.ReneRastRacing says he is 'grateful' to Audi after ending a 12-year stint with the revered German marque in last weekend's DTM finale at Hockenheim.
Rast was due to continue his relationship with Audi for a number of years and already had a deal in place for the 2023 season, but was released from contract to pursue other opportunities following the Ingolstadt-based marque’s decision to scrap the LMDh project that he was leading.
“I'm a driver who I am now because of Audi Sport,” explained Rast after finishing second in the Hockenheim DTM finale last weekend which cemented his third position in the standings. “But I was able to prepare myself for that scenario, so it wasn't that hard. But still I had to fight many times.“ Returning to the series this year after his season in Formula E, he scored a 25th career win at Imola and added a further six podium finishes to reach a final tally of 46 in just five seasons of racing, making him the most successful Audi driver ever to compete in the series.
