Audi driver Mattias Ekström ends DTM career

Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

It marks the end of an era: After 17 years, 193 races, 23 victories and two championship titles, factory driver Mattias Ekström ends his #dtm career, which means that Audi’s most successful #dtm campaigner to date is leaving this #racing series. In 2018, Ekström will concentrate on the factory-backed commitment of his team, EKS, in the World Rallycross Championship. The new member of Audi’s #dtm driver squad is Dutchman Robin Frijns.

“This was one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make,” says Ekström. “The #dtm was my life for a long time and my heart will always continue to beat for the #dtm in the future too. However, I’ve also invested a lot of time and energy in my rallycross team in recent years. Without the dual program I’m now able to fully concentrate on one series again and have more freedom again for my family and my children. I’ll continue to compete for my own team and am clearing the way in the #dtm for a promising youngster.”
