The DTM star is going to offer Audi’s VIP guests rides in his Audi S1 EKS RX quattro from the FIA World Rallycross Championship. Audi relies on new trucks from MAN For success in the DTM and in the FIA WEC Audi leaves nothing to chance. Right in time for the Le Mans 24 Hours and the DTM round at the Norisring a week later, Audi is using eight new MAN semitrailers. The trucks transport the Audi RS 5 DTM and Audi R18 cars across Europe and accommodate spare parts and mobile facilities for meetings or medical care. “The vehicles offer high levels of driving and living comfort. Particularly pleasant are the numerous assistance systems that make driving safer,” says Dieter Gass, Head of DTM, praising the new semis. Excited about Le Mans Audi driver Marcel Fässler and his two Swiss fellow race drivers Neel Jani and Sébastien Buemi sparked the enthusiasm of media in their country for the 24-hour race at Le Mans. On the race track of Lignières in the canton of Neuenburg, the pros who will be battling for overall victory at Le Mans for three automobile manufacturers answered the questions of some 30 members of the media. During taxi rides as Marcel Fässler’s passengers in the Audi R8 V10 Coupé, the journalists got an emotional impression of dynamics and acceleration. |
