Presenter Nina Ruge, well-known from the boulevard and evening
magazine programmes "Leute heute” and "heute Nacht”, hosted the Audi
Motorsport Launch & Lounge event in the Deutsches Museum
Verkehrszentrum.
More than 300 guests see the Audi R10 TDI and A4 DTM
More than 300 invited guests from media and society attended the world
premiere of the technically re-worked Audi R10 TDI sporting its new
design only two weeks before the 12 Hours of Sebring – the opening race
of the American Le Mans Series (ALMS) on 17 March. At the same time
Audi unveiled the Audi A4 DTM – the first race car for the 2007 DTM
season.
Audi introduces entire squad of 14 factory drivers
The human aspect of motorsport was the focus of attention on the
evening. The 14 factory drivers, including new signings Mike Rockenfeller,
Lucas Luhr and Frenchman Alexandre Prémat, introduced themselves as
did their eleven team mates. Media and also celebrities from show
business and sports – such as Ralf Möller, Carlo Thränhardt, Thomas
Friedl, Bernd Karbacher, Gregor Leutgeb, Sarah Kern, Valérien Ismaël,
John Tripp or Patrick Kühnen – used the occasion to get to know the
personal objectives and opinions of every member of the international
Audi driving squad for the 2007 season.
The band "Soul Kitchen” provided lively entertainment after the Audi
Motorsport Launch & Lounge presentation. A prize draw for two rides in
the Audi A4 DTM Race Taxi with Audi factory driver Vanina Ickx gives two
quests the unique opportunity to experience the fascination of motorsport
from the cockpit perspective as passengers in the new season.
