Audi A4 DTM 2010

Foreword Contents 

Having marked its 100th anniversary with its third 

consecutive DTM win last year, there can only be one goal 

for Audi in 2010: for the fourth time in a row, the new 

DTM champion should be behind the wheel of an A4 DTM. 

It goes without saying that, together with the DTM, the 

committed car manufacturers are focusing on efficiency to 

achieve this goal. But something that does deserve to be 

mentioned explicitly is the fact that Audi has the potential 

to cut its costs by up to 30 per cent (not including accidentrelated 

repair costs) – a feat which is unparalleled around 

the world. There will be no reduction in the excitement of 

the DTM, however, with this, the most illustrious touring car 

racing series there is, set to deliver 

top-notch motorsports action on ten 

occasions once again this year.

Audi in the 2010 DTM 

Can Audi clinch its fourth 

consecutive title in the 2010 DTM? 

Audi was involved in the DTM as a factory team from 1990 

to 1992, and returned to the fold in 2004. It is now into its 

tenth season in Europe’s most popular touring car racing 

series. Over the years, the Audi team has won the DTM title 

no less than six times, not to mention a seventh title in the 

2002 season together with the Abt Sportsline privateer 

team. Having made history last year by achieving a hattrick, 

Audi now intends to be behind this year’s champion 

for the fourth time in a row. To achieve this feat, Head of 

Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich has put together the 

company’s youngest ever team of DTM drivers. Eight of the 

nine drivers, which include the current champions Mattias 

Ekström and Timo Scheider, have been part of the Audi 

team before. The newcomer is the Spaniard Miguel Molina 

who, at 21 years of age, brings the drivers’ average age 

down to 27.5 years old ahead of the next season. 

The nine Audi A4 DTM being driven by the familiar teams 

Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, Audi Sport Team Phoenix 

and Audi Sport Team Rosberg are characterised by their 

excellent efficiency. A development freeze implemented in 

the DTM in August 2009 will by no means detract from the

titles in the DTM

thrills of top-class motorsport, but does have the potential 

to reduce the constructors’ costs by up to 30 percent (not 

including accident-related repair costs). 

Mike Rockenfeller and Alexandre Prémat for Audi Sport 

Team Phoenix and Katherine Legge and Markus Winkelhock 

for Audi Sport Team Rosberg will once again get behind 

the wheel of the 2008 model of the Audi A4 DTM, which is 

internally referred to as the R14. This model is also being 

prepared by Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline for their driver 

Miguel Molina, while its four other drivers, Timo Scheider, 

Oliver Jarvis, Mattias Ekström and Martin Tomczyk, will be 

driving the R14 plus model of 2009. 

“The DTM has achieved something rather special by taking 

this step to reduce costs,” emphasises Head of Audi 

Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. “The technical regulations 

have remained essentially unchanged, so the underlying 

conditions have remained stable. It is therefore quite rare 

for so much potential to make savings to be initiated in topclass 

motorsport whilst nevertheless delivering the same 

high standards of sport as ever.” 

Once again in the 2010 season, Europe’s most popular 

touring car racing series will comprise ten races between 

April and October. Six of these will be hosted in Germany, 

with one each also in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK. 

The DTM is also gearing up for its second trip to China (the 

largest single foreign market for Audi) since 2004, with 

the 2010 final scheduled to take place on the streets of 

Shanghai. 

The DTM intends to continue its success story in its eleventh 

season since being relaunched in 2000 by offering the 

spectators affordable admission fees, giving fans direct 

access to the drivers’ paddock and the drivers themselves, 

and with all sorts of other attractive features that 

contribute to a comprehensive supporting programme. 

Last year, 718,000 fans at the venues and an average 

of 2.11 million TV spectators in Germany watched Timo 

Scheider work his way to his second consecutive title win. 

The 2010 DTM season is all about 

maximum efficiency and 

significant potential for savings 

coupled with the same level of 

excitement as ever

Efficiency and sustainability 

Technology transfer and efficiency for the 

direct benefit of the customers 

Technology transfer, efficiency and sustainability – these are 

more than merely buzzwords, and have been the mainstays 

of Audi’s motorsport programme for the past 30 years. 

“For Audi, motorsport is and always has been a means with 

which to further technologies with a lot of promise for 

the future,” Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich 

stresses. 

