Audi Sport TT Cup Hockenheim II 2017
Audi TT cup #23 Philip Ellis

At the season finale, the Briton Philip Ellis clinched the best attacking position in the title fight of the Audi Sport TT Cup. With a time of 1m 50.452s, the table leader secured his third pole position of the season, and will share the front row with South African Keagan Masters in the first race on Saturday morning. Behind follows local hero Kevin Arnold. Mikel Azcona, currently second on the table and Ellis’s closest pursuer, had to settle for fourth on the grid. Should Ellis win, he will become the Cup winner prematurely on Saturday morning. Ellis also secured his fourth pole position of the year for the second race, sharing the front row with Mikel Azcona. The Swiss Yannik Brandt and Keagan Masters make up row two. “I’m thrilled that in both qualifying classifications the top ten drivers are all within four tenths of a second, which once again demonstrates the quality of the grid,” said Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing.
