Audi celebrated a title hat-trick in the DTM between 2007

and 2009 and in doing so became the rst manufacturer to

achieve this. Last year the brand was beaten. For this reason

the objective for the 2011 season is: The Audi A4 DTM

should nish at the front again. For this reason Audi has

rejuvenated its driver squad again.

Eleven events, including a show race in the Olympic Stadium

in Munich, are on the calendar of the highest caliber touring

car race series. While the current DTM cars enter their nal

season, the foundations for the future have been long since

set. The next generation Audi race touring car is already

being developed and should continue Audis success story in

the DTM from 2012.

The DTM aces a radical change and Audi a challenging task:

The Audi A4 DTM competes or the last time this season

since the current technical regulations, valid since the

2000 season, expire at the end o the year. The A4 DTM

should now fght or its fth championship title ater the

Swede Mattias Ekstrm (2004 and 2007) and German Timo

Scheider (2008 and 2009) each won two championships

with this model.

Ater a season in which we had to admit deeat we now

target a return to our previous orm, explains Head o

Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich. For this purpose

we will concentrate ully on exploiting the strengths o the

A4 DTM. We have also changed our driver squad and who

drives which cars and also welcome three new drivers into

the team.

Rahel Frey rom Switzerland, Filipe Albuquerque rom

Portugal and Edoardo Mortara, who has both Italian and

French citizenships, are the three newcomers at Audi. They

all competed previously in ormula racing and all contest

their frst season in touring cars. Filipe Albuquerque as

2010 Italian GT Championship runner-up in an Audi R8

LMS and Edoardo Mortara as ormer Volkswagen actory

driver and deending 2010 Formula 3 Euro Series champion

already have several years o contact with the Group.

Thanks to the new signings, the average age o the driversquad sank by six months to 27 years beore the start o the

season when compared to last year. As a result, Audi starts

with its youngest driver line-up in its DTM history. Three

proven teams enter the nine Audi A4 DTM cars again this

year. Filipe Albuquerque and Edoardo Mortara race or Audi

Sport Team Rosberg while Rahel Frey competes or Audi

Sport Team Phoenix together with her German team mate

Martin Tomczyk. The Spaniard Miguel Molina drives a fth

Audi A4 DTM rom 2008 or the Audi Sport Team Abt Junior.

Mattias Ekstrm, the Briton Oliver Jarvis and Timo Scheider

are the amiliar aces on the grid or Audi Sport Team Abt

Sportsline. Their new team mate is Mike Rockeneller. Like

his three ellow companions, the German Le Mans winner

rom last year also has a cockpit in a 2009 Audi A4 DTM.

Since car development in the DTM was also not permitted

or the 2011 season, engineers concentrate on adapting the

A4 DTM to the tires o new exclusive DTM supplier Hankook.

Being developed in parallel is the successor, christened

internally R17, which should continue Audis success story

in the DTM rom 2012. The new model will establish new

standards worldwide in passive saety in touring cars.

Last year a total o 685,498 spectators ollowed the elevenDTM races at trackside and an average o 1.2 million ans

watched every live broadcast o the races in Germany. In

2011 the DTM stages eleven attractive events including the

inaugural show event at the Munich Olympic Stadium.

The race drivers had an average age

of27 at the start of the season.It is the youngest driver line-up in

Audis DTM history

Once exoticmaterials inmotorsport and now mass produced

for the assembly line

An essential basis or motorsport at Audi is the beneft or

the end user, the Audi customer and motorist. Motorsport

was and is always a medium or Audi to develop

technologies with a promising uture, stresses Head o

Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich. In this way rally and

racing cars, which always also contained technologies o

direct beneft or the customer, have been developed ormore than 30 years in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm.

Example 1: The our-wheel drive quattro that was developed

or a World Rally Championship program was introduced

in 1982 into large-scale production. Audi also proved the

superiority o this drivetrain system in the DTM at the

beginning o the 1990s. To this day customers beneft rom

the actual dynamic handling advantages and not only on

snow and ice.

Example 2: In material technology feld, motorsport

enjoys the advantage o being able to test components

manuactured in low quantities rom exotic materials

without being subjected to the cost pressures ound in

large-scale production. Audi initially introduced aluminum

to engine and suspension design in rallying at the beginning

o the 1980s, beore the light metal ound avor in large-scale production. Even carbon-fber three decades ago

still an exotic material in race cars like the Audi 200 quattro

Trans-Am and today used in many areas in the Audi A4

DTM is now mass-produced within the concern. The sot

top storage compartment and side panels o the R8 Spyder

are, or example, manuactured rom carbon-fber.

