ABT Sportsline enters the 2022 season as the most successful active DTM team with 22 DTM years behind them. The record of the Bavarian team so far: four drivers’ championships, five team titles, 71 victories and 229 podiums in 253 DTM races.
“2022 is a very special year for ABT Sportsline,” says Head of Sports Marketing Harry Unflath. “In 1952, exactly 70 years ago, Johann Abt won the first race of his career and thus laid the foundation for today’s Team ABT Sportsline. Successes in the DTM have always been extremely valuable for us and fit perfectly with our motto ‘From the racetrack to the road’.”
With the reigning German GT Champion Ricardo Feller (Switzerland), three-time DTM Champion René Rast (Germany) and last year’s overall third-placed Kelvin van der Linde (South Africa), Team ABT Sportsline has the best prerequisites to continue its unique success story in the DTM.
This year, professional photographers and fans have an additional incentive to set their sights on the three ABT Audi R8 LMS GT3 evo II cars. The ABT Photo Challenge 2022 is looking for the best photos from the 2022 DTM with reference to Team ABT Sportsline in the three categories action, emotions and partners.

After each DTM event, fans can vote via Team ABT Sportsline’s social media channels and choose the best photo in each of the three categories. The winners of each category will receive valuable prizes.
