Audi Press Release
Audi, BMW and Mercedes-Benz prepared themselves for the final
spurt in the DTM beginning at Oschersleben on September 15 with a three-day
test at Red Bull Ring in Spielberg.
Rain showers on all three days hindered the
test programs of all three manufacturers to such an extent that the results and
lap times should be treated with caution. Testing for Audi were championship
leader Mike Rockenfeller, the double DTM champion Mattias Ekström and for the
first time sportscar driver Lucas di Grassi and youngster Nico Müller. The two
DTM newcomers quickly settled in the team and gave the Audi Sport technicians
interesting opinions and feedback about the Audi RS 5 DTM. All four drivers
were in action on all three days and completed a total of about 2,700 test
kilometers.
