Audi to Kick Start Single-Make Racing Series Sport TT Cup

Highlights
Audi has announced plans to launch a new single-make racing series called the Audi Sport TT Cup. The series will be launched next year at each of six DTM events in Germany and the neighbouring countries, two races of the Audi Sport TT Cup are planned.
quattro GmbH will prepare and field 24 cars and six will be reserved for rotating guest drivers. The remaining 18 spots are open and Audi is accepting applications effective immediately. Since it is the Audi Sport TT Cup, its a no brainer that the cars used will be the TT and the cars will be equipped with an aerodynamic body kit that includes a carbon fibre front splitter, extended fender flares and a massive rear wing. The model also has Matrix LED head-lamps and a center-mounted single exhaust.
The stripped out interior has a multi-function steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster and a roll cage. There's also a fire extinguishing system and a PS1 safety seat from the R8 LMS ultra. Powering this beast is a 2.0-litre TFSI, four-cylinder engine which develops 310 bhp and 400Nm of torque.
The model will have a push-to-pass function that temporarily allows the engine to develop an additional 30bhp. The engine is mated to a 6-speed S-tronic transmission.
According to Audi Technical Development boss Dr Ulrich Hackenberg, "The Audi TT is an icon and continues to epitomize powerful sportiness and emotional design in what is now its third generation. For me it was clear that a driving machine like the new Audi TT belongs on the race track as well. With the Audi Sport TT Cup we have found an exciting approach. The TT is going to thrill fans and drivers."
