DTM Nürburgring 2016
Bene Mayr, Mattias Ekström

Mattias Ekström met with his old friend Benedikt Mayr during the DTM weekend at the Nürburgring and introduced the three-time freestyle skier of the year to the world of the DTM. The 27-year-old had the opportunity to sit in Ekström’s Audi RS 5 DTM and was obviously impressed by the Swede’s 460-hp race car. Ekström and Mayr have known each other for years and were jointly on camera for the short movie “Steepest Street” at the end of 2015. For Mayr, the trip to the Eifel not only served the purpose of seeing Ekström again. The resident of Austria was on the grid of the Audi Sport TT Cup as a guest entrant and clinched a podium finish in the one-make cup.