Ever since the eighties, quattro has stood for a whole 

lot more than merely a technical system. Audi put this 

four-wheel drive technology to the test in motorsport 

(both in rallying and in the DTM) and helped it on its way 

to its introduction into all model series, thus instigating a 

paradigm shift. Other manufacturers, such as Audi’s main 

A wide array of technologies 

designed to boost efficiency have 

been transposed from motorsport to 

mass production by Audi 

competitors in today’s premium segment, were forced to 

follow suit on witnessing the technological and economic 

success the technology brought Audi. By the end of 2009, 

Audi had made more than 3.2 million vehicles with quattro 

four-wheel drive, which is very fast and stable and therefore 

contributes to the safety offered by the vehicle. 

There have also been transfer effects in the field of 

materials technology which are still making an impact to 

this day. For example, back in 1983, Audi developed its first 

all-aluminium engine for its Audi Sport quattro. Today, 

lightweight construction is one of Audi’s core areas of 

expertise und aluminium is a valuable resource with which 

to improve the efficiency of production vehicles by reducing 

their weight. Aluminium is now an integral part of many 

Audi models, be it in the Audi Space Frame (ASF), chassis 

components, bodywork elements or in all sorts of other

Lightweight construction such as the aluminium ASF 

in the R8 is a core area of Audi expertise 

applications. Even carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), 

which was a highly unusual material used in racing cars such 

as the Audi 200 quattro in the eighties, is now regularly 

used in Audi production vehicles, for example in the soft top 

compartment of the R8 Spyder. 

The debut of the TFSI engine in the Audi R8 sports car in 

Le Mans and its first victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 

2001 paved the way for the introduction of petrol direct 

injection into mass production. To this day, millions of 

vehicles on the road are helping to reduce carbon dioxide 

emissions because they make substantial fuel savings with 

this technology. 

Starting in 1989, Audi began to revolutionise the 

construction of engines for mass production with TDI 

technology, a top-class, high-performance and especially 

clean form of diesel direct injection that contributes 

greatly to reducing CO2 emissions. And in 2006, Audi made 

history with this technology in Le Mans, becoming the first 

automobile manufacturer in the world to win the 24-hour 

race with a diesel engine. Extreme injection pressures of 

2,000 bar, the development of injector technology, and 

fundamental construction-related findings are just some 

of the areas in which direct technology transfers between 

mass production and motorsport have paid off. In addition, 

Audi has implemented specific measures to protect the 

environment with the help of its partners: light, highperformance 

diesel particulate filters made by Dow, which 

were subsequently made available to end users a few years 

further down the line, and extra clean GTL (gas-to-liquid) 

fuels and fuels with BTL (biomass-to-liquid) proportions 

have made a direct and considerable contribution to 

environmental protection. 

The famous quattro four-wheel drive was developed for motorsport 

and is now also standard in series production models

Audi Sport 

30 years of success 

Audi Sport was founded 30 years ago and is affiliated to 

Audi’s Technical Development (TE) division under the auspices 

of Board Member Michael Dick. The division has celebrated 

victories and won numerous titles around the world in all 

the disciplines it has entered, be it in relation to rallying, 

touring cars of any kind or sports cars. Audi has realised 16 

different racing projects since 1980 and the division currently 

counts some 200 employees involved in the research and 

development of racing cars at its sites in Ingolstadt and 

Neckarsulm. Qualified mechanical engineer Dr Wolfgang 

Ullrich has been the head of Audi Sport since 1993. 

Three pillars of motorsport 

Audi has been involved in sports car racing since the 1999 

season and, with eight Le Mans victories under its belt, is 

once again rising to the biggest endurance racing challenges 

around in the 2010 season, with its advanced R15 TDI. Audi 

has also been involved in the DTM since 2004, in which 

it has won four titles in six years, including a hat-trick 

The Audi A4 DTM is one 

of three Audi Sport racing cars 

between 2007 and 2009. The automobile manufacturer 

then established a third pillar in the 2009 season with 

the Audi R8 LMS, its first ready-to-run privateer racing car, 

which won three titles in its debut season as well as 23 out 

of 76 races. A dedicated privateer centre was inaugurated in 

Ingolstadt in the spring of 2010 in order to secure supplies 

for 30 privateer vehicles delivered around the world, with 

all the teams benefiting from the company’s international 

logistics structure for the delivery of spare parts.

