Abt Sportsline is keeping its options open regarding its choice of manufacturer for the 2023 DTM season, but is confident of extending its long-standing relationship with Audi. Full story ⬇️
Abt was responsible for bringing Audi back to the DTM more than two decades ago and has shared plenty of success with the German manufacturer since then, winning the teams’ title five times in 2004, ‘07, ‘11, ‘16 and ‘20.
“But nothing has been finalised yet - neither with drivers nor with manufacturers. That will now all happen promptly after Hockenheim [DTM finale].” "Audi knows exactly what they have in us. And we know what we have in Audi. I'm relatively confident that we can make it work.” As revealed by Motorsport.com earlier this month, ITR is pondering a rule change that would oblige teams to run cars in multiples of two to make the best use of limited space in the pitlane, forcing one-car and three-car squads to alter their operations.
“One thing is clear that we will not increase to four. With all our other projects with what we have in mind for next year, maybe we don't have the capacity to do four cars. Currently it looks like two or three. “We had the same question before. If Attempto is doing only one car and we stick to three cars, we can share a car with them and it would be the ‘Abt-Attempto’ team. Abt is understood to be happy with the performances of both van der Linde and Feller, who bagged a maiden race win at Imola, and both have a strong chance of remaining with the squad regardless of how many cars it operates in 2023, provided it remains within the Audi field.
Liimatainen, however, is clear that Team Rosberg would remain an Audi customer going into the 2023 season, with no change of manufacturers being considered.
