MediaIno Audi A4 DTM
Foreword
Contents
Having marked its 100th anniversary with its third consecutive DTM win last year, there can only be one goal for Audi in 2010: for the fourth time in a row, the new DTM champion should be behind the wheel of an A4 DTM. It goes without saying that, together with the DTM, the committed car manufacturers are focusing on eciency to achieve this goal. But something that does deserve to be mentioned explicitly is the fact that Audi has the potential to cut its costs by up to 30 per cent (not including accidentrelated repair costs) – a feat which is unparalleled around the world. There will be no reduction in the excitement of the DTM, however, with this, the most illustrious touring car racing series there is, set to deliver top-notch motorsports action on ten occasions once again this year.

Can Audi clinch its fourth consecutive title in the 2010 DTM? Audi was involved in the DTM as a factory team from 1990 to 1992, and returned to the fold in 2004. It is now into its tenth season in Europe’s most popular touring car racing series. Over the years, the Audi team has won the DTM title no less than six times, not to mention a seventh title in the 2002 season together with the Abt Sportsline privateer team. Having made history last year by achieving a hattrick, Audi now intends to be behind this year’s champion for the fourth time in a row row.. To achieve this feat, Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich has put together the company’s youngest ever team of DTM drivers. Eight of the
nine drivers, which include the current champions Mattias Ekström and Timo Scheider, Scheider, have been part of the Audi team before. The newcomer is the Spaniard Miguel Molina who, at 21 years of age, brings the drivers’ average age down to 27.5 years old ahead of the next season. The nine Audi A4 DTM being driven by the familiar teams Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, Audi Sport Team Phoenix and Audi Sport Team Rosberg are characterised by their excellent eciency. A development freeze implemented in the DTM in August 2009 will by no means detract from the

thrills of top-class motorsport, but does have the potential to reduce the constructors’ costs by up to 30 percent (not including accident-related repair costs). Mike Rockenfeller and Alexandre Prémat for Audi Sport Team Phoenix and Katherine Legge and Markus Winkelhock for Audi Sport Team Rosberg will once again get behind the wheel of the 2008 model of the Audi A4 DTM, which is internally referred to as the R14. This model is also being prepared by Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline for their driver Miguel Molina, while its four other drivers, Timo Scheider, Oliver Jarvis, Mattias Ekström and Martin Tomczyk, will be driving the R14 plus model of 2009. “The DTM has achieved something rather special by taking this step to reduce costs,” costs,” emphasises Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich. “The technical regulations have remained essentially unchanged, so the underlying conditions have remained stable. It is therefore quite rare for so much potential to make savings to be initiated in topclass motorsport whilst nevertheless delivering the same high standards of sport as ever.” Once again in the 2010 season, Europe’s most popular touring car racing series will comprise ten races between
April and October. Six of these will be hosted in Germany, with one each also in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK. The DTM is also gearing up for its second trip to China (the largest single foreign market for Audi) since 2004, with the 2010 nal scheduled to take place on the streets of Shanghai. The DTM intends to continue its success story in its eleventh season since being relaunched in 2000 by oering the spectators aordable admission fees, giving fans direct access to the drivers’ paddock and the drivers themselves, and with all sorts of other attractive features that contribute to a comprehensive supporting programme. programme. Last year, 718,000 fans at the venues and an average of 2.11 million TV spectators in Germany watched Timo Scheider work his way to his second consecutive title win.

Technology transfer and eciency for the direct benet of the customers Technology transfer, eciency and sustainability – these are Technology more than merely buzzwords, and have been the mainstays of Audi’s motorsport programme for the past 30 years. “For Audi, motorsport is and always has been a means with which to further technologies with a lot of promise for the future,” Head of Audi Motorsport Dr Wolfgang Ullrich stresses. Ever since the eighties, quattro has stood for a whole lot more than merely a technical system. Audi put this four-wheel drive technology to the test in motorsport (both in rallying and in the DTM) and helped it on its way to its introduction into all model series, thus instigating a paradigm shift. Other manufacturers, manufacturers, such as Audi’s main

