After BMW had ceased their activities in the German DTM, Emanuele virtually became unemployed because he still had a valid contract with the Bavarian corporation, but they had no work for him. So Pirro concentrated on some starts as "guest driver" in various events. The highly dissatisfactory situation he was in lead Emanuele to take the initiative, and so he decided to ask Audi if they had a job for him. Well, they had a job for him indeed since Audi were about to expand their Touring Car programme (which had started in 1993 in the French championship) in the years to come.