Example 3: Since the 1980s environmental technologies

are also used simultaneously in competition and large-scale

production. Catalytic converter manuacture suppliers used

production to the benet of the end user

developments or heat shields which were tested in the

Audi 90 quattro raced in the IMSA GTO series. The Audi V8

quattro rom 1990 was the frst Audi competition car with a

race catalytic converter. Motorsport acted as pioneer or thecombination o turbocharging and gasoline direct injection

ater the TFSI power unit in the Audi R8 sports prototype

proved victorious frst time out at the 24 Hours o Le Mans

in 2001. A ew months later it was introduced into large-

scale production at Audi, acilitates uel savings and reduces

carbon dioxide emissions and thus millionold in public road

trac.

Example 4: Audi writes history in large-scale production

since 1989 as inventor o TDI technology. The more ecient

and particularly clean diesel direct injection makes a

signifcant contribution to sinking CO2 emissions. In 2006

at Le Mans Audi became the worlds frst manuacturer

to claim overall victory in the 24 hour race using diesel

technology. Extreme injection and ignition pressures,

structural solutions in the crankcase or with the pistonsand injector technology development are areas in which

Audi practices a direct transer between motorsport and

production. The most recent development or Le Mans, the

Audi R18, is equipped with a 3.7 liter V6 TDI. The principle

o downsizing, rapidly gaining increasing importance in

street cars, is also now implemented in the R18 and helps in

the search or solutions under extreme demands.

The our-wheel drive quattro has its roots in rallying

Two future projects on the horizon

Audi Sport was established more than three decades

ago and is today still aliated with Audis Technical

Development (TE) department. Be it rallying, touring

cars o every type or sports cars: The Sport department

has celebrated important victories and won numerous

championship titles in every discipline in which it has

competed. Audi has tackled 18 dierent motorsport

projects between 1980 and today. Currently around

200 employees at the Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm sites areresponsible or the development and testing o the race

cars. The Doctor o Mechanical Engineering Dr. Wolgang

Ullrich is Head o Audi Sport is since 1993.

Program with two priorities

While quattro GmbH develops the Audi customer sport cars

since the beginning o 2011, Audi Sport concentrates on the

race cars destined or actory programs in touring car and

prototype racing. In 2011 this is no less than our dierent

race cars. The Audi R15 TDI competed in its fnal evolution

step at Sebring in March. Parallel to this Audi Sport

develops the R18 or all remaining Intercontinental Le Mans

Cup (ILMC) events. The coup is designed with the uture in

mind and was planned or electrifcation o the drivetrain.

Furthermore, in 2011 the next touring car rom Audi Sport,

reerred to internally as R17, is developed and tested and

should fght or the DTM title in 2012.

Lightweight design is core know-how at Audi

0 percent weight reduction since 00

The Audi A4 DTM competes in its highest evolution orm

in 2011 beore new regulations come into orce in 2012.

Although any kind o technical evolutions are prohibited

since August 17, 2009 to maintain cost eciency, Audi

made signifcant progress beorehand during the live cycle

o each o the individual A4 DTM generations since 2004.

Lightweight design and construction, a core talent at Audi,

are o equal importance in motorsport and large-scale

production. The basic weight o a DTM touring car was

reduced by more than 20 percent. Aim o the exercise:

The ballast required to reach the minimum weight can be

arranged in dierent positions in the car to achieve the best

possible weight distribution.

The cars center o gravity, which inuences the dynamic

behavior, was reduced by more than ten percent during

this period. Notable: Both targets were achieved without

compromising the crucial torsional stiness o the chassis.

The aerodynamic characteristics o the dierent A4

generations have also improved considerably. In motorsport

the ratio between air resistance and downorce

aerodynamic eciency is important. It was improved bymore than 20 percent.

The Audi A4 DTM was improved signifcantly since 2004

Audi actory driver

Timo Scheider (D) Did you know that

Timo Scheider was the best Audi driver in the DTM or the

third season in succession last year. The season nevertheless

went disappointingly: Fourth in the standings or the 2008

and 2009 championship winner was anything but a dream

result. In the second hal o the season his orm improved

signicantly, victory rom 15th on the grid at Adria remains

a sensational result or both team and driver.

