Audi season countdown 2010-03-25
DTM countdown: strong new partners for Audi in the DTMIngolstadt, March 25, 2010 - Audi will start into the 2010 DTM season at the Hockenheimring on April 25 with strong new partners. This week, the Audi A4 DTM cars sporting their current colors can be seen for the first time at the official DTM tests at Valencia, Spain.
Audi is one of the most successful automobile manufacturers in the world - and the first and only one so far to have won the DTM drivers title three consecutive times: in 2007 with Mattias Ekstrom, and in 2008 and 2009 with Timo Scheider.
Three renowned new partners will jointly tackle the "title defense" project with Audi in the 2010 season: Tabac Original, TV Movie and the Schaeffler Group with its LuK and INA brands - like Audi, all of them are premium brands and, for the most part, the number one in their segments.
"That we will have such renowned partners on board underscores the attractiveness of the Audi brand and the high caliber of the DTM," says Siegfried Krause, Head of Partnerships at Audi Sport. "Anyone who invests in sport sponsoring today rightly has very high expectations of their investment. With Audi, partners are in good hands in this regard."
