gennaio 11, 2022 - ABT Sportline
New “Dream Team” in the DTM
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
For the fans of ABT Sportsline, the new motorsport year begins with great news: three-time DTM champion #renerast (35/D) will be the team mate of #kelvinvanderlinde (25/ZA), who won four races in his first DTM season last year and only just missed out on the title in the end.
“We started putting out feelers towards René early on,” says ABT CEO and team principal #thomasbiermaier. “In terms of the DTM, we know his strengths as an opponent. In Formula E, we got to know and appreciate him even better last season. We are extremely grateful to his management with #dennisrostek and Audi Sport that it worked out and that we can begin the title fight with a real dream team in 2022.”
“We’ve always narrowly missed out on the drivers’ title in the DTM in recent seasons,” says #hansjurgenabt. “With this strong driver pairing, there can only be one goal: to finally bring the title back to Kempten.”
Shooting star in the DTM with three championship titles
René Rast came to the DTM late and literally overnight, but turned out to be a shooting star. In his first full DTM season, he won the championship as a rookie in 2017. In 2018, he was only four points short of successfully defending the title. Rast became the champion again in 2019 and 2020. With his three championship titles, 24 wins, 20 pole positions, 14 fastest laps and 1,113 points, the super talent advanced to become the most successful Audi DTM driver of all time in just four years. In the all-time DTM record book, he is on a par with racing legend Klaus Ludwig. Only Bernd Schneider has more DTM titles.
“I’m very happy to be returning to the DTM after a year’s break,” says the three-time champion, who lives with his wife and child in Bregenz, Austria – only about an hour’s drive from ABT Sportsline’s headquarters. “I never lost my desire for the DTM. Audi wanted me to concentrate fully on Formula E last season. I was on site at a few DTM races. I liked what I saw.”
For the record-breaking driver, ABT Sportsline was a logical choice: “I will have almost the same crew from Formula E in the DTM. My engineer will remain the same, as will my chief mechanic and some of the mechanics. We are a super well-coordinated team. It just made sense to continue together.”
