News bits from the Audi DTM team

- Busy schedule for “Dindo” Capello
Prior to her performance in the ARD Chart Show, singer Ruslana visited the Audi team garage. Martin Tomzyk unveiled the secrets of the DTM to the winner of the “2004 Eurovision Grand Prix”. Ruslana was even given the chance to take a seat in the cockpit of Tomczyk’s Audi A4 DTM and was absolutely thrilled afterwards: “I drive an Audi myself and am a great Audi fan.”
At Oschersleben, the Audi drivers not only caused a sensation on the circuit but in the paddock as well: on a race track specially set up for this purpose, Mattias Ekström, Martin Tomczyk and Frank Stippler fought a few really tough duels with remote-controlled Audi A4 DTM cars that looked the worse for wear afterwards...
On Friday night, Mattias Ekström celebrated the traditional Swedish “midsommar” fest together with his parents and his sister. At the Ekström family’s motorhome, salmon, cake, strawberries and aquavit were served.
Tom Kristensen revealed surprising talent: the Le Mans record victor played the drums of the band “Heulüecher“, which rendered a spontaneous performance in front of the Audi Team and Media Hospitality and in the paddock congratulating Tom for his Le Mans victory.
A busy schedule for “Dindo” Capello: in Sardinia he participated in a VIP sailboat race. Then he went to Le Mans for a quick visit to receive honours for last year’s victory. Last weekend, a short trip to Japan on the occasion of the 25th quattro anniversary was on his agenda. Between these activities, “Dindo” celebrated his 41st birthday.