Audi A4 DTM (R14 plus) 

An extraordinary season 

for an unbeaten concept 

After two DTM title wins, the Audi A4 DTM comprising the 

R14 and R14 plus model generations (2008 and 2009 

respectively) remains unbeaten and will line up to compete 

again in 2010. But this time, it will be without the usual 

technological advances, as a result of the development 

freeze imposed on all the DTM manufacturers. The 

technological development of the vehicles has been all but 

Audi uses both the R14 (left) and the R14 plus (right) version in the 2010 season 

entirely prohibited since 17 August 2009, with a view to 

maximising the series’ economic efficiency. This also applies 

to the engines, which were sealed for the entire season at 

the beginning of 2009. One final detail, namely the choice 

of dampers, was codified on 1 March 2010. Audi has three 

aerodynamic configurations that were developed prior to 

the introduction of the development freeze, each of which

is used depending on the racetrack in question. As far as 

chassis kinematics are concerned, only the camber, toe and 

vehicle height may now be adjusted. The usual computergenerated 

simulations are therefore now only of limited use 

and Audi now focuses its testing activities on the optimum 

use of Dunlop tyres. 

In order to ascertain whether the manufacturers are 

complying with the new regulations, each manufacturer 

has been required by the German Motorsport Federation 

(DMSB) to put together a set of reference parts in a discrete 

sealed container provided by the DMSB, which is then taken 

to every race. The DMSB has also been furnished with CAD 

records of the vehicles’ construction. 

The stipulated minimum weight of the 2009 vehicles 

remains unchanged at 1,050 kilograms including the driver, 

while the regulations prescribe that the 2008 models must 

each weigh at least 1,025 kilograms. The rule stipulating 

that the ballast weight is dependent on the vehicle’s 

previous rankings no longer applies this year. Together, all 

of the framework conditions promise to deliver one thing 

above all, and that is the same level of thrilling sport as 

ever coupled with substantial budget relief. Because in 

addition to reducing development costs, there is now no

longer any need to create a new generation of vehicles 

(usually four) every season. Mattias Ekström, Martin 

Tomczyk, Markus Winkelhock and Alexandre Prémat will all 

be using the same racing cars as in 2009. Mike Rockenfeller 

will take to the wheel of Oliver Jarvis’s former car, while 

Oliver Jarvis inherits Tom Kristensen’s car. DTM newcomer 

Miguel Molina will drive the A4 used by Katherine Legge 

from Great Britain last year, as she takes control of the 

vehicle vacated by Mike Rockenfeller. Defending champion 

Timo Scheider will drive an A4 DTM with the chassis number 

R14 plus 606. 

Sizeable savings are also being achieved in the field of 

engine construction, as two vehicles will once again share a 

maximum of three engines between them for the duration 

of the season. Audi will tackle the 2010 season with 

reworked versions of the approximately 340-kilowatt V8 

engine, as long as this fits in with the engines’ respective 

maintenance schedules. Consequently, no entirely new 

engines are being built this year. This all ultimately means 

that the fans will see the same attractive racing cars as last 

year while the development budget is markedly relieved. 

With two consecutive wins, the R14 

and R14 plus model generations 

of the Audi A4 DTM are currently 

unbeaten in the DTM 

Audi is anticipating major savings potential for the 2010 

season as a whole, with a reduction of up to 30 per cent 

in the cost of fielding the nine Audi A4 DTM (not including 

accident-related repair costs). 

The development freeze marks a hiatus in an impressive 

development process which has seen Audi achieve some 

major improvements in efficiency between the first 

generation of the Audi A4 DTM – the R11 in 2004 – and the 

most recent R14 plus. For example, the basic vehicle weight 

not including ballast weight has been reduced by more 

than 20 per cent, while the torsional rigidity has remained 

unchanged. The vehicle’s centre of gravity has been lowered 

by more than 10 per cent and the aerodynamic efficiency – 

the ratio of drag to downforce – has been improved by the 

developers by more than 20 per cent. The Audi A4 DTM has 

never been more efficient.

various bodywork parts are made of carbon fibre

The Audi drivers 

Nine Europeans under the 

sign of the four rings 

Audi will tackle the 2010 DTM season with three teams 

comprising a highly attractive, charming and sportingly 

impressive squad of drivers. Audi Sport Team Abt 

Sportsline, which is based in Kempten in the Allgäu region, 

will be represented by champions Mattias Ekström and Timo 

Scheider, who have won four titles for Audi between them in 

the past six years. This includes a hat-trick in 2007 (Mattias 

Ekström), 2008 and 2009 (both Timo Scheider). 

