The young drivers in the Audi Sport TT Cup are fired up for the new season

Seven weeks before the Audi Sport TT Cup season opens at Hockenheim from 5^th to 7^th May, the current driver field for the 2017 season began its training program. In the areas of fitness and teambuilding, the young talents completed a schedule of activities consisting of professional performance diagnostics, training recommendations and fitness units, and were provided with insight into the basics of sports medicine.

The nine-time Le Mans winner Tom Kristensen visited the training camp in the Allgau, Germany as well. The Dane welcomed the juniors, provided input to their fitness training and talked about his own career during a presentation. Following the camp, the young drivers from 10 countries are travelling directly on to Audi Neuburg where experts in the field of race preparation are going to explain the utilisation of data, the technical background and the handling of the race car in theory and practice.

"We look forward to the 2017 year group - with many international talents on the grid once again," says Chris Reinke, Head of Audi Sport customer racing. "By the time of our season preparation course at Hockenheim on 11^th and 12^th April, we will have signed the last agreements and are then going to announce a complete entry list. We're expecting an exciting season with plenty of variety on the podium."
