- Daniel Abt, #ReneRast and #BenoitTreluyer put in a spectacular show in Zell am See
- Audi e-tron FE06 and #audi RS 5 DTM sideways on ice and snow
- Rally legend Stig Blomqvist drives historic #audi Sport quattro
Zell am See/Neuburg a. d. Donau, February 2, 2020 - Spectacular drifts on ice and snow: at the second running of the #gpicerace in Austria’s Zell am See, Formula E driver #danielabt and DTM champion #ReneRast tackled slippery terrain with their #audi race cars. The 1984 World Rally Champion Stig Blomqvist and triple Le Mans winner #BenoitTreluyer joined the #audi show.
Hildegard Wortmann, member of the Board of Managament responsible for marketing and sales, was present and joined #ReneRast in the #audi RS 5 DTM as well as Stig Blomqvist in the #audi Sport quattro for several fast laps. “It was an impressive experience,” she said. “It was great to see the enthusiasm of the many fans at the circuit, they were treated to a tremendous show: a unique #Event that connects the history, the present and the future of motorsport.”
After the traditional ice race in Zell am See had celebrated a revival after 45 years last year, #audi #racing drivers again treated spectators to an enthralling show. #danielabt turned several spectacular laps on snow with his #audi e-tron FE06 from the FIA Formula E and pulled the freestyle ski ace Benedikt Mayr on a rope, in traditional skijoring-style, behind his Formula E racer. “Bene is a professional skier, I drive race cars, so we had the idea to do something together here again,” said Abt. “Over time, this #Event with exciting #racing cars from several marques and eras has turned into a hot spot of the motor #racing scene. The drivers spend a great day together, there’s no competition pressure, and we give the fans a great show.”
In difficult conditions around freezing point, the two-time DTM champion #ReneRast shared driving duties in his #audi RS 5 DTM #33 with Frenchman #BenoitTreluyer. Because the DTM-Audi lacked the required traction last year on ice, the rims were now twelve centimeters narrower and significantly slimmer studded tires were fitted. “After we had adjusted the setup for the soft, deep surface and to the special tires, my run in the DTM-Audi over snow was huge fun for the fans,” reported Rast.
The spectacular display of the #audi brand was made perfect thanks to Stig Blomqvist. The former #audi factory driver, who won the World Rally Championship in 1984 in an #audi, piloted the historic #audi Sport quattro. #BenoitTreluyer drove another classic: in the skijoring #Event, the 2012 FIA World Endurance Champion towed the 1987 slalom World Champion Frank Wörndl with a historic DKW F91. Wörndl was on Willy Bogner’s original 1960 Olympic skis.
