Audi Press Release

  • Total of twelve races at six DTM events
  • Five rounds in Germany, one in Austria
Ingolstadt, December 10, 2014 – The calendar for the Audi Sport TT Cup has been finalized. The new Audi one-make cup will be held together with the DTM a total of six times in its inaugural year of 2015. Two races per event are planned. 

The season will start on the first weekend in May at the DTM opener at Hockenheim. At the end of June, the Audi Sport TT Cup will join one of the most popular DTM events, the Norisring race in Nuremberg. In August, the new one-make cup will visit the Red Bull Ring in Austria. In September, the calendar features two events, at the etropolis Motorsport Arena Oschersleben and at the Nürburgring. The finale will be held at Hockenheim in the middle of October.

“The participants, partners and fans of the Audi Sport TT Cup can look forward to six superb events as part of the DTM,” says Project Leader Rolf Michl. “The German rounds have traditionally been held in front of a great crowd. And the Red Bull Ring in Austria typically attracts a very large number of spectators as well.”

165 drivers from 30 nations have applied for Audi’s new one-make cup. 18 slots will be permanently awarded by quattro GmbH in spring of 2015. Six other cockpits will be filled with changing guest drivers.
