Audi revealed its car designs for the 2011 DTM to coincide with the official season presentation this coming Sunday in Wiesbaden. The fans can look forward to a colorful grid since the nine Audi A4 DTM compete in eight different basic colors from white to shining yellow. Just like every year, fans of Europe’s most popular touring car race series eagerly wait to see which colors and designs adorn the DTM cars in the new season. The waiting has an end as far as the Audi line-up is concerned: The Audi A4 DTM in their new outfits were already in action during tests and the EuroSpeedway Lausitz.
Fans of Timo Scheider must adapt to something new: Since changing to Audi, the 2008 and 2009 DTM Champion competes for the first time in something other than a black Audi A4 DTM. The Austrian resident’s car bears the basic color white. Main sponsor is the monthly magazine “AUTO TEST” published by the Axel Springer Auto Verlag. In addition, Game Boy inventor Nintendo and Audi Top Service are represented on Scheider’s A4. Scheider’s team mate at Audi Sport Team Abt, according to the official entrant’s name, in the 2011 season is once again the Briton Oliver Jarvis who must also get used to a new look: His Audi A4 DTM is red and advertises for the high-performance products of AUDI AG and the Audi Bank. Mattias Ekström, DTM Champion in 2004 and 2007, joins the grid in the familiar blue primary color of energy drink manufacturer Red Bull. His new team mate at Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, Mike Rockenfeller, gets an Audi A4 DTM in the classic yellow of the Deutsche Post AG and advertising its product E-POSTBRIEF on the defending Le Mans winner’s car. Martin Tomczyk competes in a particularly striking design for Audi Sport Team Phoenix: The A4 of the Swiss based driver from Rosenheim is luminous yellow at the front and green at the back – the colors of the Schaeffler product brands LuK and INA. Tomczyk’s new team mate Rahel Frey drives a gold colored Audi A4 DTM adorned with the women’s magazine “Glamour” logo. The two DTM newcomers Filipe Albuquerque and Edoardo Mortara appear in two familiar and striking designs for Audi Sport Team Rosberg. Albuquerque drives an Audi A4 DTM in the light blue of television magazine “TV Movie” published by the Heinrich-Bauer-Verlag, Mortara a black A4 in the look of men’s magazine “Playboy.” Miguel Molina, best newcomer in the DTM last year, is a new member of the Red Bull Junior Team. Apart from extra yellow highlights the Spaniard’s A4 DTM looks exactly like Mattias Ekström’s car (extra red highlights). As a result, there are two Audi A4 DTM sporting the typical blue Red Bull design on the grid for the first time since 2008. “With the AUTO TEST magazine and Deutsche Post he have managed to gain two strong new partners for our DTM program,” explains Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich. “Furthermore, our many trusted partners like Red Bull and the Schaeffler Group are still on board. This speaks volumes for the Audi brand and the DTM. I’m sure the fans and especially TV viewers will be particularly pleased that we bring a very colorful mix of easily identifiable cars to the grid.” The start numbers and car identifications in the 2011 DTM Audi Sport Team Abt Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline Audi Sport Team Phoenix Audi Sport Team Rosberg Audi Sport Team Abt Junior             - Audi Motorsport Related posts:

| LMS: All GTE-Pro Porsches taken out in Paul Ricard start Posted: 03 Apr 2011 06:30 AM PDT Starts are always hectic, usually at turn 1, but this mornings start to the 6 Hours of Castellet was terrible. Everything looks to be fine, pace car leading out, yellow flags, etc. GREEN-GREEN-GREEN, field jumps but out of sight, the pace car stays on track. It had never entered pit-road causing an accordion effect for the GTE class. Pause it at 22sec and you can see how Paul Ricard has a hump causing a lot of blinding to what is happening upfront. In the end, Porsche gets the shit end of the stick, losing 4/5 cars. At the halfway point #88 Team Felbermayr Proton leads in GTE-Am GTE-Pro GTE-Am Related posts:
