  • Frei Für Den Saisonauftakt in Hockenheim!
    DTM 2019 Start frei für den Saisonauftakt in Hockenheim! Hochspannung vor dem DTM-Saisonauftakt vom 3. bis 5. Mai auf dem Hockenheimring Audi-Star Mike Rockenfeller: „Der Hockenheimring ist die beste Strecke im Kalender!“ 18 Rennfahrerinnen aus 13 Nationen bereichern in der W Series das Rahmenprogramm Der Winter war lang, das Test- und Entwicklungsprogramm der neuen DTM- Rennboliden ebenfalls. Doch am kommenden Wochenende heißt es endlich: Karten auf den Tisch! Den vielen Tourenwagen-Fans nicht nur in Deutschland stellen sich verschiedene brennende Fragen: Wie schnell und spektakulär sind die Tourenwagen mit den neuen, rund 600 PS starken Turbomotoren live vor Ort? Kann Audi die leichten Vorteile aus den Tests auch am ersten Rennwochenende umsetzen? Hat BMW, wie Experten vermuten, noch Pfeile im Köcher? Wie schlagen sich die Neulinge von Aston Martin, die bei den letzten gemeinsamen Testfahrten auf dem Lausitzring angedeutet haben, welch großes Potenzial im neuen Aston Martin Vantage DTM steckt? Kann das Privatteam WRT mit den beiden heißen Youngstern Jonathan Aberdein und Pietro Fittipaldi den arrivierten DTM-Stars die Suppe versalzen? Gelingt es den Rennfahrern, das enorme Drehmoment der Zweiliter-Turbomotoren so einzusetzen, dass sie ihre Reifen nicht überstrapazieren? Muss am Ende gar ein zweiter Reifenwechsel-Boxenstopp eingelegt werden? Welche Piloten nutzen die technischen Überholhilfen wie Push-to-Pass (kurzzeitige Erhöhung der Benzin-Durchflussmenge) und Drag Reduction System (Flachstellen des Heckflügels für reduzierten Luftwiderstand auf den Geraden) im Zweikampf am zielführendsten? Und überhaupt: Haben die Teams die neue Turbo-Technik schon komplett im Griff? Fragen über Fragen, die nur die beiden Rennen über jeweils 36 Runden auf dem 4,574 Kilometer langen Hockenheimring Baden-Württemberg am Samstag (4.5) und Sonntag (5.5.) jeweils um 13.30 Uhr beantworten können.

    Class Register Touring Car School First Grade Class of: 1998–2014 Volkswagen Motorsport GmbH, Ikarusallee 7a, D-30179 Hannover Preface 03 Dear parents, touring car students and motorsport friends! he season finale of the 2014 Volkswagen Scirocco R-Cup sees us send our very last group of graduates into the world of motorsport on the back of an outstanding education. Volkswagen’s touring car school is closing, Tand can look back on some exciting, successful, and sometimes wild years with the Lupo, Polo and Scirocco Cup. And so the final chapter is added to the class register, and it is time to hand it over to you. It is full of summa cum laudae performances. It is full of fantastic memories and “Oh yes, you remember when …” experiences. It is full of stories and anecdotes. And here and there you will also find the odd reprimand, a reference to one touring car student or another crossing the line. Whatever happens, every line is worth reading. We have rummaged through the archives and dug out the remarkable, the curious, and the stories worth telling, and have put them together for you on the following pages. The class register for the touring car school is being closed once and for all. Elsewhere, another book is being opened for a completely new motorsport story, and is waiting for the first page to be filled with others’ experiences. From 2015, the Audi brand will continue the tradition of one-make touring car cups within the Volkswagen Group, and will host a new series for motorsport juniors in the form of the TT Cup.
