Audi liveries for the 2016 DTM season
Audi Sport is ready for the 2016 Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters season, after a solid show at last week’s ITR official collective preseason tests, held in Hockenheim, host of the season opener.
The RS 5 DTM was the strongest car in 2015, being consistently fast and reliable. The points lost as a penalty for the ‘pushgate’, as well as concentrating on supporting no less than three drivers for the title right until the end of the season, cost the Ingolstadt manufacturer dearly, not taking home any crowns at the end of the year.
2016 will mark an unprecedented third year in succession with an unchanged driver line up, albeit with some tweaks in the team pairings.
The colours on the Audi cars for next season are as follows:
5 – Mattias Ekström – Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline
10 – Timo Scheider – AUTO TEST Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Phoenix
17 – Miguel Molina – Audi Sport Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Abt
27 – Adrien Tambay – Playboy Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Rosberg
48 – Edoardo Mortara – Castrol Edge Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline
51 – Nico Müller – Audi Financial Services Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Abt
53 – Jamie Green – Hoffmann Group Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Rosberg
99 – Mike Rockenfeller – Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM – Audi Sport Team Phoenix
The 2016 DTM season starts at Hockenheim on 6-8 of May.
