Audi celebrates the companys centenary in 2009. The
brand lines up as deending champion in the DTM and has
the chance o winning the racing series or the third time in
succession. Audi approaches this task with an unchanged,
high-caliber driving squad. The DTM provides motorsport
at the highest level, which is very popular with the public
whether on television or at the race track. Every an can
relate to touring cars at rst glance.
As the 2008 nale the DTM demonstrated down to the last
meter just how exciting the sport is. This year the costs were
clearly reduced and the sport is even more attractive or the
manuacturers. The motorsport audience can be sure o one
thing: The DTM will produce thrilling
sport again throughout 2009.

As the title deender, Audi starts to the 2009 DTM season with
an unchanged lineup o nine actory drivers and a version o
the A4 DTM which has been subjected to urther development.
The squads aim is to clinch the title or the third time in a row
in the touring car championship that is being staged in ve
European countries.
With a proven team and technology that has been improved
yet again, Audi is aiming to deend its historic result rom last
year in the 2009 season: In the brands up to now most
successul motorsport season, Audi successully deended
the DTM title or the rst time since 1991. On his way to
achieving the eat o winning the championship in 2008, Timo
Scheider clinched three single victories, while Mattias Ekstrm
contributed three urther exploits. In addition, the brands
track record reects eight pole positions. The new Audi A4
DTM in its dbut season has thus been the most successul
generation o an Audi DTM race touring car based on the A4
model to date.
In 2009, the project o deending the title starts under
completely dierent auspices: In the year o Audis 100th

anniversary, and 25 years ater the original inception o the
DTM, Head o Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrichs squad
has the chance o bringing the title home to Ingolstadt and
Neckarsulm or the third time in a row. No manuacturer has
ever managed this eat beore. Ater entering the DTM in
2004, Audi won the championship three times, thus becomingthe most successul brand in recent DTM history.
We want to continue this impressive track record, explains
Dr. Wolgang Ullrich. Our drivers squad has played a major
role in the brands exploits. Thereore, we will start with an
unchanged lineup or the rst time. In terms o technology,
we have consistently subjected the most successul Audi
A4 DTM to date to urther development within the strict
connes o the regulations. Consequently, the R14 evolvedinto the R14 plus, which will take advantage o the great
potential o the successul model in an improved orm.
The R14 plus eatures detailed work in the area o the engine
and is primarily characterized by aerodynamic renement as
well as detailed solutions. As in the past, Audi Sport continued
developing the race car at its Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm locations.
For Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, title deender Timo
Scheider (D), Mattias Ekstrm (S), the 2004 and 2007
champion, Martin Tomczyk (D) as well as Tom Kristensen
(DK), who with as many as eight victories at the 24 Hours o
Le Mans and ve overall exploits at the 12 Hours o Sebring
under his belt is the record holder in the worlds two most
important endurance races, will compete again. A new member
joining the squad is Katherine Legge (GB). In her 2008 dbutyear, the Briton was driving a two-year-old A4 or the customer
team Futurecom-TME. Now she will be contesting the series in
a 2008 car or the rst time.
Mike Rockeneller (D) and Markus Winkelhock (D) will continue
to compete or Audi Sport Team Rosberg rom Neustadt an
der Weinstrae at the wheel o two 2008-spec Audi A4 DTM
cars. Two race cars rom the same model year will be driven
by Oliver Jarvis (GB) and Alexandre Prmat (F) or Audi SportTeam Phoenix rom Meuspath in the Eiel region. Audi thus
concentrates its DTM commitment in the 2009 season on
three race teams. In addition, it is anticipated that the team o
Dr. Colin Kolles will privately eld three A4 cars.
Audi aims to win the DTM or the third
time in succession to celebrate the
1th anniversaryo the brand

Three race cars from Audi Sport
Approximately 200 employees in Ingolstadt and
Neckarsulm are primarily responsible or developing and
testing the race cars. Audi Sport is afliated with AUDI AGs
Technical Development (TE) and is thereore answerable to
Michael Dick, Board Member or Technical Development.
Head o Audi Sport since November 1993 is Austrian Dr.
Wolgang Ullrich. Audi Sport was restructured and aligned
or the uture in 2007. Towards the end o 2009 Audi
Sport will complete the construction o the rst stageo a customer sport center in Ingolstadt or the new GT3
motorsport program.
New routes in customer sport
Audi has developed three race cars or the 2009 season:
The A4 DTM o the R14 plus model range as successor to the
R14 or the DTM, the R15 TDI as rst diesel race sportscar o
the second generation and the R8 LMS or international GT3
customer motorsport.
While Audi Sport in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm continue to
look ater the actory motorsport program, the organization
or GT3 customer racing was systematically expanded.
Absolute responsibility or development is in the hands
o Audi Sport in Ingolstadt. At the same time two other
sites are integrated in this project: The bodyshell is taken
rom the quattro GmbH production line in Neckarsulm. The
engine or the race car originates rom Gyr in Hungary.

