trophy for the winning team. The 73-year-old pensioner from Isny had auctioned a seat at the pit stand of ABT Sportsline for the race at the Nürburgring by donating 6,000 Euros for the victims of the flood disaster in the region. The DTM was the first race event after the flood at the Nürburgring. Before the start of the race, children affected by the flood had visited the ABT Sportsline pit and were even allowed to hold the steering wheel of the eventual winning car in their hands before the race.

ABT Sportsline Celebrates Anniversary 125 Years of Innovative Mobility and Driving Pleasure
ABT Sportsline 2021 – Press Release CW 11 ABT Sportsline celebrates anniversary 125 years of innovative mobility and driving pleasure In early April, 1896, the local Bavarian newspaper contained a small article, barely a few centimetres high. It read as follows: “Johann Baptist Abt takes over blacksmiths and coachworks in Burgstraße, Kempten.” The blacksmith of yore has since developed in ABT Sportsline, the world’s largest automotive aftermarket and performance parts specialist for Audi and VW, one of the most successful international motorsport teams and an innovative electromobility pioneer. The family business is now celebrating its 125th birthday. “Much has changed since the early days – the world, its people, the car, our perspective on things”, says Hans-Jürgen Abt. “One thing, however, has remained constant: Our passion for exciting new technologies, adventure and occasional unconventional methods.” The managing partner is the fourth generation, who is in charge of running the company with now 200 employees that has always been based in the heart of the Allgäu region. “An anniversary like always provides the perfect opportunity to say a heartfelt thank you. To my family, our employees all over the world, all of our partners in day-to-day business and motorsport, the fans on the race tracks and of course to our customers, who challenge and inspire us.” The developments are always in tune with the times Sporty cars were not yet on the agenda in 1896, but the “innovative blacksmith” was not short of creative ideas 125 years ago. Johann Baptist Abt developed a skid construction with which horse-drawn vehicles could be optimally converted to “winter operation”.

Da hatte der gerade einmal 27-jäh - Vier Generationen und 120 Jahre – so lange lebt die Leidenschaft für rige Schmied Johann Abt eine glorreiche Technik und Pferdestärken im Hause ABT Sportsline, dem weltweit Idee: Er entwickelte eine Vorrichtung, mit deren Hilfe sich eine Kutsche spielend leicht größten Veredler von Fahrzeugen aus dem VW-Konzern. in einen Schlitten verwandeln ließ – und um - gekehrt. Diese Winter-Kutsche war zugleich eine segensreiche Erfindung und der Start - schuss für ein innovatives, über Generationen erfolgreiches Familienunternehmen. „Auto Union“ für die Ewigkeit Johann Abt war zunächst skeptisch, was den Erfolg des Automobils angeht – aber die frühen Fahrzeuge waren in seiner Werkstatt willkommen. Schließlich waren die ersten Modelle im Prinzip Kutschen mit Motor. Man konnte sie also mit dem Know-how eines Schmiedes reparieren. 1920 stand Jo - hann Abt dann vor der Qual der Wahl – für welche Marke sollte er eine Niederlassung er - öffnen? Er entschied sich für die von August Horch gegründeten Firmen Horch und Audi (zu Deutsch „ich höre“ bzw. „horch“) – und für eine Partnerschaft, die bis zum heutigen Tag ununterbrochen Bestand hat.

Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline with Successful DTM Season Opener
Audi MediaInfo Motorsport Communications Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 151 52817968 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline with successful DTM season opener • Three podiums at the Hockenheimring and lead of the teams’ classification • Robin Frijns in second place of the drivers’ classification Hockenheim, May 5, 2019 – Zero points a year ago, 53 points on two days and the lead of the teams’ classification this time: Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline managed a good start to the new DTM season at the Hockenheimring. “With three podiums, this has been a strong opener for us,” says Thomas Biermaier, Sport Director of ABT Sportsline. “Congrats to both drivers and congrats to the team that worked extremely hard and did three really good pit stops. We can build on this.” The strong showing at Hockenheim began with a best time set by Nico Müller in the first free practice session on Friday. Accordingly, the Swiss was disappointed when he had to settle for tenth position on the grid in the rain on Saturday and eighth in the first of the two races. “Fortunately, I was able to provide exactly the right response on Sunday and in second place score a podium finish,” said the Swiss. “With three Audi drivers on podium, it was a great day for Audi and a great day for ABT.” Müller pulled off a lightning start on Sunday with which he improved from fourth to second position. Subsequently, he had to let René Rast pass, who drove to victory with a bold two-stop strategy, but Müller decided the duel against BMW driver Philipp Eng for second place in his favor, also thanks to a faster pit stop of his team.

Striking Design and Strong Partners ABT Sportsline Ready for Official DTM Test
ABT Sportsline 2021 – Press Release CW 17 Striking design and strong partners ABT Sportsline ready for official DTM test The countdown to the start of the new DTM season begins with the last official and joint test days at the Lausitzring next week. ABT Sportsline will be running three Audi R8 LMS cars and, together with strong partners, has perfectly positioned itself for the next chapter in the company’s successful DTM history. The race cars of Sophia Flörsch, Kelvin van der Linde and Mike Rockenfeller will be given a striking design that will be instantly recognisable to all of the fans at the track and in front of the television. “We are proud that so many partners are accompanying us on our comeback as a private team in the DTM,” says Harry Unflath, who as Head of Sports Marketing at ABT Sportsline is responsible for marketing all of the motorsport activities of the team from Allgäu. “Together with our partners, engineers, mechanics, drivers and fans, we have a strong package for the DTM. Now, of course, we want to repay the trust placed in us with strong performances and plenty of action off the track as well.” The decision in favour of the Audi R8 LMS as the race car for the DTM entry was a logical one: ABT has been involved in motorsport with the four rings in a wide variety of categories since the early 1990s. “Audi and ABT have a successful history together that has lasted for more than three decades,” says Harry Unflath. “We are now looking forward to the new commitment and support from Audi Sport customer racing.” Most striking is the appearance of automotive and industrial supplier Schaeffler, which makes Sophia Flörsch’s entry possible and its colors dominate the design of the 20-year-old German’s Audi R8 LMS.

After winning the manufacturers’ title last season, the drivers’ title that last went to Audi in 2013 is to be recaptured this year. In the fierce competition with BMW and Mercedes-Benz, Audi Sport relies on time- tested and familiar assets: the same three teams, the same eight drivers and exactly the same Audi RS 5 DTM that at the end of 2014 was the car to be beaten.

Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline Wins at Misano
Audi MediaInfo Motorsport Communications Virginia Brusch Tel: +49 151 52817968 E-mail: [email protected] www.audi -mediacenter.com/en Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline wins at Misano • First triumph in the DTM with current driver pairing • Nico Müller celebrates second victory in his DTM career Misano, June 9, 2019 – Exuberant joy at Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline: Nico Müller in Sunday’s race at Misano (Italy) celebrated the second victory in his DTM career. Robin Frijns, in fourth position, completed the team’s strong result. Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline most recently won a DTM race in September 2017, at the Red Bull Ring. It also marked the last victory scored by long-standing ABT driver Mattias Ekström before stepping down. With the youngest driver pairing of the three Audi factory teams, the squad made a new beginning that was now rewarded by the first victory. “What a fantastic feeling!” said an exuberant Nico Müller. “We worked very hard and long for this. The guys more than deserve this result. Today’s victory is great for Audi and ABT. Thank you for this outstanding car! The Audi RS 5 DTM was extremely strong here at Misano. To convert this into a dominant victory with a good start and a strong performance, especially after the tire change, is outstanding.” On Saturday, Müller had fought from eighth on the grid to fifth at Misano. On Sunday, with a lightning-fast start, he improved from fourth to second position. On the 14th lap, the Swiss captured the lead when René Rast dropped back due to a puncture.

ABT Sportsline 2011 – Pressemeldung
ABT Sportsline 2016 – Pressemeldung Innovation aus Tradition: Ein Weltunternehmen wird 120 Jahre jung Tatsächlich ist ABT Sportsline heute Weltmarktführer, wenn es um die Veredelung von Fahrzeugen aus dem VW-Konzern geht. Wie sich das Unternehmen derzeit mit Ingenieurskunst und einem Gespür für sportlich-dynamisches Design entwickelt, ließ sich 1896 genauso wenig erahnen, wie die späteren Erfolge im Motorsport. Im Super- Tourenwagen-Cup oder den GT Masters feierte man Triumphe, fünf Fahrertitel und drei Mal den Sieg in der Mannschaftswertung stehen in der DTM aktuell zu Buche. Hinzu kommen zahlreiche Siege in der Formula E. All das konnte sich der Schmied Johann Abt in den Anfängen verständlicherweise nicht vorstellen, aber er legte den Grundstein für das heutige Unternehmen – und das mit einer Innovation: Mittels einer cleveren Vorrichtung ließen sich Kutschen mit wenigen Handgriffen in Schlitten verwandeln. Das sparte Zeit und sorgte während der strengen Winter für Mobilität. Die Schmiede betrieb Johann Abt später lange parallel zu seiner Autowerkstatt. Anfangs war er dem neuen Fortbewegungsmittel gegenüber skeptisch, aber er merkte rasch, welches Potential die Motorwagen haben könnten. Um das Jahr 1920 herum begann die Partnerschaft mit den von August Horch gegründeten Firmen Horch und Audi – und die besteht im Kern bis heute. Denn aus der Verbindung mit DKW entstand 1932 die Auto Union, aus der schließlich die Premiummarke Audi wurde. Nach dem zweiten Weltkrieg kümmerte man sich in Kempten auch um andere Fahrzeuge, repariert wurde alles, was man irgendwie fahrbereit machen konnte. So half man beim Wiederaufbau. Aber was heißt „man“? Rosina Abt übernahm das Ruder, weil ein Sohn mit Verspätung, der andere überhaupt nicht aus dem Krieg zurückkam.
