Audi cleans up in this year’s DTM

Published: 25 Oct 2011

Hurrah! Audi seems to have won everything at the lightly bafflingly Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters, or DTM.

There are two titles to play for - teams' championship and drivers' championship. The latter was won by Martin Tomczyk, who was helming an 2008 Audi A4 for Audi Sport Team Phoenix (non-factory backed). The teams' championship was won by fellow factory-backed Audi Sport Team Abt Sportsline, which was running a brace of five rather lovely 2008 A4 DTMs.

To celebrate, here are pictures of something less baffling - knee-weakening Audi DTM cars being driven by mentalists.