technologies
designed to boost eciency have been transposed rom motorsport to mass production by Audi
competitors in today’s premium segment, were forced to follow suit on witnessing the technological and economic success the technology brought Audi. By the end of 2009, Audi had made more than 3.2 million vehicles with quattro four-wheel drive, which is very fast and stable and therefore contributes to the safety oered by the vehicle. There have also been transfer eects in the eld of materials technology which are still making an impact to this day. For example, back in 1983, Audi developed its rst all-aluminium engine for its Audi Sport quattro. Today, Today, lightweight construction is one of Audi’s core areas of expertise und aluminium is a valuable resource with which to improve the eciency of production vehicles by reducing their weight. Aluminium is now an integral part of many Audi models, be it in the Audi Space Frame (ASF), chassis components, bodywork bodywork elements or in all sorts of other
Lightweight construction such as the aluminium ASF in the R is a core area of Audi expertise
applications. Even carbon bre-reinforced plastic (CFRP), which was a highly unusual material used in racing cars such as the Audi 200 quattro in the eighties, is now regularly used in Audi production vehicles, for example in the soft top compartment of the R8 Spyder. The debut of the TFSI engine in the Audi R8 sports car in Le Mans and its rst victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2001 paved the way for the introduction of petrol direct injection into mass production. To this day, millions of vehicles on the road are helping to reduce carbon dioxide emissions because they make substantial fuel savings with this technology. Starting in 1989, Audi began to revolutionise the construction of engines for mass production with TDI
technology, a top-class, high-performance and especially technology, clean form of diesel direct injection that contributes greatly to reducing CO2 emissions. And in 2006, Audi made history with this technology in Le Mans, becoming the rst automobile manufacturer in the world to win the 24-hour race with a diesel engine. Extreme injection pressures of 2,000 bar, the development of injector technology, and fundamental construction-related ndings are just some of the areas in which direct technology transfers between mass production and motorsport have paid o. In addition, Audi has implemented specic measures to protect the environment with the help of its partners: light, highperformance diesel particulate lters made by Dow, which were subsequently made available to end users a few years further down the line, and extra clean GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels and fuels f uels with BTL (biomass-to-liquid) proportions have made a direct and considerable contribution to environmental environment al protection.
The famous quattro four-wheel drive was developed for motorsport and is now also standard in series production models

30 years of success Audi Sport was founded 30 years ago and is aliated to Audi’s Technical Technical Development (TE) division under the auspices of Board Member Michael Dick. The division has celebrated cel ebrated victories and won numerous titles around the world in all the disciplines it has entered, be it in relation to rallying, touring cars of any kind or sports cars. Audi has realised 16 dierent racing projects since 1980 and the division currently counts some 200 employees involved in the research and development of racing cars at its sites in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Qualied mechanical engineer Dr Wolfgang Ullrich has been the head of Audi Sport since 1993. Three pillars of motorsport Audi has been involved in sports car racing since the 1999 season and, with eight Le Mans victories under its belt, is once again rising to the biggest endurance racing challenges around in the 2010 season, with its advanced R15 TDI. Audi has also been involved in the DTM since 2004, in which it has won four titles in six years, including a hat-trick
The Audi A DTM is one of three Audi Sport racing cars
between 2007 and 2009. The automobile manufacturer then established a third pillar in the 2009 season with the Audi R8 LMS, its rst ready-to-run privateer racing car, which won three titles in its debut season as well as 23 out of 76 races. A dedicated privateer centre was inaugurated in Ingolstadt in the spring of 2010 in order to secure supplies for 30 privateer vehicles delivered around the world, with all the teams beneting from the company’s international logistics structure for the delivery of spare parts.

An extraordinary season for an unbeaten concept After two DTM title wins, the Audi A4 DTM comprising the R14 and R14 plus model generations (2008 and 2009 respectively) remains remains unbeaten and will line up to compete again in 2010. But this time, it will be without the usual technological advances, as a result of the development freeze imposed on all the DTM manufacturers. The technological development of the vehicles has been all but
entirely prohibited since 17 August 2009, with a view to maximising the series’ economic eciency. This also applies to the engines, which were sealed for the entire season at the beginning of 2009. One nal detail, namely the choice of dampers, was codied on 1 March 2010. Audi has three aerodynamic congurations congurations that were developed prior to the introduction of the development freeze, each of which

is used depending on the racetrack in question. As far as chassis kinematics are concerned, only the camber camber,, toe and vehicle height may now be adjusted. The usual computergenerated simulations are therefore now only of limited use and Audi now focuses its testing activities on the optimum use of Dunlop tyres. In order to ascertain whether the manufacturers are complying with the new regulations, each manufacturer has been required by the German Motorsport Federation (DMSB) to put together a set of reference parts in a discrete sealed container provided by the DMSB, which is then taken to every race. The DMSB has also been furnished with CAD records of the vehicles’ construction. The stipulated minimum weight of the 2009 vehicles remains unchanged at 1,050 kilograms including the driver driver,, while the regulations prescribe that the 2008 models must each weigh at least 1,025 kilograms. The rule stipulating that the ballast weight is dependent on the vehicle’s previous rankings no longer applies this year. Together, all of the framework conditions promise to deliver one thing above all, and that is the same level of thrilling sport as ever coupled with substantial budget relief. Because in addition to reducing development costs, there is now no

longer any need to create a new generation of vehicles (usually four) every season. Mattias Ekström, Martin Tomczyk, Tomczy k, Markus Winkelhock and Alexandre Prémat will all be using the same racing cars as in 2009. Mike Rockenfeller will take to the wheel of Oliver Jarvis’s former car, while Oliver Jarvis inherits Tom Kristensen’s Kristensen’s car. DTM newcomer Miguel Molina will drive the A4 used by Katherine Legge from Great Britain last year, as she takes control of the vehicle vacated by Mike Rockenfeller. Defending champion Timo Scheider will drive an A4 DTM with the chassis number R14 plus 606. Sizeable savings are also being achieved in the eld of engine construction, as two vehicles will once again share a maximum of three engines between them for the duration of the season. Audi will tackle the 2010 season with reworked versions of the approxim approximately ately 340-kilowatt V8 engine, as long as this ts in with the engines’ respective maintenance schedules. Consequently, no entirely new engines are being built this year. This all ultimately means that the fans will see the same attractive racing cars as last year while the development budget is markedly relieved.
With two consecutive wins, the R14 and R14 plus model generations o the Audi A4 DTM are currently

Audi is anticipating major savings potential for the 2010 season as a whole, with a reduction of up to 30 per cent in the cost of elding the nine Audi A4 DTM (not including accident-related repair costs). The development freeze marks a hiatus in an impressive development process which has seen Audi achieve some major improvements in eciency between the rst generation of the Audi A4 DTM – the R11 in 2004 – and the most recent R14 plus. For example, the basic vehicle weight not including ballast weight has been reduced by more than 20 per cent, while the torsional rigidity has remained unchanged. The vehicle’s centre of gravity has been lowered by more than 10 per cent and the aerodynamic eciency – the ratio of drag to downforce – has been improved by the developers by more than 20 per cent. The Audi A4 DTM has never been more ecient.

Audi factory driver Markus Winkelhock (D) This is Markus Winkelhock’s Winkelhock’s third season as an Audi factory driver in the DTM. Last year, the cheerful Swabian from Berglen-Steinach Berglen-St einach to the north-east of Stuttgart came tenth overall and was the second-best Audi driver of a year-old car. He was also one of an Audi quartet at the front of the pack on two occasions – at the opening race in Hockenheim and again at the Nürburgring. And this year, he wants to go even further and hopes to be the fastest used car driver on the grid. He is a professional racing driver for Audi Sport Team Rosberg and has a new DTM colleague, Katherine Legge, in the 2010 season.

Audi Sport Team Rosberg 1982 Formula 1 champion Keke Rosberg established a racing team of his own at the end of 1994, which has gone on to make a name for itself in touring car and formula racing. Its most outstanding achievements include its victory in the German Formula 3 Championship of 2002 with Gary Paett, while Keke’s son, Nico, started his career in motorsport with the Rosberg team before becoming a regular on the Formula 1 circuit. The team was regularly involved in the “old” DTM in the
90s, with drivers such as Klaus Ludwig and Hans Stuck, and has participated in the “new” DTM right from the start. In 2005, the team turned its attentions entirely to formula racing, but returned to the DTM fold as an Audi factory team in 200. Since 2009, it has also engaged in endurance racing with an Audi R8 LMS. Audi Sport Team Rosberg has 24 employees for the DTM in 2010. The team is based in Neustadt an der Weinstraße and is managed by Arno Zensen.