Audi improves the
winning model again
The Audi A4 DTM introduced last season set a record at
its dbut: With six victories, eight best times in qualiying
and the title win, it was the most successul DTM vehicle
based on the A4, which Audi has designed and built since its
return to the DTM in 2004. In accordance with the internal
model designations, R11 (2004), R12 (2005), R12 plus
(2006), R13 (2007) and R14 (2008), the current R14 plus
(2009) represents the sixth generation o the vehicle.
The engineers rom Audi Sport in Ingolstadt and
Neckarsulm were aced with a difcult task: the challenge
o improving the champions car rom the year beore yet

again, within unchanged connes o the regulations. All o
the principal design eatures o the touring race car, which
is based on a tubular rame and a carbon ber shell or the
driver, and powered by a 460-hp our-liter V8 engine, have
remained the same.
The most clearly visible modication when the hood is
open is the air box on top o the engine, explains Ulrich
Baretzky, Head o Engine Development at Audi Sport. It
is a consequence o the requirements that arose rom
a new cooling air passage at the vehicles ront. The
charge changing process meaning the inow o resh
gas ollowing the outow o exhaust gas has been
optimized by the new intake plenum. Audi has also achieved
improvements in torque development and power output,in other words the engines drivability. One o many other
detailed optimizations concerns the more avorable oil
circuit. When summing up the total o their achievements,
the developers have to make a realistic assessment.
Basically, in the sixth year o continuous development, the
potential o any engine design has been ully exploited,
says Ulrich Baretzky.
Wolgang Appel, Head o Vehicle Development, and his
team clearly dened some ocal areas with respect to the

development o the other components o the car as well.
Even though we compiled a list o about 80 minor or major
items on the whole vehicle, we clearly concentrated our
eorts on aerodynamics, says Appel. We modied various
aspects o the air ow around the vehicle, the diuser and
the ow through the engine compartment. A rear wingmounted rom the top, which promises to provide better
ow characteristics, is a conspicuous eature. This idea
made its dbut with the Audi R15 TDI Le Mans sports car
this year. The aerodynamic eects o new solutions are
rst calculated using computational uid dynamics (CFD),
ollowed by model wind tunnel testing and ultimately by
testing at AUDI AGs ull-scale wind tunnel.
Furthermore, the engineers ocused their attention on allaspects which contribute to maintaining the perormance
capability o the race car at consistent levels across the
racing distance o typically more than 60 minutes. Two
signicant actors determine the sporting result: the way
the car handles the deterioration o the tires over the course
o time as well as the reduction in vehicle mass caused by
the consumption o the uel in the tank. New components
o the braking system are an additional aspect. The British
manuacturer AP, who equips all DTM cars with a standard
system, presents clearly less massive brake calipers or the
2009 season. This inuences our choice o aerodynamic
ow toward the brake, explains Appel. The clearly
improved air ow through the calipers will also guaranteehigher consistency during the race.
Audi Head o Motorsport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich is certain:
With the R14 model last year we developed the most
competitive concept based on an A4 so ar. This race car
possesses enough potential to again ght or the place at
the top this year as the R14 plus. Ater all, our goal is to
deend the title.
Calculations made with the help
o computational fuid dynamics
play a decisive role in the
aerodynamics