Abt Sportsline will also be entering Martin Tomczyk and 

the newly promoted Oliver Jarvis, who will take charge of 

a 2009 Audi A4 DTM for the first time as he takes Tom 

Kristensen’s former place. The fifth and final member of the 

Abt Sportsline team is rookie Miguel Molina of Spain. 

Markus Winkelhock and Katherine Legge, both of whom are 

with Audi for their third season, will be lining up for Audi 

Sport Team Rosberg based in Neustadt an der Weinstraße. 

Teammates Alexandre Prémat and Mike Rockenfeller will 

be reunited under the auspices of Audi Sport Team Phoenix. 

The two of them won the Le Mans Series for Audi in 2008 in 

an R10 TDI sports car and, like Oliver Jarvis, have both also 

previously made it onto the winners’ rostrum in the DTM in 

year-old cars. Alexandre Prémat, who has also driven as a 

sports car pilot for Audi in the past, is focusing entirely on 

the DTM this year. 

Audi is the first automobile manufacturer in the history of 

the DTM, which started in 1984, to have won the title three 

years running. And it intends to further its success story in 

the 2010 season. To achieve this ambitious goal, it is relying 

on the youngest Audi DTM squad ever, with an average age 

of 27.5 years. 

The team’s average age, 27.5 years, has never been lower

Audi factory driver 

Mattias Ekström (S) Did you know that … 

To put it in a nutshell, Mattias Ekström of Sweden is the 

most successful Audi DTM driver in the 20 years since the 

brand first got involved in the DTM. He has been racing in the 

DTM for the Abt Sportsline team since 2001 and has been 

an Audi factory driver since 2004. He has since garnered 13 

race victories and two titles, which is more than any other 

Audi driver. He is also highly versatile, as demonstrated by 

his having once again beaten Michael Schumacher in the 

Race of Champions at the end of 2009, just like he did two 

years before. Central Europe is more than just a sporting 

home for Mattias – he now also lives there, in Salenstein in 

Switzerland, by Lake Constance. 

… Mattias Ekström mostly goes skiing in the winter to 

maintain his fitness? Conventional cross-country skis, skate 

skis and downhill skis can all be found in his garage. 

… Mattias doesn’t just watch motorsport on TV? He also 

likes to watch dog trainer Cesar Millan. 

… a Jack Russell terrier called Moss is part of the Ekström 

family? 

… Mattias is a nature lover? One of his favourite 

summertime pastimes is doing a spot of gardening followed 

by a barbecue.

Oliver Jarvis (GB) Did you know that … 

Oliver Jarvis, who switched from single-seater racing to 

an Audi A4 DTM touring car ahead of the 2008 season, is 

enjoying a terrific career in the DTM with Audi. In his second 

season with Audi Sport Team Phoenix in a used car in 2009, 

he made it onto the rostrum twice and rounded off the 

season as the best Audi driver of a year-old car. He has also 

demonstrated his skills behind the wheel of an Audi R8 LMS 

on the Nordschleife at the Nürburgring and in an Audi R10 

TDI in the Asian Le Mans Series for Team Kolles. 

Audi is giving the 26-year-old the opportunity to clinch 

some race victories in the 2010 season in the cockpit of an 

up-to-date Audi A4 DTM for Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline. 

… Oliver Jarvis likes to watch tennis, football (Premier and 

Champions League) and MotoGP on TV? 

… Oliver Jarvis has a bachelor’s degree in business studies?

The DTM is not only a very tough top-class international 

racing series, it is also predominantly a man’s world. So it 

speaks in Katherine Legge’s favour that she is participating in 

the DTM for the third year running. After an apprenticeship in 

2008, she proved her mettle in the 2009 season with Audi 

Sport Team Abt Sportsline, taking all the men by surprise 

with position five on the grid and the fastest lap on the 

Norisring. She is the most successful woman so far to have 

competed in the “new” DTM initiated in 2000.

Miguel Molina (E) Did you know that … 

Miguel Molina of Catalonia, Spain, can claim to be special 

in several ways: he is the first Spaniard to compete in the 

DTM and, at 21 years of age, is also the youngest driver in 

Audi’s 2010 squad. He took part in a DTM test for Audi in 

the 2008 season and performed impressively, but was still 

very young at just 18. He was tested again last year and was 

able to reconfirm the good impression he had made the 

year before. 

