The #DTM highlights of the Audi Team Directors
Thomas Biermaier, Team Director of Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, mentions a Norisring race as his most defining #DTM moment, too: “That was in 2002, when Laurent Aiello overtook Bernd Schneider in the last turn. Before this race, I’d slipped into the role of team manager and the pressure was very high. But with good pit stops and victory, the risk paid off for me and, as a result, in a way marked the beginning of my career path with ABT. Besides many other moments, our first championship title in 2002, at Zandvoort, was unforgettable as well.”
Ernst Moser from Audi Sport Team Phoenix describes Valencia 2011 as his personal #DTM highlight: “Martin Tomczyk in a previous-generation car and the newly entered sponsor Schaeffler clinched the title early in the penultimate race with a dream season. Also, the cars lined up on the grids at Hockenheim and at the Norisring in front of a full house are always particularly impressive moments for me – that used to and continues to produce goose bumps galore and makes me proud to be part of the #DTM.”
Arno Zensen, Team Director of Audi Sport Team Rosberg, looks back even further: “I’ll never forget my first race as #DTM Team Director in 1995, at Hockenheim. In Klaus Ludwig and Keke Rosberg we had a dream team and I was worried that we might soon be ridiculed as a show squad. But right in the first race, in third position, we clinched a podium. Incredible of course was the fact that in 2017, with a 21-point deficit, we traveled to the finale at Hockenheim and, with our rookie, René Rast, we also won the drivers’ title in addition to the teams’ title. That experience, after having to compete with previous-generation cars in the #DTM for many years, was awesome.”
The personal top 10 of the Head of Audi Motorsport
Head of #audimotorsport Dieter Gass in his younger years had ambitions of becoming a #DTM driver himself. “During the years of my participation in the Renault 5 Cup and the Clio Cup, the races in the DTM’s supporting program were always the highlight,” he says. However, Gass ultimately decided to pursue a career as an engineer. Having kept track of the #DTM practically from day one, he has compiled a personal top 10 list of Events that came to mind on the occasion of the 500th #DTM race: “Winning all three titles in 2017 at Hockenheim with René Rast as a rookie champion was a very special moment, but so were the first #DTM title for Audi in 1990 with Hans-Joachim Stuck or the 2013 title win with Mike Rockenfeller in my first year as Head of #DTM at Audi Sport, plus the top eight spots on the grid in Hungary, in 2017, as well as, most recently, the repetition of this feat at Brands Hatch that had been unique up until that time.”
“Obviously, some critical things come to mind, too, such as ‘Push him out,’ René Rast’s accident last year at the Lausitzring, the crankshaft affair in 1992 that drove Audi out of the #DTM for many years, the water bottle at the Norisring, Barcelona 2007 when all Audi cars remaining in the race turned into the pit lane and, last but not least, Spielberg 2016 and 2017: there, in two consecutive years and in the same turn, a transmission problem ruined Jamie Green’s race while he was leading and potentially the championship, too. “
Audi has contested 304 of the 498 #DTM races – including the starts with privateer drivers before 1990, even 311. 108 victories, 330 podiums, 99 pole positions, 107 fastest laps, ten drivers’ titles, six teams’ titles and four manufacturers’ titles are credited to the brand with the four rings.
Before the 500th #DTM race on Sunday, championship points will also be awarded at the Lausitzring on Saturday. Both races, as usual, will start at 1.30 PM, German TV channel SAT.1 will start airing live coverage from the Lausitzring on Saturday and Sunday starting at 1 PM (CEST). The race track is located some 120 kilometers south of Berlin. Tickets for the #Event are available online at www.audi.com/DTM.
