Profile: #2 Kevin Strohschänk (D) – Rookie
Back to overviewFor Kevin Strohschänk, a long-held dream is coming true, as the German is contesting a season in the one-make cup of his favorite manufacturer, Audi, this year. Aside from motorsport, the young driver from the Allgäu region works as a car salesman at the Audi Center in Kempten. Considering this, it almost goes without saying that the participation in the 2016 Audi Sport TT Cup is a highlight for him in his still brief racing career. Compared with many of his competitors, Strohschänk is still regarded as an unknown quantity. But with a strong will and high self-confidence he is determined to make his mark as the surprise of the season. True to his motto: “If you want to reach the top spot, you need to rip out the rearview mirror.”