Miguel, who lives in the Mediterranean coastal town of 

Lloret de Mar in northern Spain, will drive a 2008 A4 DTM 

for Audi Sport Rookie Team Abt this year. 

… Miguel Molina attends a sports boarding school in 

Barcelona where up to 500 professional sportspeople train? 

… he got involved in motorsport through the kart racing 

team run by his father, who was once an active rally driver? 

… Miguel’s name is also spelt “Miquel” on his homepage? 

This is because his name is spelt with a “q” in Catalan. 

… Miguel has a ritual before the start of every race? He 

always puts his right boot and his left glove on first.

Timo Scheider (D) Did you know that … 

Timo Scheider is riding on the crest of a wave, having 

successfully defended his DTM title in the 2009 season. 

Only one other driver has achieved this since the DTM was 

launched in 1984. What’s more, his 2009 win as an Audi 

factory driver completed a hat-trick for the brand, which 

remains unbeaten since 2007 in Europe’s most popular 

touring car racing series. 

It goes without saying that, like his Audi Sport Team Abt 

Sportsline colleague, Timo would like nothing better than 

to win the title again in 2010. He lives in Lochau, Austria. 

… Timo Scheider went diving for the first time in Egypt in 

2010 and was fascinated by the underwater world? 

… he also follows karting, biathlon, football and boxing? 

… he has a penchant for watches, mobile phones and 

sunglasses? 

… that the “Race-4-Kids” initiative through which he and 

his partner support disadvantaged children was picked 

from 2,200 candidates as one of 365 ideas for 2010 by the 

“Germany – Land of Ideas” initiative under the patronage of 

the Federal President of Germany, Horst Köhler?

Martin Tomczyk (D) Did you know that … 

Martin Tomczyk starts his tenth DTM season in the peak 

of physical fitness. The Audi factory driver, who grew up 

in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim, was one of 20 sports 

personalities and famous faces to take part in a decathlon 

in Canada, enduring temperatures as low as –56 °C before 

spending a holiday in the Maldives where it was 75 degrees 

hotter. He had a private week of training in Switzerland 

in February before attending the Audi winter camp for a 

week soon after. While his weight has fallen by six kilos, 

his aggressiveness has only increased. Martin recharges his 

batteries in Switzerland in his spare time. He lives in the 

north-west of Switzerland, in Aesch near Basel. 

… Nicolas Cage is one of the actors most admired by 

Martin Tomczyk? 

… he is also interested in the Olympics, biathlon and 

football? 

… he says his favourite toy is his Harley-Davidson? 

… Martin would like to travel down Route 66 in the USA 

on a Harley or in an historic car?

Markus Winkelhock (D) Did you know that … 

This is Markus Winkelhock’s third season as an Audi factory 

driver in the DTM. Last year, the cheerful Swabian from 

Berglen-Steinach to the north-east of Stuttgart came tenth 

overall and was the second-best Audi driver of a year-old 

car. He was also one of an Audi quartet at the front of the 

pack on two occasions – at the opening race in Hockenheim 

and again at the Nürburgring. And this year, he wants to go 

even further and hopes to be the fastest used car driver on 

the grid. 

He is a professional racing driver for Audi Sport Team 

Rosberg and has a new DTM colleague, Katherine Legge, in 

the 2010 season. 

… Markus Winkelhock is the last active racing driver in a 

grand motorsport family? His father Manfred, who died in 

a car crash in 1985, his two uncles Joachim and Thomas, and 

his cousin Jens were all previously involved in motorsport. 

… his favourite subjects at school included sport, 

technology and maths? 

… Markus takes his parents’ wedding ring with him to the 

race weekends as a lucky charm? 

… his favourite female actor is Angelina Jolie?