Unchanged
strong squad
Never change a winning team this was the motto used
by Head o Audi Sport Dr. Wolgang Ullrich when selecting
the drivers or the 2009 season: The driver squad remains
unchanged to the previous season or the rst time since
the brands return to the DTM.
Timo Scheider earned start number one ater winning thetitle. The now 30-year-old German had a dream season:
In April 2008 he celebrated his rst career DTM win at
Oschersleben, in August at Brands Hatch his second. His
third victory o the season at the Hockenheim nale sealed
his rst DTM championship win.
The Swede Mattias Ekstrm, DTM Champion a year beore,
again ought long and hard throughout the 2008 season
or the title. With three victories he completed Audis
excellent season and was third in the standings in the end.
Eight-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen rom Denmark
and Martin Tomczyk complete the line-up or the quartet o
2009 model Audi A4 DTM race cars. Audi Sport Team Abt
Sportsline receive a charming addition in the orm o a th
power: Katherine Legge drives an Audi A4 DTM rom 2008
or the Kempten based squad.
The other year-old cars are elded by two proven teams:
Audi Sport Team Rosberg prepares the race cars or Markus
Winkelhock and Mike Rockeneller, who won the Le Mans
Series last year with Audi. His ormer team mate in the
cockpit, Frenchman Alexandre Prmat, competes or Audi
Sport Team Phoenix in the DTM. The team rom the Eiel
region also prepares the Audi A4 DTM o Briton Oliver Jarvis.

With 83 races and two DTM titles to his credit the
30-year-old Swede belongs already or a long time to the
most successul drivers in the series. Even though his
perormance and three individual victories last year were
not enough or the title Ekstrm can look back proudly. He
ought till the end or the championship and in doing so
set a personal record. With 13 DTM race victories or Audiduring his career he has now surpassed the previous record
held by Hans-Joachim Stuck.
Between races the Scandinavian re-charges his batteries in
his Swiss domicile Salenstein. He ollows the MotoGP series
in his spare time away rom the DTM.
Mattias Ekstrm likes to spend his ree time with his
girlriend and his two Jack Russell Terriers, collects watches
and owns a salt water aquarium?
the Swedes career stood at the crossroads in 2001? At the
time he was aced with the choice o being a race or rally driver.

Oliver Jarvis came rom single-seater racing as newcomer
to the DTM or the 2008 season. His respectable record: He
qualied ve times as best year-old car driver, he took the
checkered ag twice as astest driver o year-old car and
collected ve championship points.
Since the winter Jarvis has proved that he does not see theDTM as hal-way-halt in his career. He moved rom Great
Britain to Switzerland to be close to the majority o DTM
circuits. That he started taking German lessons at the Audi
Akademie at the same time urther underlined his ambition.

Hockenheim (D)
Timo Scheider about the fow o the track
Hockenheim probably has almost every conceivable type
o corner and radii. There are very, very ast kinks, hairpin
bends and corners with generous run-o areas. The race
track itsel is very attractive. Due to the sequence o corners
a track unolds around which you can achieve an extremely
uid rhythm. The Motodrom is sensational, when you enter
it you use the curb on the let-hand side. You have to be very
careul on concrete suraces, grass paving blocks and grass.
One mistake and youre parked in the wall. There are plenty
o overtaking places: heading towards turns 2, at the end
o the Parabolica towards the hairpin bend, into the Sachs
Kurve and probably also in the Opel corners.

EuroSpeedway (D)
Katherine Legge about the speed at the EuroSpeedway
I like the EuroSpeedway Lausitz. It has something o
everything: Fast and slow corners, the track is challenging
and there are enough places to overtake. It is one o the
tracks I really look orward to. The tarmac surace is very
uniorm around the entire circuit except several sections
that are very aggressive. The corner which I nd the most
appealing is the rst one. I like the hard braking just beore
turning-in. You drive the last section beore the start
and nish in the oval, approach the rst corner ater the
straight at extremely high-speed beore braking very hard.
An exciting part or drivers and ans alike!

Norisring (D)
Markus Winkelhock about traction and tires
The Norisring looks a lot easier than it really is. You have
to brake long and hard, need a good car balance and
plenty o traction. The circuit is a lot o un. Its in the
amily: My uncle Joachim always enjoyed driving here.
The track is very bumpy. I it rains the car can aquaplane
easily here on the standing water. The circuit is murderous
on the brakes. Although the tarmac is rough the tires do
not wear very much, you just have to be careul that you
dont spin the wheels. The corner I like the most is the
let-hander exiting the chicane. To build up speed, you get
so close to the wall on the right that the wing mirror is
scratched. During my career I once used up eight wing-
mirrors on a single weekend.

Zandvoort (NL)
Mattias Ekstrm about the reduced practice time
I like the races in Zandvoort the best. The track is comprised
o many great corners, crests and compressions. You get
into a good rhythm. At the start there is virtually no grip.
The grip increases with every lap, which you really eel with
new tires. Since the new regulations allow less practice,
less rubber will go down on the track. For this reason the
tarmac could be harder on the tire. When it rains you should
drive on the rough tarmac and not ollow the ideal line on
the very new tarmac, otherwise things get tricky. There are
plenty o opportunities to overtake. Its one o the ew race
tracks where you can still win rom ourth or even th on
the grid. Zandvoort means a lot to me: I won my rst race
here in 2002 and Abt Sportsline gained the title.

