Transfer of technology from motorsport to production vehicles and vice versa

The responsibility for AUDI AG’s factory commitment in the DTM rests with Audi Sport – the organisation that has been assuring Audi’s demonstration of “Vorsprung durch Technik” in motorsport for over 25 years. Audi Sport is primarily responsible for developing and testing the race cars and supplying technical support at the race weekends. The cars are fielded by proven partners like Abt Sportsline.

Based in Ingolstadt

Audi Sport is based in Ingolstadt where most of the team’s near 150-strong members work. The race engines are developed in Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm. Since November 1993, Audi Sport has been headed by the native Austrian Dr Wolfgang Ullrich, who is also Head of Motorsport for AUDI AG.

Audi Sport is affiliated with AUDI AG’s Technical Development department. This assures the transfer of technology from motorsport to production vehicles and vice versa. In 2007, Audi’s factory commitments featured the R10 TDI in the sports prototype category, and the A4 in the DTM. With victories at Le Mans, in the ALMS and the title win in the DTM, this was a successful season.
