The first litmus test will be coming up for the young entrants from March 11 to 16 at Oberstdorf, where they are going to meet for a fitness camp to jointly lay the foundations for a strenuous season. “I’m already looking forward to working with our young race drivers and am eager to meet them as a group for the first time at our fitness camp,” says Mondelaers. The camp in the Allgäu region will not only be about developing strength and physical shape, as the participants will also be receiving valuable tips for appropriate nutrition, engineering and information on how to work with social media in various professional presentations.
In April, a driving test in the Audi TT cup, plus media training sessions, are going to complement the preparations. The starting signal for the second season of the Audi one-make cup will be given during the DTM season opener at the Hockenheimring on the first weekend in May.
