Ingolstadt, September 22, 2015 – The #audi Sport #tt Cup is starting to approach its first season finale.

In the guest drivers’ classification, the field will feature international entrants this time.
Following the race weekend at Oschersleben, the #audi Sport #tt Cup is traveling from the region around Magdeburg to the Eifel. “After the #audi Sport customer #racing team has clinched an impressive victory on the Nordschleife with the new R8 LMS, we are now very much looking forward to the youngsters visiting the Grand Prix circuit. There is a really special enthusiasm for motorsport at this venue,” says Project Leader Rolf Michl. “In the battle for the Championship, we’re again expecting to see gripping duels. After the tremendous races at Oschersleben, we’d like to show the spectators fantastic motorsport again with an attractive field.”
