The long-standing partners teams, ABT Sportsline, Phoenix Racing and Team Rosberg, are fielding the seven Audi A5 DTM cars and the drivers taking the wheel of the seven cars this season are well-known too.

Two-time champions Mattias Ekstrom and Timo Scheider will race under the colours of Team ABT Sportsline, as young female driver Rahel Frey, from Switzerland - who is about to run her second DTM season - will drive the third car of the squad.

Phoenix Racing will run two Audi A5 DTM for Mike Rockenfeller and Miguel Molina, while Team Rosberg’s line up remains unchanged with young guns Filipe Albuquerque and Edoardo Mortara, the two strongest rookies in 2011 season.

BMW’s line-up has been already announced in January, while only Ralf Schumacher and Gary Paffett have been confirmed at Mercedes-Benz.

The season starts at the end of April at the Hockenheimring, Germany.