The Audi teams 

Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline 

Abt Sportsline GmbH is based in 

Kempten im Allgäu. It is one of the 

world’s leading tuners of vehicles of 

the Volkswagen Group and is also one 

of Germany’s most successful racing 

teams. It has been involved in touring 

car racing since 1996 and has done so 

in partnership with Audi right from 

the start. The company recorded its 

first major success when Christian 

Abt won the STW Cup in 1999. The 

Abt Sportsline team has participated 

in the DTM since 2000, starting off 

as a privateer team with the Abt-Audi 

TT-R before becoming an Audi factory 

team in 2004. So far, it has clinched 

the DTM title for Audi no less than five 

times, and completed a hat-trick of 

consecutive wins last year. The team’s 

five cars are serviced by some 50 

employees. This year, Abt Sportsline is 

Volkswagen’s technical consultant for 

the Scirocco Cup, as it was previously 

for the Lupo Cup and the Polo. And 

last year, team member Daniel Abt 

won the ADAC Formel Masters, while 

Christian Abt won the ADAC GT Masters 

in an Audi R8 LMS. Abt Sportsline will 

contest the ADAC GT Masters once 

again this year.

Audi Sport Team Phoenix 

Audi Sport Team Phoenix is one 

of the three Audi factory-backed 

teams in the 2010 DTM season. 

The company, which has appeared 

as a factory team in the DTM 

every year since 2000, has its 

headquarters on the Meuspath 

industrial estate directly adjacent 

to the Nürburgring, in the Eifel. 

Approximately 20 employees 

overseen by Team Director Ernst 

Moser attend to the Audi A4 DTM 

cars driven by Alexandre Prémat and 

Mike Rockenfeller at the DTM races. 

The Phoenix team started off with 

two Audi A4 quattro cars competing 

in the STW in 1999, the year it 

was founded. Alongside its DTM 

involvement, the team also entered 

the 24-hour race at the Nürburgring 

and won the event twice, in 2000 

and 2003. Last year, Phoenix 

celebrated its tenth anniversary and 

won two major titles with the Audi 

R8 LMS, coming through ahead of 

the rest in the FIA GT3 European 

Championship and in the Belgian 

GT3 Championship.

Audi Sport Team Rosberg 

1982 Formula 1 champion Keke 

Rosberg established a racing 

team of his own at the end of 

1994, which has gone on to make 

a name for itself in touring car 

and formula racing. Its most 

outstanding achievements include 

its victory in the German Formula 3 

Championship of 2002 with Gary 

Paffett, while Keke’s son, Nico, 

started his career in motorsport 

with the Rosberg team before 

becoming a regular on the Formula 

1 circuit. The team was regularly 

involved in the “old” DTM in the 

90s, with drivers such as Klaus 

Ludwig and Hans Stuck, and has 

participated in the “new” DTM right 

from the start. In 2005, the team 

turned its attentions entirely to 

formula racing, but returned to the 

DTM fold as an Audi factory team 

in 2006. Since 2009, it has also 

engaged in endurance racing with 

an Audi R8 LMS. Audi Sport Team 

Rosberg has 24 employees for the 

DTM in 2010. The team is based in 

Neustadt an der Weinstraße and is

The DTM 

Eleventh season even 

less cost-intensive 

In its eleventh outing since its relaunch in 2000, the DTM 

will once again offer a fascinating mix this year: two premium 

car brands with six teams, established racing drivers of 

international renown and up-and-coming youngsters, and 

high tech combined with cost control all add up to excellent 

and accessible sport. Because as professional as it has 

become, the racing series has never turned its back on its 

roots stretching back to 1984, to which it can attribute its 

huge fan base. The spectators are, always have been and 

always will be an integral part of the series’ success story, so 

week after week they are given the opportunity to experience 

motorsport hands-on thanks to very fair admission prices, 

autograph sessions, an open drivers’ paddock and a pit walk 

for an up-close view of the teams. 

2010 DTM costs lowered even further 

The DTM introduced a moratorium on further technological

developments and on new racing car generations in 

2009, thus demonstrating that it is able to react to the 

restrictions engendered by a difficult economic situation 

both quickly and efficiently. This development freeze 

remains in place for the 2010 season too, but the event 

nevertheless promises to be as good and as thrilling as ever 

with cars from 2008 and 2009. 

Increasingly international 

For some time now, the DTM has been able to boast an 

international squad of drivers and an attractive European 

calendar of events. And this year, it is going one step 

further – in addition to six races in Germany and three 

elsewhere in Europe (in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK), 

for the second time in its history, the DTM will be venturing 

further afield to Shanghai, where the DTM final is scheduled 

to take place on 31 October 2010. 

