Triple Champion René Rast: “The DTM Has Always Been My Home”
Audi MediaInfo Triple champion René Rast: “The DTM has always been my home” • The big champion’s interview with the Audi factory driver • From the Audi RS 5 DTM to the Audi e-tron FE07 • Double program possible in Formula E and DTM Neuburg a. d. Donau, November 18, 2020 – The future is electric, also for René Rast. The most successful Audi DTM driver of all time will take part in the FIA Formula E World Championship for Audi in 2021, but the 34-year-old father of a family has also already set his next goal in the DTM. With his third title triumph in just four years, René Rast wrote DTM history at the beginning of November. The Minden-born driver, who lives in Bregenz (Austria), won 24 races in record time with the Audi RS 5 DTM, took 20 pole positions, set the fastest lap 14 times and collected 1,113 points. With 77 starts, this corresponds to an average of more than 14 points per race. In the DTM’s eternal list of best drivers, René Rast is now tied with racing legend Klaus Ludwig in second place for championship titles. In this interview, the German explains how he spent the days after winning his third title, which goals he has for Formula E, why he remains loyal to Audi and which DTM record he still wants to break. How does this sound: three-time DTM champion and on a par with a legend like Klaus Ludwig? Of course, it is a very special feeling to be among the three best DTM drivers in history. -
Customer Teams Field Five Audi R8 LMS Cars at the DTM Season Opener at Monza
Audi MediaInfo Customer teams field five Audi R8 LMS cars at the DTM season opener at Monza • Customer teams ABT Sportsline and Rosberg field five GT3 sports cars • Sophia Flörsch contests first DTM race Neuburg a. d. Donau, June 16, 2021 – The DTM starts its 36th season under new auspices in which Audi is strongly represented on two grids. While the DTM is relying on GT3 sportscars like the Audi R8 LMS for the first time after two decades of Class 1 touring cars, the DTM Trophy is tackling its second season with production-based models like the Audi R8 LMS GT4. “Audi knows the DTM very well and, with twelve title successes in the drivers classification alone, is one of the two most successful brands in history. A new era begins for the DTM in 2021. Gerhard Berger has succeeded in transforming the Class 1 era into a highly attractive platform based on GT motorsport. The 2021 season promises pure excitement thanks to a high level of brand diversity and an internationally top-class driver line-up,” says Julius Seebach, Managing Director Audi Sport GmbH and responsible for motorsport at Audi. “For our Audi Sport customer racing customers, the new DTM platform offers the opportunity to fight for the coveted DTM title. With the R8 LMS, we offer the product that is capable of winning and are pleased that the teams have chosen Audi.” As usual, two races are scheduled for each of the eight events. They usually last 55 minutes plus one lap and include one mandatory pit stop each. -

Friday Press Conference Transcript 23.03.2018
FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE L' AUTOMOBILE 2018 FIA Formula One World Championship Australian Grand Prix Friday Press Conference Transcript 23.03.2018 TEAM REPRESENTATIVES –Toto WOLFF (Mercedes), Maurizio ARRIVABENE (Ferrari), Christian HORNER (Red Bull Racing) PRESS CONFERENCE A question to all of you to start with, what sort of shape are you in relative to each going into this new championship? After all, one of your is likely to be the world champion team at the end of it. Christian, why don’t you start? Christian HORNER: First of all, it’s great to be back in Melbourne, good to be going racing again. It seems like a long winter this one. A positive first session for us, though obviously difficult to read too much into times but you start to get an bit of an idea. You can see Mercedes taking off where they left off; they look in great shape. I think we made good progress with the car over the winter. The drivers seem happy and I’m envisaging a quite tight battle with Maurizio but I’m not sure at the moment what the delta is to Toto’s cars. Toto? Toto WOLFF: Again, like Christian said, it’s good to get started again. We’ve had a pretty good test, much better than last year. But you’re never very sure where that will end up in the first race and the first session was OK, as expected. We didn’t see the Ferraris on the tyres that we have been running, and we need a little bit more time to understand, but I would say it’s a decent start. -

Brackley Press Information 2015 Italian Grand Prix – Preview 01 September 2015 The 2015 Formula One World Championship season continues with Round Twelve, the Italian Grand Prix, from Monza Contents • Driver / Senior Management Quotes o Lewis Hamilton o Nico Rosberg o Toto Wolff o Paddy Lowe • Silver Arrows Statistics • Italian Grand Prix Week: Calendar • #GlobalGrandstand • Contacts Driver / Senior Management Quotes Lewis Hamilton Spa was a really positive weekend for me. I felt comfortable right the way through and it was great to finally get another win at one of the real classic F1 circuits. Now, we head to another of those in Monza. It’s an awesome track – so fast and with some of the most passionate fans you’ll see anywhere in the world. I was actually at this circuit with Sir Stirling Moss earlier this year, driving the banking in his old Mercedes W 196, which was just awesome. Having that taste of what it was like for those guys back in the day really gives you a feel for the history of this place and why it became so legendary. It’s still a big challenge today, too. Fast, but really technical at the same time with some heavy braking and big kerbs to ride for the best line. Racing in Italy brings back a lot of good memories for me and I’d love to add to those this weekend, so that’s the aim. Nico Rosberg Page 2 The race in Spa was definitely disappointing. My start was not good so I need to work on that and also on finding those extra tenths in qualifying to get back on top there. -

News Release Formula 1 Champion Puts Formula Student into Pole Position David Coulthard gets in the driving seat at FS10 at Silverstone Thursday 15 July Europe‟s biggest student motorsport competition launched with a bang with racing legend David Coulthard dropping in for a flying visit at the Silverstone-based event. He was taken on a tour of the garages at Formula Student, now in its 13th year and run by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE). He agreed to come on a whistle-stop tour to see the new wave of engineering talent on display and then took part in a Q&A session where he was joined by Andrew Shovlin, Senior Race Engineer at MERCEDES GP PETRONAS, Bob Bell, Managing Director of Renault F1 Team and Nick Wirth, Technical Director of Virgin Racing.
