From press release
German car constructor Audi will launch the new Audi Sport TT Cup that will be held as part of the DTM starting in 2015.
This spec series will be launched in Germany first.
The racing version of the new Audi TT with a weight of only 1,125 kilograms delivers 228 kW (310 bhp).
By means of a so-called push-to-pass function the output of the two-liter TFSI engine can be briefly boosted by 22 kW (30 bhp).
Audi will prepare and enter the 24 cars. Six of them will be reserved for guest drivers.
Interested drivers can apply worldwide for the other 18 remaining places on the grid at www.audi-motorsport.com effective immediately. The multi-stage selection process will take place in close cooperation with the Audi driving experience.
Markus Winkelhock will be on hand to coach the participants of the Audi Sport TT Cup as an experienced professional race driver.
The winner of the new Audi Sport TT Cup can look forward to receiving support in Audi's successful GT3 sports car program. A subsequent promotion to the DTM or the WEC with Audi is another dream of many young race drivers.