Oschersleben (D)
Tom Kristensen about technical versatility
Oschersleben is a owing circuit with several very ast
corners and lots o changes o direction. A good balance
is thereore absolutely imperative. You have to turn-in to
the slow corners aggressively and come out with plenty o
momentum. Its a circuit at which every car needs a wide
range o qualities. There are circuits where it is mainly a
question o traction or high-speed, such as the Norisring.
At Oschersleben you have to drive with huge commitment.
The grip in general is low and only increases ater a lot o
laps. The track surace is very gentle to the tires. The track
is very slippery in the rain. Especially in the rst corner,
the tires have virtually no grip whatsoever in the wet. You
are conronted with a decisive moment right at the start
o a lap.

Nrburgring (D)
Mike Rockeneller about the crucial corners
With its mix o corners o dierent radii the track is ar
rom simple. It is a modern track with ne grain asphalt.
Traction, clean driving, braking or the rst corner rom
high-speed all very challenging. The short loop is difcult,
the Bit Corner is un. A perectly set-up car is crucial. In bad
weather you can either distance yoursel rom the rubber on
the ideal line, but also drive exactly on it. This works really
well with the Dunlop rain tires. Ater the short loop there is
a let-hand curve. You lean on the curb on the outside here.
You tend to drive the Bit Corner too quickly, then you lose
momentum in the Hatzenbach-Bogen. Its important to
nd a good compromise, to take a lot momentum into the
corner and get on the pedal early again.

Brands Hatch (GB)
Oliver Jarvis about his home race
Brands Hatch has a lot o character. Paddock Hill is one
o the best corners anywhere. You have to brake without
being able to see into the corner. Also, i you are a little
o line youll have massive problems at the exit. The track
is very short, but nevertheless challenging and physicallydemanding. The atmosphere is something very special. The
circuit is much lower than the grandstands, so you can see
almost the entire acility rom the stands. Its like being in
a ootball stadium. The tarmac is smooth to the tires, which
is why you can make several runs during qualiying with
just one set o tires. The pole position is not necessarily an
advantage. Because the start-nish straight slopes towards
the pit wall the position on the outside can provide better
grip than the one o the astest driver on the inside.

Barcelona (E)
Martin Tomczyk about the line at Barcelona
Barcelona is a antastic circuit, which is all about maximum
speed in many places. Ater the long straight and the
back straight the aerodynamics and brakes must also be
excellent. Your car needs more traction than previous years
due to the new chicane. Thereore all aspects are required.The best solution is that you drive a car which is well-
balanced in every aspect. You can drive dierent lines in the
rain, but not everywhere. In two or three corners the line is
dictated to you. The tarmac is only moderately rough. Weve
never had excessive tire wear at Barcelona. Overtaking is
undamentally well possible. My personal highlight was
winning here in 2006.

Dijon-Prenois (F)
Alexandre Prmat about the rollercoaster ride
A very ast track awaits us, perhaps the astest in the
DTM, and there are rises and alls. You drive through the
nal corner beore the start and nish at 200 kph. You
cant see the exit o the corner due to a slight drop. Itll
be really interesting when the entire eld storms throughthis section. The tarmac is inconsistent, in some parts very
aggressive to the tires, and in others very gentle. To win at
Dijon it appears to me that your grid position is even more
important than elsewhere. I love the circuit and I have
ond memories o a win in Formula Renault and testing in
Formula 3. I was a little surprised when we tested here with
the DTM. It just looks antastic when our cars are pounding
around the track. The ans will love it.

Hockenheim (D)
Timo Scheider about the track conditions
Hockenheim is a modern and balanced track. The tarmac is
slightly bumpy. The grip level is dierent in the Motodrom
compared to the rest o the track. The tarmac is coarse
grained around the majority o the circuit which means
that it has large pores. Nevertheless you can cover verylong distances on one set o tires. The level o grip doesnt
change signicantly with a change in temperature. I the
weather is bad the Sachs Kurve can be a critical point. I
you make a mistake here in the rain you either end up in the
gravel or the tire barrier. At other points the large run-o
areas tend to orgive driving errors. You can many dierent
lines through the Sachs Kurve inside, middle or outside.
