The Audi Sport Seyffahrt R8 LMS Cup kicked off its second season at last weekend\u2019s DTM opener at the Hockenheimring. The one-make cup is held over seven race weekends.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At five of these, the professionals, juniors and gentlemen drivers feature on the support programme for arguably the most popular international touring car series. As it did last year, premium tyre maker Hankook supplies the Audi Sport Seyffahrt R8 LMS Cup with its successful Ventus Race tyre and supports the teams with its technical expertise.<\/p>\n

The most familiar face in the Audi Sport Seyffahrt R8 LMS Cup is that of Rahel Frey. In 2009, the Swiss driver became the first woman ever to win a race in the German Formula 3 Cup. She then switched to GT racing and spent two years competing in the DTM.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old Swiss feels the race tyres provided by premium tyre maker Hankook are the ideal partner for the Audi Sport Seyffahrt R8 LMS Cup: \u201cI know the Hankook race tyre and have always really enjoyed driving on it. You have a good peak in qualifying, then honest feedback in the race. The tyre lets you know when you are asking for too much, but also forgives mistakes. This allows newcomers to learn a lot about tyre management.\u201d<\/p>\n
