Audi Sport TT Cup 2017 Nürburgring
Johnny Cecotto

Ex-Motorcyle World Champion with Audi: Johnny Cecotto competes in the Audi Sport TT Cup at the Nürburgring. The Venezuelan has many fans in Germany: after his career as the two-time Motorcycle World Champion, he switched to Formula 1. He celebrated his first great touring car success in Germany with the title in the STW Supr Touring Car Championship, the ADAC GT Cup, in the Nürburgring 24 Hours and in the V8STAR. Just like the journalist Sönke Brederlow, the former DTM driver Cecotto is a guest starter in the Eifel. The 16 permanently registered juniors are also looking forward to two exciting races in the supporting program of the Nürburgring 24 Hours. At the opener in Hockenheim, Briton Philip Ellis won two spectacular races before the Pole Gosia Rdest. The Dutchman Milan Dontje and Yannik Brandt from Switzerland took pole positions in Hockenheim. Brandt completed the podium in the first race, whilst Scottish rookie Finlay Hutchison, who delivered an impressive fightback from twelfth to third in the second race, will again have the podium in his sights in the Eifel.