Eleventh season even less cost-intensive In its eleventh outing since its relaunch in 2000, the DTM will once again oer a fascinating mix this year: two premium car brands with six teams, established racing drivers of international renown and up-and-coming youngsters, and high tech combined with cost control all add up to excellent and accessible sport. Because as professional as it has become, the racing series has never turned its back on its roots stretching back to 194, to which it can attribute its huge fan base. The spectators are, always have been and always will be an integral part of the series’ success story, so week after week they are given the opportunity to experience motorsport hands-on thanks to very fair admission prices, autograph sessions, an open drivers’ paddock and a pit walk for an up-close view of the teams. 2010 DTM costs lowered even urther

This development freeze remains in place for the 2010 season too, but the event nevertheless promises to be as good and as thrilling as ever with cars from 200 and 2009.
The live DTM TV reports attracted an average
2.11

TV viewers per weekend in Germany in 2009
Increasingly international
For some time now, the DTM has been able to boast an international squad of drivers and an attractive European calendar of events. And this year, it is going one step further – in addition to six races in Germany and three elsewhere in Europe (in Spain, the Netherlands and the UK), for the second time in its history, the DTM will be venturing further aeld to Shanghai, where the DTM nal is scheduled to take place on 31 October 2010. Impressive media numbers and a strong advertising efect
The DTM concept is very well received, as borne out by these gures: the races were attended by no less than 71,000 fans last year and the event’s TV partner, the German channel ARD, recorded average viewer numbers of 2.11 million during qualifying sessions and the event races.
For years, the DTM has achieved six-gure spectator numbers at two o its events

“Driving at Hockenheim is always a great feeling. And when the season gets underway, everyone obviously wants to know how they are ranked. This is traditionally a strong venue and competing in front of a full-capacity audience is always a real thrill for a professional racing driver. The set-up of a racing car at Hockenheim requires a degree of compromise. It takes a very stable car to take corners at high speeds such as on the rst corner, when entering the Motodrom section and when negotiating the last two corners. On the other hand, you need very good mechanical grip to get round the very tight corners such as the Spitzkehre hairpin bend. The best opportunities to overtake are just after the Parabolika section and two corners later in the tight left-hand bend.”

“Driving in Valencia is quite something – rstly because it is obviously the rst time the DTM has come here and secondly because, being Spanish, it ’s like a home game for me. So far, I have made it onto the w inners’ rostrum twice in a junior Formula series. This racetrack is basically neither especially slow nor fast. There are some very tight places, of course, such as the second corner, but there are also plenty of fast bends. The most unusual thing is undoubtedly the fact that this racetrack is anticlockwise, in comparison to most racetracks, which are clockwise. This is an excellent track for spectators, because you can see pretty much all of the track from anywhere in the grandstands.”

“I have always felt very comfortable as a driver on the EuroSpeedway Lausitz, where I rst made it onto the DTM rostrum with the Abt-Audi TT-R in the 2001 season. I am well suited to a lot of combined corners. This racetrack is dierent to many others in that the track surface is very even. But it oers less grip than other tracks. I think the most impressive thing is the main grandstand, and seeing lots of people in the grandstand on a summer’s day is a real thrill. I won at Lausitz back in 200 and I would love to battle it out to clinch the top step of the rostrum once again this year.”

“I really came to like the Norisring when I qualied to start from fth position on the grid last year. It was more than just one good result – I was already in th place in the second qualifying session, a mere 23 hundredths of a second away from pole position. I then came eighth in the third qualifying session to secure myself fth position on the starting grid. I didn’t get o to such a good start in the race, but I did achieve a personal best by performing the fastest lap. The racetrack looks very easy – but it isn’t. The car needs to be set-up for good traction out of the tight corners coupled with unfettered speed down the straights. The extreme layout of this street circuit is unique, as is its very special atmosphere. atmosphere.””

“I feel very comfortable on the Nürburgring and have a great time there – as demonstrated by my two wins there in 2007 and 2009. I was also out in front in every qualifying session last year, so I am obviously feeling good about returning to this circuit. It doesn’t feature one specic make-or-break section, so a good result at the Nürburgring is partly down to driving it with a very uid rhythm. Overtaking is easiest at the end of the long straight past the start/nish by the arena or after the back straights just before the chicane. This This circuit is also great fun in the rain – two years ago, we performed the qualifying sessions in torrential rain.”

