After two events in Germany, the DTM cross country will be traveling to the first international event next weekend (1st to 3rd June). At the Hungaroring near Budapest Schaeffler driver Mike Rockenfeller has already achieved good results.

Exciting races with many overtaking maneuvers and impressive catch-up hunts - the DTM 2018 has what it has promised of at the beginning of the season. Mike Rockenfeller is a sporty bright spot and an eye-catcher: In his newly designed green-and-white Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM, the Schaeffler brand ambassador, champion of 2013, has made a total of 14 ranks in the previous four races. Big highlight was the second place at the opening weekend in Hockenheim.

In Hungary, races number five and six out of a total of 20 are on the program. The 4.381-kilometer Hungaroring is about half an hour's drive northeast of the capital Budapest and has made its DTM debut in 1988, even at the time of the Iron Curtain. After a long break, the course did not celebrate its DTM comeback until 2014. The Hungaroring is a challenging circuit with fast corners and many changes of direction. Due to the new coating, the racing cars have good grip. Mike Rockenfeller has twice missed the podium in fourth place in five races so far.

Schaeffler has two plants in Hungary and a sales office. The plant in Szombathely celebrated its 20th anniversary last year. Since the return of the DTM to Hungary, several hundred local Schaeffler employees cheer each year on the route to Mike Rockenfeller.

Long DTM tradition
In the early years of the DTM, Schaeffler and its product brands supported drivers and teams with motorsport and technical know-how. Since 2011, the technology concern has been named after the Schaeffler-Audi and has already celebrated great success with two titles, among others. The DTM traditionally uses vehicles with internal combustion engines. With its innovative technologies and products for the automotive industry, Schaeffler also makes an important contribution to making combustors efficient and fit for tomorrow's mobility.
