From Audi
Audi will be competing with three DTM Champions in the 2014 season. Mike Rockenfeller, Mattias Ekström and Timo Scheider have all been confirmed as drivers.
“I'm delighted that, alongside title defender Mike Rockenfeller, our two most successful DTM drivers also continue to be on board,” says Head of Audi Motorsport Dr. Wolfgang Ullrich.
Mattias Ekström is tackling an amazing 14th DTM season for Audi next year. From 2001 to 2003, he competed in the Abt Audi TT-R. Since 2004, the Swede has been an Audi factory driver. With 17 victories and two Champion's titles (2004 and 2007) under his belt he is the most successful Audi DTM driver of all.
Timo Scheider joined Audi in 2006 and in his first season was immediately the best driver of a year-old Audi. In 2008 and 2009, he won the DTM, perfecting a title hat-trick for Audi. Audi has been the first and only automobile manufacturer to date to have clinched three DTM drivers' titles in succession.
“The dream with Audi can continue,” says Timo Scheider, looking forward to his ninth season under the symbol of the four rings.