“I am particularly fond of Zandvoort and think it is one of the nicest circuits in motorsport. Obviously, it’s amazing to drive through the dunes, just a stone’s throw from the sea. The sensations are even more intense in the cockpit here, partly because of the setting and also because of the track layout. The area is hilly and so is the circuit, and there are some spectacular bends. In some places, we can reach speeds of between 200 and 220 km/h. The Audi A4 DTM has always been a strong performer in Zandvoort thanks to its good aerodynamics. And year-old cars have had ver y good chances of doing well in recent years too. Zandvoort is also a great venue for the fans, as the main grandstand gives them an excellent view of the goings-on in the pit lane and in the rst corner.”

Data and acts
“Brands Hatch is a fas cinating circuit with a lot of tradition. Although the Indycar circuit is very short, I would still say it was a very dicult one. It only takes the smallest mistake in the qualifying sessions to drop back a number of starting positions, because the time dierentials are so minute. My favourite section is Paddock Hill Bend, which is one of the best and most challenging corners around. How you come out of the bend is also crucial, so that you can really put your foot down up to Druids Bend. This is the most important section for overtaking manoeuvres. What makes Brands Hatch so special is that the spectators in the grandstands above Brabham Straight can see the entire circuit and therefore don’t miss a thing. thing.””

Timo Scheider
Data and acts
“After winning here twice in a row, I have a very “After ver y special relationship with Oschersleben. The entire circuit gives me a positive feeling and I always get into a good rhythm there. The triple-left bend is an especially fast section. The kerb in the rst corner is tough on the cars, as is the fast chicane ahead of the back straight. The perimeter walls are closer to the track in Oschersleben than on other circuits, but I like circuits that don’t let you make any mistakes. My tip for the spectators is to go to the grandstand on the chicane ahead of the back straight, because it’s a spectacular section and it lets you see the cars for a long time, right from the rst corner. A characteristic feature is the long pit stop approach. The whole pit stop therefore takes a lot longer here than at other tracks.”

Data and acts
“Racing at Hockenheim is like coming home for me, as I only live 120 kilometres away. The circuit layout has always suited me well. There are two or three spots where you can overtake: up to the Spitzkehre hairpin bend, in the next bend and sometimes in the Motodrom section too. We have a lot of data for the Audi A4 DTM in Hockenheim as we used to test them there and we also compete in two DTM races there every year. The rst bend after the start/nish is slightly tricky as there is a red mark you are not allowed to drive over. The views for the spectators have always been impressive, and that’s something we even notice as drivers. When my uncle Jockel used to participate in the DTM, I liked to sit in the grandstand on the Sachs bend, and this is still one of the best spots for spectators on this circuit. circuit.””

I really liked racing on this street circuit and I am delighted that we are going back to China. We don’t yet have any details about the new circuit, so I can’t really say much about what we can expect there.

30 years of success Audi Sport has been making history for 30 years and the four rings stand for a string of individual victories and championship titles in rallying, Le Mans and touring car racing. The success story of Audi in the DTM began precisely 20 years ago with the Audi V8 quattro.
Audi won the DTM two years running, in and , with the V quattro
Championship win in its debut year Audi joined the DTM in 990 with just a single V8 quattro and demonstrated its Vorsprung durch Technik straight o, as Hans-Joachim Stuck clinched the title with the help of the saloon’s outstanding quattro four-wheel drive and its 309 kW V8 engine. There was then a repeat performance
There have been no less than
seven wins for drivers
participating in the DTM under the sign of the four rings
from Audi one year later, as the newly signed Frank Biela won the DTM in his rst year with Audi. Championship win with a privateer Audi withdrew from the DTM for a while in the 992 season and it wasn’t until 2000 that the Abt Sportsline team took the initiative to participate in the DTM as an Audi privateer team. Laurent Aiello promptly won the title in 2002 in the Abt-Audi TT-R. Audi returns to steal the show The Audi factory-backed team returned to the DTM fold in 2004 with the Audi A4 DTM and went on to rack up an impressive score against Mercedes-Benz over the next six years, clinching the title no less than four times, with two wins each for Mattias Ekström and Timo Scheider. Scheider. Overall, Audi has achieved seven championship wins and 52 race victories since 990 and is now ranked second in the list of winners in the history of the event.
The pretenders to the throne have set their sights on Timo Scheider, the number one driver with two consecutive wins under his belt
