Who saw this one coming? After his most successful year in the DTM, 2011 Champion Martin Tomczyk will no longer compete for Audi. Tomczyk has been racing for Audi in the DTM for 11 years. In 2001, he signed with the ABT Sportline Jr. team at 19 years old. He finished 13th overall that year. Over the years he would move up and down the chart until 2007 where he placed 3rd overall.

After winning the drivers title with Martin Tomczyk the brand with the four rings has decided the DTM qualifying duel in its favor as well. The Spaniard Miguel Molina gave Audi the fifth consecutive pole position in the finale at the Hockenheimring (Sunday starting at 1:45 p.m. – local time – on “Das Erste”). This means that all the best times posted in qualifying during the second half of the season went to Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline that can still secure first place in the team standings on Sunday as well.

The Spa 24 Hours a week ago was no doubt the more strenuous one. I was really bushed afterward. But I’ve got to say my joy of having won was greater at the DTM at the Nurburgring. Continue reading ‘Interview with Audi’s Mattias Ekstrom’
Today, ABT Sportsline dropped the cloth on their Beetle program. Photoshops have been out there and VWVortex had a go at one. As the air-cooled Beetle was an agile fun car, the ABT Sportsline “Speedle” Beetle will live up to that. Power upgrades will be available for the VW TSI and TDI options. The 2.0 L Turbo should see 240 horsepower. Sitting on 19″ ABT CR wheels with a strong visual stance outs it where VW should have, firmly on the pavement. New body work complete the already aggressive styling. Continue reading ‘Presenting the ABT Sportsline Beetle’

Mattias Ekstrom was the best Audi driver in qualifying for the DTM race at the Norisring. Quotes from the Audi camp after the battle for thousandths of a second.
Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich (Head of Audi Motorsport)
“Qualifying didn’t go according to our expectations. At the Norisring we’re traditionally having a difficult time – and that was again the case in today’s qualifying although the times were very close together. Small things made the difference and we didn’t manage to get everything perfectly right. ‘Eki’ at least made it into the top four. But the race isn’t until tomorrow. We’ll be giving everything.” Continue reading ‘Quotes from Audi after qualifying at DTM Norisring’
Once again, Audi has a tough one ahead of them this weekend at the Norisring. This is their home circuit and they have not won here since 2002. Laurent Aiello was the winner of that race driving the no1 Abt-Audi TT-R.
The weekend started off pretty good for Audi with a 1-2 in the first practice session on Friday. Top three cars in the 48′s. The second test proved to be pretty good with a 4-5-6-7 and all eighteen cars in the 48′s. Wow. Continue reading ‘Mattias Ekstrom 4th in qualifying at DTM Norisring’
“The Norisring has always been tough terrain for us in recent years. Although we often came close it never worked out completely. Maybe we’ll be able to use the many good results we’ve scored as tailwind to finally clinch victory at the Norisring – the large crowd of Audi people lining the circuit would certainly be pleased to see that. And we’ll give everything to make it happen.” Continue reading ‘DTM : Audi’s perspective as they head to Norisring’