The direction or 2011 is clear: Together with Audi Sport

Team Abt Sportsline Timo Scheider, who lives with girlriend

Jessica Hinterseer in Lochau, Austria, would want to ght

or the title as he did in previous seasons.

Timo Scheider won Stean Raabs Stock Car Crash

Challenge in the winter and took part in the Wok World

Championship?

the versatile race driver started the 24 Hours o Le Mans

or the rst time in his lie during the 2010 season?

in addition to his own discipline, he also ollows karting,

biathlon, soccer and boxing?

he has a weakness or watches, mobile telephones and

sunglasses?

When the DTM was newly established for the 2000

season those responsible proved to be courageous and

possess great vision: Contrary to all international trends

the responsible committees devised regulations that

permitted equally spectacular and safe race cars, opened

the path to cost-eective engines through long service

lives and with standard components scotched a technical

escalation in various areas (propshafts, gearboxes, brakes

and tires).

In an economically strained environment the DTM

reacted by introducing another intelligent step: Technical

development is frozen since 2009, however, the sport

remains just as exciting as before but with lower costs.

This proven system is replaced in 2012 by technical

regulations which will set entirely new safety standards

internationally.

Open and packed paddocks

Fans are the focus of attention

With all due progress the series has never forgotten its

roots: Since 1984 the DTM epitomizes accessible sport

open paddocks for the fans, fair admission prices,

autograph sessions with the stars and, in the meantime,

a view of the teams at work during a pit walk through the

pit lane. An attractive supporting program comprisedof other races and concerts in the pit lane attracts large

crowds.

Positive and broad public awareness

The DTM once again achieved great public awareness:

62,318 fans visited the races; a total of 685,500 spectators

followed the DTM races at trackside. An average of

1.2 million motorsport fans followed the races broadcast on

TV screens by ARD.

Series with German roots and international impact

The DTM has its roots in Germany and has for years now a

calendar of great international air. This year races in Great

Britain, the Netherlands, Spain and a return to Austria are

on the agenda. Seven events in Germany, including the

inaugural show race at the Olympic Stadium in Munich,

remain the core events.

Zandvoort (NL)

Timo Scheider

In my opinion Zandvoort is the most challenging track

on the calendar. There is every type of corner; its as if

they were made for a DTM car: extremely quick sections

through which you feel the aerodynamic downforce, slow

corners, and also kerbs which you have to drive across hard.

The second third of the track has been resurfaced more

recently than the rest of the track. When you arrive at the

slower corners in the nal third of the track you have to be

careful not to overdrive the car and lose time. Traditionally

the best overtaking place is at the end of the start-nish

straight braking for Tarzanbocht. An issue that only exists

at Zandvoort is the wind from the North Sea and the sand

from the dunes. The combination of both makes it dicult

to predict track conditions.

Martin Tomczyk

I raced three times at Spielberg. The circuit was very

picturesque and rural. I always felt at home there. It

was a great track. Then the reconstruction stage came

during which it was never sure whether the circuit would

survive. Luckily its on the calendar again. Its great to be

going back there again. Im particularly looking forward

to the challenging circuit layout. The altitude dierences

were something special beforehand. Itll be fantastic

to drive through the rst corner and to look up the long

straight all the way to the second corner. There used to

be a church behind it I hope its still there. You could

even see cows there. There were more than enough

photo opportunities! Its great fun to drive through such

a picturesque landscape.

We race at a state-of-the-art facility in the Lausitz. Its

enormous, which is why you dont really notice the great

crowds of people. The fans there are very faithful to

the DTM. This modern circuit is very safe for us drivers,

and the wide pit lane give the teams advantages while

working. I have good memories of last year when I was

best Audi driver there. The low grip oered by the track

surface is very noticeable. The braking and mechanical

grip for traction is particularly important there. The

aerodynamic set-up is also important in the long right-

hand corner in the second part of the circuit. You can

overtake after this corner, and also under braking for the

following left-hand corner as well as after the start-

nish line.

The atmosphere at this historical venue is simply

incomparable at a motorsport event like the DTM. Because

the fans can sit in the middle we quite literally drive around

them a very unusual but great feeling. The track surface

is very special: Normal roads and car parks mean that the

grip levels dier enormously. It is also quite bumpy. It is

one of the best tracks for overtaking on the calendar: You

can attack out of the slip stream going into turn 1 and also

before the nal corner. I have fond memories of the track.