Impressive media numbers and a strong advertising effect 

The DTM concept is very well received, as borne out by 

these figures: the races were attended by no less than 

718,000 fans last year and the event’s TV partner, the 

German channel ARD, recorded average viewer numbers of 

2.11 million during qualifying sessions and the event races. 

The live DTM TV reports 

attracted an average

The tracks 

Hockenheim (D) 

Round 1 – 25/04/2010 

Mike Rockenfeller 

“Driving at Hockenheim is always a great feeling. And when 

the season gets underway, everyone obviously wants to 

know how they are ranked. This is traditionally a strong 

venue and competing in front of a full-capacity audience 

is always a real thrill for a professional racing driver. The 

set-up of a racing car at Hockenheim requires a degree 

of compromise. It takes a very stable car to take corners 

at high speeds such as on the first corner, when entering 

the Motodrom section and when negotiating the last two 

corners. On the other hand, you need very good mechanical 

grip to get round the very tight corners such as the 

Spitzkehre hairpin bend. The best opportunities to overtake 

are just after the Parabolika section and two corners later in 

the tight left-hand bend.”

Valencia (E) 


Miguel Molina 

“Driving in Valencia is quite something – firstly because 

it is obviously the first time the DTM has come here 

and secondly because, being Spanish, it’s like a home 

game for me. So far, I have made it onto the winners’ 

rostrum twice in a junior Formula series. This racetrack 

is basically neither especially slow nor fast. There are 

some very tight places, of course, such as the second 

corner, but there are also plenty of fast bends. The most 

unusual thing is undoubtedly the fact that this racetrack 

is anticlockwise, in comparison to most racetracks, 

which are clockwise. This is an excellent track for 

spectators, because you can see pretty much all of the 

track from anywhere in the grandstands.”

EuroSpeedway (D) 



“I have always felt very comfortable as a driver on the 

EuroSpeedway Lausitz, where I first made it onto the DTM 

rostrum with the Abt-Audi TT-R in the 2001 season. I am 

well suited to a lot of combined corners. This racetrack is 

different to many others in that the track surface is very 

even. But it offers less grip than other tracks. I think the 

most impressive thing is the main grandstand, and seeing 

lots of people in the grandstand on a summer’s day is a 

real thrill. I won at Lausitz back in 2005 and I would love 

to battle it out to clinch the top step of the rostrum once 

again this year.”

Norisring (D) 


Katherine Legge 

“I really came to like the Norisring when I qualified to 

start from fifth position on the grid last year. It was more 

than just one good result – I was already in 6th place in 

the second qualifying session, a mere 23 hundredths of a 

second away from pole position. I then came eighth in the 

third qualifying session to secure myself fifth position on 

the starting grid. I didn’t get off to such a good start in the 

race, but I did achieve a personal best by performing the 

fastest lap. The racetrack looks very easy – but it isn’t. The 

car needs to be set-up for good traction out of the tight 

corners coupled with unfettered speed down the straights. 

The extreme layout of this street circuit is unique, as is its 

very special atmosphere.”

Nürburgring (D) 


Martin Tomczyk 

“I feel very comfortable on the Nürburgring and have a 

great time there – as demonstrated by my two wins there in 

2007 and 2009. I was also out in front in every qualifying 

session last year, so I am obviously feeling good about 

returning to this circuit. It doesn’t feature one specific 

make-or-break section, so a good result at the Nürburgring 

is partly down to driving it with a very fluid rhythm. 

Overtaking is easiest at the end of the long straight past 

the start/finish by the arena or after the back straights 

just before the chicane. This circuit is also great fun in the 

rain – two years ago, we performed the qualifying sessions 

in torrential rain.”

Zandvoort (NL) 


Alexandre Prémat 

“I am particularly fond of Zandvoort and think it is one of 

the nicest circuits in motorsport. Obviously, it’s amazing 

to drive through the dunes, just a stone’s throw from the 

sea. The sensations are even more intense in the cockpit 

here, partly because of the setting and also because of the 

track layout. The area is hilly and so is the circuit, and there 

are some spectacular bends. In some places, we can reach 

speeds of between 200 and 220 km/h. The Audi A4 DTM 

has always been a strong performer in Zandvoort thanks 

to its good aerodynamics. And year-old cars have had very 

good chances of doing well in recent years too. Zandvoort 

is also a great venue for the fans, as the main grandstand 

gives them an excellent view of the goings-on in the pit lane 

and in the first corner.”

