Doreen Seidel is 29 years old and she started racing in 2011. Since then she has participated in various Cup competitions.

“We started planning the event several months ago,” says Project Leader Rolf Michl. “Now we’re delighted that we’ve managed to have three noblemen on the grid as guest entrants, which adds further value to the Audi Sport TT Cup as part of the DTM race weekend.”

The race should be entertaining and the chance to see both nobility and a celebrity race is one that doesn’t happen everyday. For our readers in Germany, this should be a good racing weekend with the Audi Sport TT Cup and then DTM.