Nrburgring (D)

Rahel Frey

The rst corner is special. Braking is important; the

compression in this corner is something that Im only

aware of at the Nrburgring. Its important to take as much

momentum as possible at this point. A double-left follows.

You have to be patient here as its easy to overdrive the carif you want too much. The circuit short cut, which is o

camber, follows afterwards. After a left and a right corner

the track then heads towards a fast curve that is followed

by a chicane which slows us down. Ill have to attack the

kerbs in the chicane with the DTM car. In Formula 3 a lot is

asked of the tires on this track. Im intrigued to see whether

this phenomenon is also apparent in a DTM car. My smooth

driving style should help me at the Nrburgring. I really like

the track.

Brands Hatch (GB)

Oliver Jarvis

Brands Hatch is the shortest track on the calendar, but

it is also very technical and extremely dicult to achieve

a perfect lap. There arent many corners, but every small

mistake costs you dearly because the margins in qualifying

are so small. Often only thousandths of a second separateus. Brands Hatch is one of my favorite tracks and Paddock

Hill bend is one of best corners in the world. When you

come over the crest you cant see the apex. The track then

drops away. You have to exit this corner very cleanly if

you are to have any chance of attacking under braking in

the uphill section before Druids. This is the best point to

overtake. The spectators can see almost every corner from

the grandstands.

Oschersleben (D)

Filipe Albuquerque

I won the last time I raced at Oschersleben in a junior

series. The track is very technical and large number of

long bends turns 1, 3 and 4 are very challenging. The

chicane is dicult because you have to be able to assess

exactly how to drive over the kerbs. Itll certainly be totallydierent in a DTM car than before with a formula car. The

tarmac was very gentle to the tires on my race car when

Ive driven there, but it can be totally dierent in touring

car racing. Overtaking is very dicult around this track. The

rst and the sixth corner are probably most suitable corners

to attack, and not forgetting the entry to the S on the

back straight. If you make a small mistake you are quickly

overtaken yourself.

I really hope to be able to welcome lots of spectators

as there is such a fantastic atmosphere at this track. As

a driver the most unusual feature is the anti-clockwise

driving direction the majority of the tracks run in

exactly the other direction. The rst and eighth cornersare particularly fast, while the braking points at the

second and last corner are very important. Overtaking is

most likely in the nal corner, maybe also in the second

corner. I have good memories of my home race because

of the great battle I had with Gary Paett last year. I

learnt a huge amount, which was also of great benet

throughout the rest of the season.

Rally cars, Pikes Peak hillclimb, US race cars, Le Mans sportscars or touring cars: Wherever Audi has competed drivers

have celebrated victories and championships in the sign

of the four rings. Audi is involved as factory for more than

30 years, the success story in the DTM started with the V8

quattro 21 years ago.

Legendary V8 eraAudi cleans up big time with the large V8 quattro: In 1990

and 1991, the rst two years, the championship title went

to Ingolstadt courtesy of Hans-Joachim Stuck and Frank

Biela. The 309 kW (420 hp) V8 engines and four-wheel

drive quattro were the combination to beat. The Limousine

The Audi V8 quattro took Hans-Joachim Stuck and Frank Biela to the championship title in 1990 and 1991 respectively

celebrated 19 single race wins before Audi withdrew in1992.

Intermezzo with the TT-R

Following Audis temporary withdrawal the four rings were

represented by team Abt Sportsline in the DTM between

2000 and 2003. Laurent Aiello pulled o the feat of

winning the 2002 title for the private team.

Four titles or the A4 DTMAudi has put its trust in the A4 DTM since returning to the

DTM in the 2004 season. It has won the title four times in

seven years and is the most successful DTM touring car of

this era as a result. Mattias Ekstrm won the title in 2004

and 2007; Timo Scheider followed suit in 2008 and 2009.

As a consequence Audi was also the rst manufacturer to

celebrate a hat-trick after winning three consecutive DTM

championship titles. Prior to the 2011 season the A4 DTM has

scored 27 of the 54 race victories claimed by Audi in the DTM.

Timo Scheider is credited with two championship titles in 2009

he successully deended the title he won the previous year

scored by Audi in the DTM
