Following an inaugural campaign that surpassed all expectations, the SRO Motorsports Group-run series consolidated its status as Asia’s most popular GT category by featuring even more cars, manufacturers, drivers and nationalities amongst its 30+ entries per round in 2018. The series brings together a mix of GT3 and GT4 machinery, while GTC cars are also eligible to compete. 2018’s calendar again featured twelve 60- minute races spread across six events in four countries, while a new venue and nation - Yeongam in South Korea - ensures six FIA Grade 1 circuits will comprise 2019’s schedule. Cars feature a maximum of two drivers, each of whom qualifies for and then starts one of the weekend’s two races. They must then swap places with their co-driver during the mandatory pitstop window, which lasts 10- minutes. Two types of driver pairings compete for outright victories: the mix of a professional and amateur (Pro/Am) and two professionals graded no higher than Silver by the FIA (Silver Cup).

Mit umso ehrgeizigeren Zielen geht Audi Sport in die Saison 2016: Die Marke mit der roten Raute hat die Titel in der Fahrer-, Hersteller- und Teamwertung fest im Visier. „Wir hatten im vergangenen Jahr das schnellste Auto“, sagt Dieter Gass, Leiter DTM bei Audi Sport. „In zehn der 18 Rennen hatten wir die Nase vorn und haben damit mehr Rennen gewonnen als unsere beiden Wettbewerber zusammen. Es war schmerzhaft, dass wir am Ende keinen der drei Titel holen konnten. Das wollen wir 2016 ändern.“ Die Technik der DTM-Renntourenwagen ist per Reglement „eingefroren“, deshalb ist der Audi RS 5 DTM gegenüber dem Vorjahr technisch unverändert. Dennoch haben die Ingenieure von Audi Sport am Auto weiter gearbeitet.

The brand with the four rings is to become the premium automobile segment’s ‘number one.’ And in the DTM, Audi has firmly set its sights on being ‘number one’ as well. 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. The further development of the car in winter was prohibited by the regulations.

  • 2016 Media Guide
    2016 MEDIA GUIDE Toyota Racing Series: TOP INTERNATIONALS CHALLENGE LEADING KIWI DRIVERS New Zealand’s premier single-seater championship has once more attracted a top field of international drivers to this country to do battle with New Zealand drivers for the most prestigious trophies in New Zealand motor racing. The championship, now in its 12th season, and in the second season for the new FT50 race car, the series was established to help young New Zealanders to advance their racing careers by giving them experience in modern composite-based ‘wings and slicks’ race cars. It has launched Kiwis into international racing careers. New Zealand graduates of the series include 2015 FIA World Endurance Champion Brendon Hartley, Le Mans 24-Hour race winner Earl Bamber, GP2 racers Mitch Evans and Richie Stanaway, Japanese Formula Three champion Nick Cassidy, Chinese Formula Masters champion James Munro, Porsche Carrera Cup Asia champion Chris van der Drift and V8 Supercars driver Shane van Gisbergen. This year three Kiwis are racing – James Munro (Christchurch), 2015 national Formula Ford champion Taylor Cockerton (Pukekohe) and 2015 Spirit of a Nation TRS feature race winner Brendon Leitch. Munro is having his third shot at winning the TRS championship as is Leitch, while it is Cockerton’s first year in the top category. The international talent they will race against is considerable. Brazilian 17-year-old Pedro Piquet, son of three-time world Formula One champion Nelson (1981, 1983, 1987), is returning to the TRS after contesting the opening rounds in 2014. In the intervening period he has won the Brazilian Formula Three Championship for the last two years and will be using the TRS series as a springboard into the FIA European Formula Three Championship where he will team up with British driver and 2015 TRS graduate Callum Ilott at Van Amersfoort racing.

Und auch in der DTM hat Audi die Nummer eins fest im Visier: Nach dem Gewinn des Herstellertitels in der vergangenen Saison soll in diesem Jahr auch der Fahrertitel zurückerobert werden, der zuletzt 2013 an Audi ging. Im harten Wettbewerb mit BMW und Mercedes-Benz vertraut Audi Sport in der DTM 2015 dabei auf Bewährtes und Vertrautes: dieselben drei Teams, dieselben acht Piloten und exakt jenen Audi RS 5 DTM, der Ende 2014 das Auto war, das es zu schlagen galt. Das Auto im Winter weiterzuentwickeln, war per Reglement untersagt. Deshalb hat sich Audi Sport darauf konzentriert, das vorhandene Paket zu perfektionieren. Die Fahrer durchliefen ein neues mentales und physisches Trainingsprogramm, die drei Audi Sport Teams haben sich akribisch auf das neue Wochenendformat und die veränderten Abläufe der DTM vorbereitet.
