When Audi presented the concept car at the 1995 IAA, the public’s reaction was quick and clear: “This car should be mass-produced – exactly as it is!” With the series debut in 1998, the Audi TT wrote design history and was built as a coupé and roadster over three generations.

A quarter of a century of cooperation in Germany’s number 1 racing series Strong record with five drivers titles, 78 victories and 92 pole positions Long-standing protagonists shaped a trusting relationship A grand finale to a quarter of a century of extraordinary cooperation: Audi and ABT Sportsline entered the DTM finale at the Hockenheimring for the last time together and kept the title fight exciting right to the end. In the end, Kelvin van der Linde finished second in the standings in the 2024 season after a race win on Saturday. Since May 28, 2000, the team from Germany’s Allgäu region has relied on racing cars with the four rings in exactly 333 DTM competitions. With five drivers titles, 78 victories and many other best performances, the track record of both partners is overwhelming compared to the competition. “At Audi Sport, we are proud to have celebrated so many successes with ABT Sportsline,” said Rolf Michl, Managing Director of Audi Sport GmbH. “Together we have grown during this long phase and have written a huge piece of motorsport history with many unforgettable successes. This period was also legendary in human terms. A big thank you to Hans-Jürgen Abt, CEO of the ABT Group, Thomas Biermaier, CEO of ABT Sportsline, Head of Sports Marketing Harry Unflath, ABT Motorsport Director Martin Tomczyk and the many other hard-working hands from Kempten who made this era possible.” The journey began with an Abt-Audi TT-R developed in-house in the 2000 season. As early as 2002, Laurent Aiello beat the competition from two manufacturers with the private team’s striking yellow racing car and won the first DTM title for ABT Sportsline. After Audi returned to the prestigious championship in 2004, the team from Kempten was once again in first place. That year, Mattias Ekström celebrated his first championship win in an Audi A4 DTM fielded by Hans-Jürgen Abt’s team.

After a trial year in a side-by-side model, he contested his first Dakar Rally in a car for Team Audi Sport in 2022. As stage winner, ninth overall and best Audi driver, he and co-driver Emil Bergkvist made their mark straight away. He was also the best Audi driver last year in 14th place. One of the things that set Mattias Ekström apart is his professional approach to new challenges and his ability to quickly learn the basics of each new discipline. Whether it was touring car racing in his home country where it all began, the DTM in Germany with the Class 1 touring cars, the Spa 24 Hours in the Audi R8 LMS, the World Rallycross Championship, the Race of Champions or electric racing on the circuit and off-road: within a very short space of time, the now 45-year-old Swede was one of the winners and soon also one of the championship contenders. At the Dakar Rally, he learned that mistakes are part of everyday life and that almost nobody gets through without setbacks. Ekström has experienced more than once in his still young career as a Dakar participant that a stage win can still come at the end of a subjectively unsatisfactory day. Accordingly, he knows how to adapt, minimize risks and also take a step back from time to time. Compared to the reproducible cycles in a circuit race, desert rallies contain countless surprises day after day. Mattias Ekström has learned to adapt to this. And he has another quality that is extremely valuable and that his team can rely on: The racing professional has proven more than once in his outstanding career that he is prepared to subordinate his own ambitions to the goals of a team if necessary.
