Brits at double for Audi in DTM

24th February 2009

Reigning DTM German touring car championship title holder Audi has revealed its plans for 2009. As per last year, the
firm will enter a total of nine cars, including one each for British aces Oliver Jarvis and Katherine Legge.

Leading the charge will be reigning champ Timo Scheider. The German star will drive a latest 2009 specification A4, as will Tom Kristensen, Mattias Ekstrom and Martin Tomczyk.

Jarvis and Legge will run year-old machines, alongside squad regulars Markus Winkelhock, Mike Rockenfeller and Frenchman Alexandre Premat. Arch-rival Mercedes has yet to name its driver line-up for this year, although ex-F1 racer Ralf Schumacher has confirmed he will return for the three-pointed star.

The new season kicks off at Hockenheim on 17 May.