The tracks 

Brands Hatch (GB) 


Oliver Jarvis 

“Brands Hatch is a fascinating circuit with a lot of tradition. 

Although the Indycar circuit is very short, I would still 

say it was a very difficult one. It only takes the smallest 

mistake in the qualifying sessions to drop back a number 

of starting positions, because the time differentials are so 

minute. My favourite section is Paddock Hill Bend, which 

is one of the best and most challenging corners around. 

How you come out of the bend is also crucial, so that you 

can really put your foot down up to Druids Bend. This is the 

most important section for overtaking manoeuvres. What 

makes Brands Hatch so special is that the spectators in the 

grandstands above Brabham Straight can see the entire 

circuit and therefore don’t miss a thing.”

Oschersleben (D) 


Timo Scheider 

“After winning here twice in a row, I have a very special 

relationship with Oschersleben. The entire circuit gives me a 

positive feeling and I always get into a good rhythm there. 

The triple-left bend is an especially fast section. The kerb in 

the first corner is tough on the cars, as is the fast chicane 

ahead of the back straight. The perimeter walls are closer 

to the track in Oschersleben than on other circuits, but I like 

circuits that don’t let you make any mistakes. My tip for the 

spectators is to go to the grandstand on the chicane ahead 

of the back straight, because it’s a spectacular section 

and it lets you see the cars for a long time, right from the 

first corner. A characteristic feature is the long pit stop 

approach. The whole pit stop therefore takes a lot longer 

here than at other tracks.”

Hockenheim (D) 


Markus Winkelhock 

“Racing at Hockenheim is like coming home for me, as I 

only live 120 kilometres away. The circuit layout has always 

suited me well. There are two or three spots where you can 

overtake: up to the Spitzkehre hairpin bend, in the next 

bend and sometimes in the Motodrom section too. We 

have a lot of data for the Audi A4 DTM in Hockenheim as we 

used to test them there and we also compete in two DTM 

races there every year. The first bend after the start/finish 

is slightly tricky as there is a red mark you are not allowed 

to drive over. The views for the spectators have always been 

impressive, and that’s something we even notice as drivers. 

When my uncle Jockel used to participate in the DTM, I liked 

to sit in the grandstand on the Sachs bend, and this is still 

one of the best spots for spectators on this circuit.”

“The DTM last came to Shanghai in 2004, and I secured 

third place for Audi in an Audi A4 DTM back then. I really 

liked racing on this street circuit and I am delighted that we 

are going back to China. We don’t yet have any details about 

the new circuit, so I can’t really say much about what we 

can expect there. But one thing’s for sure: a DTM final on a 

street circuit is bound to be an exciting affair.”

History: Audi in the DTM 

30 years of success 

Audi Sport has been making history for 30 years and the 

four rings stand for a string of individual victories and 

championship titles in rallying, Le Mans and touring car 

racing. The success story of Audi in the DTM began precisely 

20 years ago with the Audi V8 quattro. 

Audi won the DTM two years running, in 1990 and 1991, with the V8 quattro 

Championship win in its debut year 

Audi joined the DTM in 1990 with just a single V8 quattro 

and demonstrated its Vorsprung durch Technik straight off, 

as Hans-Joachim Stuck clinched the title with the help of 

the saloon’s outstanding quattro four-wheel drive and its 

309 kW V8 engine. There was then a repeat performance

from Audi one year later, as the newly signed Frank Biela 

won the DTM in his first year with Audi. 

Championship win with a privateer 

Audi withdrew from the DTM for a while in the 1992 season 

and it wasn’t until 2000 that the Abt Sportsline team took 

the initiative to participate in the DTM as an Audi privateer 

team. Laurent Aiello promptly won the title in 2002 in the 

Abt-Audi TT-R. 

Audi returns to steal the show 

The Audi factory-backed team returned to the DTM fold 

in 2004 with the Audi A4 DTM and went on to rack up an 

impressive score against Mercedes-Benz over the next six 

years, clinching the title no less than four times, with two 

wins each for Mattias Ekström and Timo Scheider. Overall, 

Audi has achieved seven championship wins and 52 race 

victories since 1990 and is now ranked second in the list of 

winners in the history of the event. 

There have been no less than seven wins for drivers 

participating in the DTM under the sign of the four rings 

The pretenders to the throne have set their sights on Timo Scheider, 

the number one driver with two consecutive wins under his belt
