Audi #SuperQ St. Moritz: Ski stars on the ice
The Audi DTM driver and Rallycross world champion Mattias Ekström invited international ski stars to the Audi #SuperQ in St. Moritz. At the start of the event in the Swiss ski resort, Peter Fill and Dominik Paris for Italy and Max Franz for Austria joined the national duel. Ekström and Rallycross teammate Toomas Heikkinen gave valuable tips for handling the course on snow and ice. After several practice sessions in the Audi TT RS, Franz showed the best skills and prevailed over the Italian ski-aces in the final. Subsequently, Fill, Paris and Franz experienced a few hot laps in the Audi S1 EKS RX quattro, before they themselves demonstrated their skills in the 560 hp racer from the FIA World Rallycross Championship. It was a welcome change for the ski racers in parallel with the alpine World Ski Championships. “It was a great experience. Driving race cars on the ice for the first time was unique. And of course, with Mattias and Toomas we had the best teachers,” said Fill. The downhill specialist competed as a guest starter in last summer’s Audi Sport TT Cup.
